[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 335919, member: 7916"] My difficult child took karate for a year or so and it was very good. BUT, and that is a big but...he took it through a gymnastics school, which is the only reason I allowed it. Both instructors were female, which I also liked, so there wasn't a macho element. I looked at some more typical karate schools and didn't like them, but the karate classes at the gymnastics school were very focused on learning to control your body and move in specific ways, much as you would in gymnastics. The kids also had to repeat a non-violence oath in each class. It worked well for us until difficult child got too old for the youngest class. At that point, he was physically too large for that class, but too impulsive/immature for the next level. But, we might try it again some day. [/QUOTE]
