I’m 17, and I’m very interested in taking up a martial arts discipline such as Kung-Fu, but I worry that I’m too old to start, considering I probably won’t be able to do it until I’m 18 and have my own money to spend on it… I was just wondering if it is as easy to find classes for adults as it is for children? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but thanks for your help…

My husband and I recently decided to tell my son that my husband isn’t his biological father… but we really don’t have a good idea as to when to tell him.. My son is 6 and very mature for his age. We want to do what is best for him and think it is best that we are honest and tell him. How old should he be?? And how do you tell him??
My son and his biological father are in taekwondo and just recently “met” each other for the first time (he introduced himself as an instructor, nothing else) at a tournament…and are mostly likely going to run into each other at future tournaments…so what do we do?? This is such a sticky situation. Please help!
We have him in Soccer now, but he has a kidney disease and has a hard time keeping up with the other kids. I want to give him a hobby that will enhance his self esteem without having to necessarily compare his strength or speed with other kids. I was thinking of Karate classes. Any other ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! We live in Northern California. Thanks!
Please no rude answers insuinating that I’m not taking my son’s feelings into consideration. I’m going to talk with him about what he wants to do OF COURSE, but I’d like to be armed with ideas should he ask me what his options are. And again, I said sports OR activities – I’m not looking for just sport related ideas. Thanks again for all the great ideas already. I appreciate it!

I love the idea of my little boy learning these skills. He is two. How can he be influenced? What should I know as a parent? How can I learn more about this art?
Do the Long Beach Intl Karate Championships have an age limit for competitors? Forms or sparring…?
