I'm going to take Alison's advice and find a martial arts school for him - preferably one that teaches good defensive techniques. Because teaching him to punch or kick won't do any good, I can't imagine him hitting anyone.


I really do think it's a good idea.  Tai kwondo is good for defensive moves, blocking, parrying, and so on.  While karate uses the opponent's momentum against them.  You could probably look around the area you're in for the best value for money for what you want.

I really recommend Karate (only because it's the only one I know anything about Smile )

It changed my son from a withdrawn frightened young teenager into a confident, happy young man.
He never had to use it as a defense because it changed his very demeanour and gave him a "presence" (not threatening, just confident) that meant he was simply left alone.



When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth.I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens. And learn to spit...
