So my son wanted to try out Martial Arts and because Tiger Schulmann's is the most advertised Martial Arts school around he decided he wanted to go there. He's three weeks into his trial period and he likes it a lot. I guess I never realized that T.S. is actually MMA, which apparently is a mix of Muay Thai Kickboxing and Grappling. When we decided to let him try out Martial Arts we were thinking more along the lines of Taekwondo, Karate or some other traditional Martial Art. I did a lot of searching and found, about a half an hour from our home, one of our state's only Full Instructors for Jeet Kune Do certified by the World Jeet Kune Do Federation.
My question....
Do I let him stick with Tiger Schulmann or do I go with one of the more traditional Martial Arts? I am personally leaning towards Jeet Kune Do, but just not too crazy about the hour drive to practice and back home 3 days a week. I'd really appreciate any input you guys have based on your personal experiences or those of you with children involved in Martial Arts.
