Martial Arts Kids Really Love

CHINESE SWORDSMANSHIP FOR CHILDREN

his section is about martial arts kids training? As the new sports season approaches, sign up details appear in the local paper for all the usual sports. Stop and think before rushing your child into soccer, netball, baseball, basketball or cricket. Is that the best activity for your child? What about something completely different that will train your child for life? Are your kids in martial arts. What about getting them into Chinese swordsmanship if it is available in your area.

The information in this part of the Chinese Swords Guide comes from a successful Kids Sword Club in the Blue Mountains of Australia. I hope it will inspire taiji teachers to start one in their area, or people who live close enough to send their children to mine.

I'll let you know what sword fighting equipment is needed, the cost and what sort of progress kids make. There will be a description of the skills the children learn, including test cutting, and information about tournament preparation.
