Thanks. We tried karate at the age of 4 (he may have been too young) and it was an unmitigated disaster, to the point where the instructors gladly gave back our contractually-binding monthly fee and bid us good riddance
. Unfortunately, I think it soured him on karate as a whole, and he probably will not want to give it a try again.
We're trying soccer this fall, as he seems to really have taken a liking to kicking the ball around. We're trying to instill the simple things as well, like there will be other kids on his team who will want to kick the ball as well, it's okay to not be perfect, listening to the coaches and referees, etc. We shall see how it goes - I'm always open to pleasant surprises.
