kids and martial arts?
ChadTower:
Might not be a good example... those guys don't make nearly as much as people think... all the money goes to the reps who signed them for pennies when they were random metrosexual teenagers.
shmokes:
Yeah . . . it also depends, though. Even entirely manufactured acts like nSync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, etc., still end up sitting on a mountain of gold. I know that less successful groups like 98 degrees might end up living large on the studio's dime during their heyday and then ending up with little in the bank, but I'm talking about the ones that it actually works out for. And when it does, it really works out for them. Of course the studio still pockets the majority, but even the small fraction of the revenue that they get to keep is still an enormous sum.

You may consider Wushu for a childs introduction to the arts...and for
shear acrobatic and graceful abilities gained:
5yr old Wushu Girl
Wushu Boy
Wushu, is a form of Kungfu. However, much of the power and realism has
been stripped away, and its more of a dance and acrobatics performance.
Still, there are many actual valid weapons and hand moves within each form.
These forms blow most TMA forms out of the water for shear depth of complexity.
And for Shmokes, who thinks the Matrix style moves are unrealistic, here is a
decent drill that is done in WC at speed. The good WC people can perform this stuff in a
live combat manor, without looking like a bad kickboxing or mma match. The bad ones
simply need more practice.
WARNING: Master Wong Curses like a Drunken Sailor. It will amuse ! :) heh
Decent WC Training & Concepts
Body unity for power
Training with Armor
Kicks, Energy Redirection & Short range Power

LMAO, Xiaou, there's a reason I point to UFC as giving martial arts legitimacy. You may as well be showing me WWE clips to legitimize wrestling. Everything in those clips is staged. It's choreographed. Both people know what is coming from each other and they have collaborated beforehand. It is exactly the same as The Matrix or Bloodsport. The little girl is pretty cute, though. :)
ChadTower:
Xiaou2, I would never consider entering my kid in anything like that competition.
