    My parents were always involved when i did martial arts at a younger age and it was great fun i have a kid on the way so i hope to do the same.

    Good for you, and great that you want to get your kids into the arts eventually! But why not start back yourself? Easier to have the kids stick to it that way ... just sayin' :-)

    Started my son in martial arts. A week or so into it I asked myself why I was sitting on the side with the other parents. So I joined up and started running around the mat with the rest of the kids. About 6 years later my son and I earned our black belts. He went on to be the head student at the school. It was a very positive experience and I'm so glad we had that father son time together :) That's part of my motivation for creating the lenses I do on martial arts. Even though we studied JKD, an aspect of Bruce Lee's art included Wing Chun. I've got a lens on the Muk Jong Wooden Dummy if you wanna check it out. Thank you for your lens!

    Thanks for dropping by Chris and for your father and son experience! Great way to spend time with you children for sure.
    Best of luck with your martial arts and with your own lenses :-)

    Martial Arts for kids sets them up for life with discipline, work ethic and a positive attitude. It's definitely one of those things that schools should bring in to the curriculum.

    Excellent lens...

    Hi,
    i thought I would just say that I think that children need to learn ho to portct them self too!!
    As if there is not a reason for them too just look at how many children are been kiddnaped. that should be enough for them to say it is a good thing for kids to learn!!

    Lovely lense. I've been training in various martial arts of number of years now hold a black belt in kickboxing. Have to say that well taught kickboxing helps kids of all ages. They learn most of the technique of karate or TKD but with more controlled contact in a potentially more fun environment.

    This is a great lens. It is important, especially for kids, to have an active lifestyle. It makes it much easier for them to continue one into their future. Also, it is important to have coverage for active kids. Check out this site. Insurance Coverage

    Thanks Kalyanna.
    Just to clear any possible misundestandings.. I am a male. At least I was one last time I checked :-)
    Still, I agree 100% on what you say about strong women sharing their experiences.
    The arts have so much to offer children and adults alike - male or female.
    Keep on kicking!

    You have a really great lens here. I enjoy it when strong women share their experiences. It only serves to help us all become stronger.

    I have been a volunteer instructor in Tae kwon do for several years, 3rd degree black belt myself. My three sons, 15, 12 and 9 are also black belts (2nd, 2nd and 1st degree). Love to brag about them!

    Kids get so much from martial arts training as do adults.

    I just started a website for all the taekwondo enthusiasts out there. Please stop by www.taekwondo-network.com and let me know what you think. I will gratefully accept article submissions to include and link.

    Great lens. My kids have been in Tae Kwon Do for the last 5 1/2 years. They are now 10 & 12 and second degree blackbelts. (my husband & I are first degree) It has been amazing for them. They have gained confidence, self esteem & discipline. They are great students & very respectful. I attribute a lot of it to TKD. They also know how to fight off the 'bad guy'.
