Martial arts for children: How to Choose the Right Martial Art for Your Child

There is no doubt that the more children learn martial arts skills early, the better. So if you want an Olympic medal at home for karate, taekwondo or judo, make your children start early!

Martial arts training is not only about fighting learning. In fact, for many martial artists, this is the last reason they are trained. Physical fitness, balance, mental serenity, security and a lot of fun can be gained from these lessons. But the best that martial arts can give us is the way of self-discovery. By facing challenges and training during good and bad times and bearing adversity we will be able to identify ourselves already.

What are the best martial arts for your toddler?

If any of the martial arts I can recommend to young children? I’m talking about six-year-olds here. Well, there is one martial art very suitable and practical in self-defense for young children and is called Judo. Literally means “soft road” – in Japanese. Unlike other arts such as karate, martial arts, boxing, or taekwondo, judo is based on land-based and wrestling techniques that are unlikely to expose anyone to serious injuries but are an important part of self-defense. Your child can use these methods to escape in the event of an attack or for dominate and control if he is unable to escape. If one of your friends does not believe it, make him look for Brazilian martial art “Joe Jitsu” to find out where he came from. It is the martial art from which the art of Judo is directly derived and is one of the most important elements of the various martial arts of our time.
