Hi everyone! So, my niece is alsmost 6 years old and is very energetic and generaly active as a child. Her parents are thinking of sending her to either Karate or Tae Kwon Do, both for physical and spiritual exercise and development. Which one do you think could fit better for her age and also considering she likes it which is better in the long term?
Is there a way to try out both and see which one the child prefers? Maybe the clubs have some open door events in the autumn?
I did karate and judo around that age. It was mostly about games and having fun. Not really about the techniques etc. Definitely not about self defense or things adults relate these kind of sports to.
