Anyone knows anything about Tai kwando for weight loss or to be fit for children ages 6-12?

Question

which Martial arts is best for being fit and confident? not to defend yourself.

Answer 1

Find a real school and make sure they are intent on having the kids train for real to hit each other.

TKD is way too suspect for a kid the age of 6. Chances are they are just doing krotty day care and you are wasting your money.

Either send them to another activity or chose a different martial art where there is less likelyhood of you bieng ripped off and them doing crappy point sparring tkd.

A crappy school won't teach them real self-defence, what it will do is give them the illusion of self-defense so when they go out and use it they could be hurt or killed because of it.

If there is any doubt maybe start them off with boxing or judo. If you don't want your child learning to strike at such a young age then push them towards a more grappling oriented system like judo, sambo, bjj, sui chao or folkstyle wrestling (the type used in high school). Freestyle wrestling would be unlikely but that would be good as well.

Answer 2

If you plan on getting your children involved in Martial Arts. I would suggest Judo over Tai Kwan Do, Karate or other punching, kicking (striking) styles, which will have them kicking everything in the house and will only teach them to break wooden blocks etc.
Judo is done on mats and is a full body work out. There is no punching or kicking involved and they are not permitted to learn or use arm/leg locks or chokes until they are a certain rank and age. They don't just go up a level because they learned how to do a certain kick or because it's been a certain amount of months etc.
I started in Judo when I was 4 and began competing in tournaments when I was 5. I competed for over 12 years before I decided to try Wrestling for a while. It is a very suitble art for young children and for adults of all ages. And then as they get older if they want to move on to a striking art or a submission one they will have a better foundation to build off of.

Answer 3

I would not worry about the art. I would focus on the school. TKD, kick-boxing, Muay Thai Boxing, Boxing, some karate, some grappling schools (BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu), and a lot more have aerobic and fitness qualities too them. For a person of a developing age I would recommend something that is active like a good TKD, Karate, or Kung Fu or Wu Shu school that hopefully doesn't hurt the joints. Check out what is in your area. Talk to the instructors... watch the students he/she would be practicing with and look at the more advanced students. Watch pricing and compare schools. Most schools (except for the cults) should be working with the students confidence, discipline and fitness. Be prepared to help him/her at home.

best of luck to you.

Answer 5

It is not the style but the instructor. If you are not interested in self-defense then send the kid to gymnastics, or other such thing. Or you can try the kiddy karate classes at the local Y.
