i was surprised they let him so early and that he actually did it 1st shot.
You ought to have him keep at it if he has that much natural skill. For my black belt test I had to do a running jump sidekick over two people and break a 2 inch thick piece of wood.

Unfortunately nothing I learned ever would have helped me one bit in a real fight....every fight I've ever been in ended up on the ground within about 3 seconds.

Good stuff Scary. I got my 7 year old in Muay Thai classes now, didn't force him to...I train, and I guess he just gravitated towards it that way. Proud moment indeed.

Karate is good for his discipline, but I'd suggest a martial art where simulation goes on every day, this way he will be better prepared.
