I second the ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What a shameful gimmick! Are we going to have 6 year old black belts running around ? So sad........................
My son is almost 2, and has pretty good coordination for his age, but I wouldn't even consider putting him in this, cost aside!
In fact, I want to wait until he knows what Karate is, has asked to try it, and then made him wait a bit, so that he won't take it for granted when he does get to learn.
But he already knows how to hit, though not very well. (hooking palm heel strikes, if I had to name them! Lol.) He should be doing what comes naturally at this age -- climbing stuff, running in circles, throwing things, etc. Just taking him to a (free) park gives him plenty of stimulus to learn coordination and social skills.
Of course, that means that we take him, and not pay someone else to do it, which could be the draw.
What! You look after your own children, how shocking, whatever next! :boing2:
Hint, hint: we already do. I've had two different families come into my school with 8 year olds, claiming them to be second degree black belts in a very popular, not to be mentioned, art. So this would be nothing new.
Also, I noticed the site says she is 3rd dan. What style is she teaching? What style is she ranked in (out of curiosity)?
