re: Martial Arts for Kids Recommendations

My kid is almost 5, and I thought now would be a good time to start instilling confidence beyond what I already do at home.

My son is 10. HAs been involved in TKD for 5 years. He loves it.

This year his soccer practices switched night s and conflicted with TKD. He was crying trying to figure out how to keep up with both. He did not want to fall behind his friends in either one.

Luckily his instructors in both are willing to work with him.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is to find an instructor who is GOOD WITH KIDS. They need to be firm but also delicate. Not enough discipline is as bad as too much. Most teachers teach variants of several martial arts.

We are happy with where we are. Good luck.
