I just signed my 5 year old for TKD. I knew I wanted him to do it for the confidence, discipline and respect. I waited until this fall because he seemed ready. We have been going 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks. I only intended to bring him 2x a week but he loves it and wants to go more. Yesterday he got his first stripe on his white belt and you have never seen such a proud boy. I have also noticed (and part of this is just developmental but still relevant) that he is paying attention more to his teachers and swim instructor rather than goofing off and being told 100 times to pay attention. His master would never stand for that and I think it is spilling over to other aspects of his life.
