After seeing the view on soft play and the clear dangers I was wondering what martial art my child should learn. Further reading made me realise that I also need to learn one to protect myself from other parents in case my parenting style differs from theirs.
So should we both learn the same or differentiate? My thinking was with their smaller frames the children should probably look for something ground based using holds and pressure points.
At only 8 months old my child has a very powerful cock stamp and other men can attest to both his power and accuracy. So this along with his ability to go for the eyes did make me think Krava Maga would be an option.
Further to this; as the age and weight classes are so varied in the soft play arena, is it acceptable for the smaller younger children to be armed with light non puncturing weapons (flails, maces etc.)?
