Karate for little kids????!
Question: Karate for little kids!?!?!?!?
My son is 5 and although he loves to wrestle and roughhouse with his cousins, he says he is afraid to play baseball, football, ect!. I think it comes from his fear of not being good and something and getting frustrated easily!. His cousins r very naturally athetic, and I think he feels he can't measure up!. At 3 I took him to a soccer class, and after the first few classes, he hated it, and really put a fuss up about going, it was such an upsetting headache!. He is very personable, and likes to yell and run around!. I thought if I tried karate it may boost his self esteem!. He gets frustrated fast and then cries, and this causes me alot of anxiety, because I don't want him to singled out as a wimp by other kids, because I want the very best for him!. Do you think karate would be good for him, and what do they do in classes at this young age!? Also he is a big kid built like bull, but if he doesnt get more active it could go to being overweight soon, he weighs 56 lbs!. at 5Www@Answer-Health@Com

My friend who is a sensei in Akido, Jiu Jitsu and Judo, says he likes to start training kids as young as five!. He says the best pupils at the end are the ones who start young!. However, he will not award a black belt until age 18 because black belts are for adults!. He's from Manila and very much the traditionalist about martial arts!.
I remember my nephew's son taking karate, and suddenly his grades and behavior zoomed!. He was so focused, friendlier and stopped his outbursts about his mother just taking off and leaving!. His instructor had a lot to do with that, and now he's just graduated high school with honors after struggling in first and second grade!.
So by all means, enroll your son!. The benefits are enormous!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
