Is it easier to get a black belt in Karate or Taekwondo ?
My son isn’t having a great deal of success in sports. He is very small for his age. He isn’t strong, but some people think he has good coordination. I was thinking that maybe he could be successful in martial arts. He is thirteen years old. Which martial arts program is the easiest?
Thank you to everyone who so tactfully pointed out that I shouldn’t want the easiest. I agree with you. My son hasn’t had athletic success, so I thought if he could earn a black belt, he’d feel better. I didn’t know that some places give away belts without earning them. What I was trying to do was match a child who isn’t particularly athletic to a sport. For example, it would be impossible for him to do well in football, but it would be possible for him to succeed in golf. I thought there might be a martial arts style that would be easier for a non-athletic person to master.
From your posts, I now have better criteria to use in selecting a school. I will look for one which is a fit and which will teach him a lot.
