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......................

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
