Don't worry that your kid doesn't seem to focus...
My son is 9 and a bit and he was taking Karate (the instructor did a lot of yelling so he quit) but is now taking Kendo with me.
He still has trouble paying attention at times but (after 6 months) is progressing nicely. Our Sensei is very patient with him and recognizes that he is just a kid and has a different approach than the adults and teens he is teaching.
That isn't to say he is easy on him. Yesterday he made him do an excersize with the entire dojo watching because he didn't feel my son was doing it right...
In the end, different kids react differently to different Senseis... choose your teacher carefully.
