id say not to teach them till about 14-16 years of age. thats when kids get more mature and serious.

That is true, but kids can still gain from the exposure. There are literally thousands of kids around the country into Kid's Wrestling, and it benefits them greatly, giving them an outlet for their energy, and providing good exercise. I think that other Martial Arts, like Karate and TKD, can do the same, if approached correctly.

I'd always check and interview anyone of any age to make sure they're qualified to learn martial arts to begin with. Once that's done, I think it's all about discipline and repetition.

Whatever it comes down to, i don't really care, i am a woman, i can protect myself, and even more than that i have a "Budo" instinct and that's all i care about. I'll survive, so the rest is just whatever it is... |
Amen, sister!

| As for kids being in karate I think it is great. I wish you see more in karate and other activitys, then there would not be so many couch potatoes (that is my nice way of putting it). |
