Frequently we're asked by parents "what is the best age to start my son / daughter in martial arts classes?" The answer, of course, is NOW. Why wait to give your child that extra edge in confidence and self-esteem? Do it before they reach the potentially difficult teenage years.

Duh, parents who ask the question about what is the best age to start their child in martial arts are referring to 4-5 year-olds.  Have you ever heard anybody say that you shouldn’t start your 10 year old in martial arts? Have you ever heard anybody say that they want their child to start martial arts but they are waiting until he turns 13?  He writes that he always tells people that now is the best time to start their child. He really needs da’ money.  Anybody who knows anything about kids knows that there are definitely 4-5 year olds who are not ready for activities that require concentration and discipline.
