my son wants to get into karate i think it would be a great thing for him to learn and my friend teaches it so i get discount lessons for him
i'm just gonna wait till he is 10 years old so that he is old enuff to understand what it means to learn it and that he cant just go around beating up kids hehe
I wouldn't worry about that Betty ... any school worth it's salt will drum into the wee ones that what they are taught is not to be used aggressively, under any circumstance ... school yard, siblings, etc. I taught kids for over 6 years and never had one purposely use what they were taught outside of the school.
We have kids starting at the age of 5 ... at that age it's more about discipline, and not so much the art. Classes for that age group are 45 minutes due to the fact that the attention span wanes after that time.
