kickboxing for 3 yr olds? email this discussion to a friend?

So my 3 yr old son wants to start kick boxing, actually its twekondo, kick boxing, and self defense classes altogether. but they have a ninja turtle class for 3 and up, he really liked watching, and he started kicking in the air, but I dont know if you should start kids that young in activities like that. Im kinda split, do you think you should start them young, or do you think they should sleep in late and be a kid before they start to have commitments?

I think that classes for young children are fine as long as the child is enjoying them. MY only concern would be with the parents that enroll their children in a bunch of different classes at a time. That can make a child's schedule a little hectic and I don't think that is good for them. My son is 8 and I have been thinking about getting him involved in Teo Kown Do. My brother has taken a few of those classes and he was trying to teach my son a few moves.

well they say its really good for self confidence and structure, and it teaches them a lot of respect. thats why I think its a lot for a 3yr old. My sister took 1 class and she already came back, just a little more structured I think.

My husband said it should be alright. He trained a little in Tai Kwon Do and he has no objection to our sons doing it. If the class is specified for his age then I don't see much of a problem. In most self defense classes its not just teaching how to fight, but most importantly self discipline, which is a defining aspect of those martial arts classes. For young children, they probably keep it fairly simple. You just need to be there when he takes the classes and discuss what he learned in the class, make sure he knows not to use those moves on anyone else unless they are trying to hurt him. Things like that. It shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Wow ninja turtle clases must be awesome, I think my boys will love it.

I think they should have some classes but not too many. My 4 yr old goes for robotics classes now once a week and he simply loves building those robots and dinosaurs that climb up stairs. They use lego to build them and my sons looks forward to each class.
