[QUOTE="daytomann, post: 2184072, member: 10301"] Meh, Be careful with that. While I agree, its great to learn a discipline and it does help with confidence, I would pick said discipline wisely. For young kids, things like karate and tae kwon do, instills a false confidence. Those disciplines just do not translate well for real world self defense at youg ages. I've heard it called having a belt to get your butt kicked. My little nephew gets picked on quite a bit at school but mostly by neighborhood kids. His parents decided Tae Kwon Do was a great way to help boost confidence and defend himslef....doesn't matter he still got his butt kicked the few times hes tried to defend himself. His best option has been to avoid the bullies. However, he does enjoy it but its also the only "sport" he's allowed to do. When we were kids, My next door neighbors took karate for many years, you know how boys are...we often got in neighborhood fights during football games, etc. We would easily handle those two guys when they tried their karate, We'd just take em to the ground and abuse them at will. Then we all be hanging out again after we went home to cool off. LOL! Dont get me wrong, I've seen it used quite effectively by adults/young adults...but kids, not so much. For kids, I'd suggest something useful, any kind of grappling like wrestling, jiu jitsu or judo. They are all great for real world self defense when youre talking about kids. IMHO. Like many people, I had to take up for my self a few times in Jr High when a bully decided to turn their attention on me. My wrestling served me well. A tight headlock and a few fists to their noggin as they were getting choked out was enough to get them off my case. I could realy set a deep headlock in my day :) [/QUOTE]
