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?

Edit: Thank you all for you recommendations! We decided to visit few dojos and speak with the instructors and let her decide. Most probably will be TKD since few videos we’ve watched she found the kicks impressive loll. 🤪

    I did Jiaido, Jiu Jitsu and very briefly Aikido. All of them were great, because they created a safe space. Everyone was respectful, cared about consent, it boosted my self esteem and made me feel strong and capable - all good for a girl to learn. I figure as long as this is part of the sport, it doesn’t matter what martial art they choose, as long as they enjoy it.

    …but Jiu Jitsu was also the most fun xD
