It is something they will enjoy and for sure they will learn a lot, that includes discipline. It can be a good alternative for outdoor sports. Kids are also vulnerable to crime and Martial Arts are something they should learn also for self defense. Martial Arts is a great deal for kids.

I ve been in martial arts for 7 years now and have grown from an below averidge amateur to the almost proffessional muay thai fighter. I belive that that enrolling kids at youg age in martial arts is great idea. Not just for sake of self defense but also couse involving them in sprots makes their bodies stronger and also gives them good and strong foundation for the future- being an athlete and avoid alcohol, drugs, smoking etc. Hey man!

Zimmer Tue, 01 Jan 2008 05:18:29 +0000 http://scottsafetyshop.com/blog/?p=275#comment-8248 Hi Scott, I think this is generally good advice for a self-defense oriented martial arts school. I think if a parent is not as concerned as the nuts and bolts of karate or judo - he or she might want to look for pure self-defense lessons. I think the worthiness either way can be argued but as always... the parent should make an informed decision before selecting a school. You might be interested my post entitled, "How to Evaluate a School" at: http://myselfdefenseblog.com/http:/myselfdefenseblog.com/how-to-evaluate-a-school/ as it goes into what insight I may have to offer on this important issue.
