Depends on which aspects of martial arts are taught. Agree that the "fighting" elements shouldn't be taught too early - I believe it sends the wrong message.

I used to teach at a Kung Fu school where classes for kids that young were really all about fun exercise, teaching basic patterns and things like respect for others, etc. including spending a fair bit of time on how violence is never a good thing etc. Any form of contact fighting for competitions etc was only taught to adult members.

Plus, although some martial arts styles have set standards in terms of curriculum, grading etc, schools vary hugely depending on the teachers.

Thank you so much for your replies .

Found a great class on Lordship Lane at the Bapist Church Wednesday from 5.30pm. My son loved it and Daniel the teacher was so good with him despite him being the youngest on that day at the class ( I have been told they do get young ones in , it's a drop in class ?4).


My son certainly isn't too young to know about discipline , respect , and the rest that goes with martial arts .

my son doez the wednesday class with daniel as well, he is brilliant, there are threads on here about him, daniel walters taekwondo, he takes children from 4 years old up wards, come along the first lesson is free, he also does a class on a saturday at 1 oclock at albrighton too......................

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
