I would recommend athletics and gymnastics, kids develop endurance, speed leverage, flexibility and core strength and they also learn, to a degree, to deal with pressure as the competition is fierce! Particularly in athletics. Teach technique more than just pushing through the 'pain barrier' as kids do need time for their bodies to develop. I am running my kids around every day to different sporting /musical/educational activities and I really can see the benefits. The old saying you get out what you put in is definitely true. Personally I would never (imo) waste mine or my kids time with karate but I see swimming as essential. Atb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why not Karate? a good low risk martial art for kids imo good for co-ordination,fitness and discipline,they'll do the proper stuff when they get a bit older . we probably won't do gymnastics because of the injuries a lot of people seem to pick up. But it does of course depend on what they enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couldnt agree more let kids be kids.........for kids a bike is for pissing about on,fighting is about having a laugh with your mates,sport is about creating heros.........by all means guide them towards sport and healthy active living but dont take it too serious.......when they are ready to take it serious you,ll know but pushing them into it too early you may well end up pushing them straight past it ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I totally agree, kids should not be pushed too hard, particularly with hardcore fitness training or excessive pressure but teaching basic balance and leverage techniques will only help them in any sport and for the rest of their lives. I find athletics and gymnastics to be best for this but kids definitely also need time to just be kids. Getting the balance right or close to right is not really that hard though.

I want them all doing some sort of martial art,not that I'll push them I'll just get them to keep tying until we find one they like. I converted a 2nd dan away from Karate when he came to train with me,first he realised it couldn't hold its own against jujitsu,and his flicky high kicks and chambered punching couldn't save him from getting pasted by even novice Thai boxers. There's a video floating around online of me teeping him about 15 foot off the mat sparring,kiaing all the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
