My son who is seven wants to start training in martial arts, and in our town these are the two options. I just don't know which one to choose! I want to choose the best one but I have very limited knowledge on both, which one would you all go for?
mma, or even better start him off with boxing then mma
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
Martial arts, from experience, isn't always best to be learnt from a young age. This may not be true in tae kwondo, or MMA, but from my experience in both judo and karate, the kids are taught very basic stuff, even at the higher grades. For example, at my club, the equivalent of a blue belt (8th belt) for a child is the yellow belt (3rd belt) for an adult. As I said, this may not be true in all martial arts, but I know that attaining a black belt as a child at my club is a rather simple affair, and it shouldn't be, hence why the difficulty is stepped up greatly for adults.
As for which martial art you should choose? I have no idea, although I've heard MMA is the proper, dirty fighting stuff.
