My son took Tao kwon at a place in Jackson/ridgeland, what a joke. All it was about was how fast they could get to the next 75 dollar test, the fall uniform, oh don't forget the fall uniform before the fall uniform. Just a big dance class.

Boxing, if you can find an old school boxing gym.

Exactly, the kiddie classes pay the bills.

Tae Kwan Do for lower cost, and ease of learning
Krav Maga if they ever want to learn anything they can use for defense.

You just don't know, kids that didn't have the latest uniform were chastised, it was already 150 bucks a month. Felt so bad for a kid one day I bought his mom the fall uniform. Mean while the owner driving a new BMW every six months. Running around preaching while steady stealing money.

Damn I've got mad about this all over again a year after. So stupid.

It sucks that I keep seeing this. It's something that's kinda fun to incorporate into training but it's otherwise ineffective. That front groin kick they teach will you get wrecked by someone with even the most rudimentary striking skills, and you're 100% doomed if you try that garbage with a grappler. It's not even a proper teep kick.
Krav has it's place, but it's something you add after you have built a skill set.

You should find a reputable place for your child to study where the child would have been exposed to the benefits of the discipline.

Obviously he made a mistake. You've never made a mistake?

Wrestling is a great place to start, or Judo. Leverage, technique, strength.... All very important.
My son has been studying TKD for about 5 years. Am trying to get him interested in wrestling. He will be attending BM in a few years.

TKD is no joke. High level TKD guys have some of the strongest kicks in the business.

Some of it has to do with poor instructors capitalizing on the fad, and some of it has to do with liability. Civilian instructors really can't, or shouldn't, go into the military version of KM. Instructors will get sued if they did.

This is really really stupid. It's right up there with Aikito masters being too deadly to display their full capabilities, five finger death punches, and jesus on toast.

Evaluate what your kid's ultimate goals are. Do they want to learn martial arts because they want to be able to kick arse in a street fight in the local trailer park? Or do they want to participate in a sport and compete in tournaments?
BJJ is great for fighting, but I think most kids will get pretty bored learning to hug people to death. If you want to compete in martial arts as a great individual sport, then choose by organization first, then find a school in that organization. Tae Kwon Do is probably the most popular for kids. However, some organizations offer a much wider variety of competition. Some offer not only traditional competition (forms and sparring), but also offer weapons training (sword, nunchucks, kamas, bo staff, etc.) With those that offer weapons competition, some offer traditional weapons competition only, whereas other organizations offer Creative/Extreme/Musical competition - where you create your own "contemporary" martial arts forms or weapons forms and choreograph them to music. Extreme martial arts involves "tricking" - which basically combines gymnastic movements (flips and such) with martial arts kicks. In my opinion, the option to learn weapons and getting involved in Creative/Extreme keeps kids interested a whole lot more. Traditional stuff gets boring when you're limited to doing the same old form over and over for a year or more.
Some organizations offer their own closed circuit of competition (e.g. ATA, Tiger Rock) , while others compete in open circuit leagues (e.g. NBL, NASKA). Don't be fooled by thinking open circuit is larger just because it is open circuit. Some of the closed league organizations are larger than the open circuit leagues. And competing in one of those does not keep you from competing in open circuit as well (although I hear some organizations try to limit you to just their league - I wouldn't get in an organization that is going to tell you what your kid can and can't do on their own time).
Seriously, think long and hard about what your kid's ultimate goals are - once you get a year or two into an organization, there's pretty much no turning back).
