Have a 6 yr old that wants to get into karate. The only experience I have is from the military, which was more or less jiu jitsu. Was wondering if anyone could recommend a certain type that would be intuitive for a 6 yr old while also being beneficial and useful.

I train BJJ so I am biased
BJJ is where it’s at.
Line up 99 percent of karate black belts and our blue belts will whipe them all over the mats...seriously and they want no part of our purple or brown belts
Message me if you want more details, I know a few great bjj gyms in North Texas

We lived in Brazil for 14 years and our kids grew up studying Brazilian ju jitsu. When we returned stateside both sons placed top three in various tournaments for age and weight, kick’n it and taking names. Our daughter applied her purple to combatives in the Army after commissioning and wiped out the unit down to the Staff Sgt. Had to call in one of the SFab to put her down, which resulted in a date, a proposal, and then a grandson. BJJ teaches discipline, endurance, and defensive martial arts without (generally) the eastern mysticism that is often part of the Asian martial arts schools.
"My grandfather told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He also told me to try to be in the first group since there was much less competition."

Saw about a eleven year old girl whose dad taught Brazilian ju jitsu demonstrate a few moves. Multi day pistol tactical course with some hands on weapon retention and takeaways. You don't want to tangle with anyone like that.

Message me if you want more details, I know a few great bjj gyms in North Texas I know of one that if he was still alive would more than hold his own, but then again he was dual black belt, third degree in ju jitsu and 8th degree in an Okinawan style of karate, trained in Okinawa.

Another fan of BJJ and also Aikido. Both great at using the attackers weight and size against them and then having a chance to get away. My daughter took one on one boxing lessons for about a year and she really enjoyed it. Just recently stopped and said she wants to try golf instead, so I think we’re gonna go chase that little white ball around. She’s about to be 14 and I really think she gained a lot of self confidence this past year.

No expert, but trained BJJ for years as well as boxing and MMA.
I would vote for BJJ, and good old fashion American wrestling. If you get your kid in a good BJJ school there will probably be a good wrestling coach there as well.

BJJ first, Aikido second. IMHO
95+ % of fights go to the ground

BJJ, Aikido & Krav Maga.
Krav Maga teaches you how to literally kill someone in a fight, not roll around w/them. When it boils down to life or death (which I consider every fight to be & why I avoid physical confrontation like the plague) Krav Maga. It combines all of the above & adds tactics of grabbing the nearest 'weapon' (lamp, knife, fan, bottle, pole, whatever) & using it to end your opponent.

You might want to ask your six year old why karate they just might have a friend that's started. If that's true then keeping them together might be a good thing.

Krav Maga. It combines all of the above & adds tactics of grabbing the nearest 'weapon' (lamp, knife, fan, bottle, pole, whatever) & using it to end your opponent. This. There are places where I can't cc. I always have a Uniball ultra fine point pen on my person. I even get to carry it on the plane, no questions asked. Think of it as an icepick with ink.

You can carry cane anywhere. It is covered as a handicap tool under the ADA. NOBODY can prevent you from carrying your cane ANYWHERE. In America anyhow.

Some are so weak they couldn’t swing a cane hard enough or stab a person with a bic enough before the bad guy beats that a$$ into the ground.

That may be true but it can also change. You can even use a cane for offense or defense while sitting. A hard 1”’hickory stick packs a powerful punch.
It certainly beats nothing!

There was an edged weapons expert who had videos posted on here in the past. I think his name was Pekiti. Simply ignore the fact that he injured himself while filiming his videos/technique.
