My son loves Ninjago, is desperate to train to be a ninja like the characters, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to start a sports club.

Does anyone here have children doing karate or martial arts that could recommend one over the other, please?

Thank you

My kids (boy and girl) have both started Krav Maga. It's a lot of self-defense right now and all the kids are laughing and giggling from start to finish. Their confidence has increased and it's definitely worth investing in something like that. My son absolutely loves it and now knows how not to cry if someone gets physical during playtime, he also knows he doesn't have to retaliate but that he can walk away. I would check your local area and see what kind of kid activities they have available and try some different types. BTW: he passionately hated Judo.
