Ask about the age brackets before enrolling. Most schools split kids into groups like 4-6, 7-9, and 10-13 with separate curricula and class pace, so a bracket matched to your child's age and attention span matters more than the style itself.

Many schools accept kids as young as 4 or 5 in a "little dragons" or similar intro program, though most structured belt curricula start around age 6-7. The right age depends more on whether the child can follow instructions in a group setting than on any strict cutoff.

How much do kids martial arts classes cost?
