What kind of martial arts, or self defence class would be great for a 4 year old to do? And, can anyone recommend a good martial arts school in Brisbane North?

  • My kids found tai kwondo very accessible from a young age, and I liked the positive messages about self management.


  • Thanks for asking. My partner and I are thinking of getting our little girl into martial arts when she’s older. I’ll be reading the answers with interest!


  • Zen Do Kai is great and the starting age in 5 … I’m in Vic

  • Karate is really good. It’s about self control yet defense too


  • If it was me I’d either go with karate or judo. Maybe take them along to one class to see how they go 🙂 good luck


  • Karate or Taik won is another good one


  • Wing-chun is a great defence based martial art.


  • Martial arts is good but I think self defense is more important
