My 6 yr old son has watched far too many transformers cartoons and is forever doing (for want of a better description) martial arts type moves. Often pretending to hit people. Not in any viscious way, but he lacks context when such moves are appropriate.

He's not a particularly tough kid, but at the same time sinces he's interested in the moves (and actually is pretty agile) I wondered about taking him to some classes, mostly to learn discipline around the use of the skills and also to give him a focus.

I know very little, but what type would be a good place for him to start with? I can see judo, taekwondo, and others are taught around us.

Thanks all. What of the other disciplines? Does it make much difference, if key focuses are strength, confidence, discipline, etc.?
