[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 22427, member: 2322"] My youngest did TKD for over two years. (We've just taken a break so he can play soccer). I think it was great for him. It gives him exercise (which he needed), it provides discipline and mental focus, and at the lower belt levels, there is actually very little practice using moves on others (so doesn't increase aggressiveness) and then where there is it is done in a very controlled less than full contact way. Plus it helped him feel more self confident. I have also read that the by working on the patterned sequences of moves they have in TKD, that it can help the different sides of the brain integrate better. I presume karate is similar to TKD. The only downside of it is that it has given him some powerful strong muscles. Good, except for the few periods were we have had some bad medication reactions etc and he has decided to kick us. I would highly recommend it. There is a lot to learn, my son was going 2-3 times a week, which seemed beneficial. Plus testing for the different belt levels gave him a sense of accomplishment.
