Yup

Full contact GOJO KAI and Sports Karate, the basis for cage fighting.

I'd recomend any of the traditional martial arts (judo, shotokan, wado, etc) for teaching disciplin, stay away from kick boxing or maui tai for the younger ones. Trust me broken bones as a kid are cool, but when you're 26 with lots of Dan's and black belts, it doesn't make up for the arthritus  :(

But finding a good club is the most important thing you can do, and make sure you  get insurance, most clubs will offer it to new students after about the 2nd or 3rd lesson.

Best of luck with it.

Used to assist with teaching Ju-jitsu to kids, best advice is go along to the training centres and have a look at what they do.
Take the kids and see if it is what they were expecting. Have a word with the other parents and the Sensi, to find out iit will suit your kids.
You will usually get a couple of free sessions to see if it is what they want to do and to see if they enjoy it.

Doesn't matter which you do at the young age, as there will be little of the aggressive style contact you may see older students using.

Don't forget you can go to the adult classes and have fun too!

Both my sons did Traditional Karate , eldest son got two out of the three tests done for black belt at 13 then dicovered girls and gave up  :lol: :lol:

youngest got to his fifth belt but gave up when his brother left  :(

still they both learned to be respectful and polite , and look after themselves  ;)

I would definatly recommed it...

My eldest son has just turned 6 years old and has been doing Karate since he was 4.  He's now a yellow belt, and estimated to get his black belt when he's 7.

He absolutely loves it and goes to 8 classes a week!  (He'd go to more if there were more hours in the day!)

He goes to Colne Valley Black Belt Academy, Huddersfield, were we pay £35 per month, and he can go to as many classes as he wants.

He also does Eskrima (stick fighting), XMA (extreme martial arts) and Sparring.

I can't recommend it highly enough, they teach discipline and respect, and have to learn the Student Creed, all about using their Karate skills for self defence, to respect others and to look after their own physical and mental health.

My 2 year old loves watching his brother, and can't wait to start going when he is 4 years old.

Worth every penny!
