whats the best age to start Martial Arts? I presume it would be young, as you could bend your body a little more. Like being able to put you're toe in your mouth :)
It becomes legal to begin Martial Arts at the age of 4.I believe that this is a silly rule because children at the age of 4 have a smaller concentration span and less co-ordination, I myself believe that the bast age to start martial arts is around 9-10 years old, the childs concentration span is greater and they are more focused.
I know where you are coming from. I do Karate just for fun and fitness. I like to spar but I cant say that it has helped me on the street before and I cant say it wil in the future as Karate is a fitness sport and not a fighting art.
