My Eldest son (6.5 years) has been to Taekwondo for just a few weeks now and I think he's totally hooked.
We chose Taekwondo because it's a form of self-defence and not a combat sport for the very same reasons as above. He loves Star Wars and all the usual violent cartoons a boy of 6 likes. There were a couple of kids in the same year as him that go to this class on a Saturday morning, so it was quite easy to get him interested. He's just got himself a suit, but is a bit too shy to wear it yet. I'm not going to push him, all in his own time.
Taekwondo does teach more than self-defence. It teaches self control, discipline and self-respect as well. I think it will be one of the best things for him to get into at such a young age.
His younger brother isn't 5 until June this year. After that he will be able to attend the classes if he wants to. But I think he just wants to learn how to kick people in the head (his words!). Not sure how this one will turn out. Watch this space.
