Old but intresting research.

I tried having a kids program when I first started the school, had a kenpo guy teaching it but, he quit and I was like man I don't know how to do any of this so at first I was pretty much running wrestling pactices but, then I talked to the parents and canceled the program.

I do still run two, week long camps in the summer for elementry and high school wrestlers. But that's the only kid orientated thing I do.

What experience? You don't have any info about yourself listed? You should atleast post an intro thread.

Otherwise you come off like a troll.

I could care less about my art being taught to children and most schools having youth programs. Actually I'm happy because TKD will be great for my son in a few years.

You get used to it and learn to adapt just like MA. The trick is to be consistent with your disipline, follow up is everything. We have three little ones and they go everywhere with either me or my wife. They are allowed very limited video game time and for the most part the game must be non-violent in content. All adults are addressed as Mr./Miss and never just by first name only. Also show no fear they can smell it, Say i love you when ever you get the chance you never know when it may be your last.
