I'm definetly all for kids learning martial arts. I'm definetly NOT a fighter, and not physically agressive. With the right instructor, kids will know how to use it. Any instructors I know make the point, first and foremost, that you NEVER attack. I think Kevin above said something about if a kid slugs your kid, and thats it, better that your kid walks away. A good martial arts teacher will teach this. It is an absolute last resort, so if a kid is relentless in attacking, I want my child to know how to deal with it. To me, its just a part of teaching your child how to handle confrontation, as long as its all in proper perspective. In addition to self defense, it is true that martial arts is a HUGE confidence builder. It also does wonders for those kids who might BE the bullies. Giving them the structure and discipline of a good MA teacher, with a place they can safely take out their frustrations, can be very healthy.
