Which martial art?
Which martial art?
I'm considering signing my six year old up for martial arts class, but I'm not sure which one to choose. To be clear, it's not because we're dealing with a bullying situation or anything like that. It's more about starting a new physical activity, but I do want my kid to get some self-defense skills out of it. Our local options appear to be Taekwondo, Kung-fu, and Jiu-Jitsu/MMA. I did Taekwondo when I was a kid and it was fine, but I'm not sure that it's practical for self defense. Jiu-Jitsu/MMA seems very practical for self-defense, but the studios that offer it seem a little bit too blue-lives-matter for my liking. As for Kung-fu, I just know nothing about it.
How did you decide on a martial art for your kids?

Aikido has been good for mine. It was close and I didn’t like the karate class we tried. Just have to ignore Steven Sagan is a practitioner. You’re right about bjj at least at my gym. Other gyms might be different.
Carl launched himself into the air, a meteor of fury aiming to put a crater in Steven's sternum. He had trained for months to finally put an end to Steven's reign of terror and this was his moment. However, something was wrong. Why were there suddenly two Segals? It took only a millisecond for Carl to realize that his rival had employed gravitational lensing and his kick was completely off target, but it was already too late. With a flick of his wrist, Steven sent Carl flailing. Carl could only manage to grab Steven's collar, pulling them both into the telepod. The door slammed shut.
Neil watched from the shadows, smirking. The reign of Tyson was about to begin. His hand hovered over the keyboard.
