Not better

Not better, but as good as...

The author here asks what can be better than karate training for children. Make no mistake about it - quality karate training under an experienced teacher is absolutely great for kids.

But - and this is my point - the same goes for judo, taekwondo, jujutsu, hapkido, aikido, kung fu, wushu and a host of other martial arts.

It is not the art, but rather the way an art is taught and presented, that makes it potentially good (or not good) for a kid.

Story:
Today’s children are the leaders of tomorrow. What could be better if they are taught the good virtues of life and are instilled with the spirits of comradeship, friendship and positive attitude so that they become good and helpful members of the society when they grow up?

Children like to play, shout and create a nuisance most of the time. These unharnessed energies can be controlled and directed for the betterment of the society and for the child itself. What can be better than karate training at this young age?
