kids and martial arts?

ChadTower:
Anyone here have kids studying martial arts?  Karate, Judo, Tae Kwan Do, etc?

I have two boys, 8 and 10.  The younger one loves athletics and is on the small end of his age.  The older one doesn't care much and is way on the big (not fat) side of his age.  I have not found them a school yet and there are quite a few in the area.  I'm interested in the experiences of others with kids in this area if you're willing to share.   ;D

My daughter, 9 started around three months ago, she loves it.  Most schools will let you do a tryout class before joining.  She did a tryout at one school but didn't really like the atmosphere and teachers. 

We tried another place and she like that so that's where she goes now.

ChadTower:

I'm seeing a range of around $75-125 per kid with a combo discount for multiple.  Same there?

My kids do Jujitsu, and have since about 5 or 6. At that age it's more self defence/stranger awareness etc. My younger boy likes to think he's a ninja ;-)

I wouldn't worry about the kids size as all of the pupils will be different at that age. If he can go with a friend, so much the better.

Some martial arts focus more on mental and physical discipline than others - Karate springs to mind. Could be a bit intimidating for younger students. Try and focus on the fun element to get them hooked.

Send me your kids, $200, and some Turtle Wax(tm).  I'll teach 'em Karate!  :D
