I would also recommend Judo along with Aikido. However, I would be hesitant to recommend wrestling and Brazilian Jujitsu because of the predominate focus on ground-fighting. If it is a one-on-one scenario then either of those arts is fine, but in today's world it seems more likely that you are going to be assailed by a group of miscreants instead of going mano-y-mano...

I don't know about you guys, but I don't like getting kicked in the head when I have someone's buddy in a choke-hold.

Just my .02

Regardless of what you enroll them in, martial arts is an incredible developmental tool for children.

doing jujitsu in a fight gets your ass kicked or worse.


perfect example, the "guard postion" ( which is also used in judo)    you do that in a fight, you are dead.  They pick you up, and slam you against the ground.  They don't do it in MMA as its illegal. 


Most martial arts, work well in the dojo, but not on the street.  Aikido is the perfect example of this.

See, this is what happens every time. Someone who doesn't KNOW makes a claim. If Aikido didn't work well on the street it wouldn't be used by American, British and Japanese law-enforcement.

The best advice I can give you is to go visit a few dojos and see what you like.

I am going to refrain from getting into a fight on the internet with TAB over this, so that would be the best solution...

trust me there is a big diffrence between whats tuaght  to LEs and whats done in the dojo.



the hall mark of a good "martial artist",  is not getting cuaght up in one style or form, but taking "what works" from another martial art and combining it with what you already know.

Most combative training for the miltary, leos... etc is just that.

That's TAB's trademark, he makes sweeping statements and never uses any facts to back them up.

That depends on what dojo you go to. If you go to a Qi Aikido school, maybe so. But, if you go to a Yoshinkan, Aikibudo, or Serbian Aikido school then definitely not...

If you don't believe me, check out this history of Yoshinkan Aikido on Youtube:

There are basicly 3 forms to all martial arts,  it does not matter what it martial art it is.

1 traditional.  in a nut shell whats been done for XXXX period of time.

2 Competative.  What works well in comp under a set of rules

3 progressive.  a combo of one and two, some times with a real world exp, but general not.


Most dojos teach either 1 or 2.  some teach 3, very few teach 3+ real world exp.

You need to find a Dojo where a mind set is first and form second. If the mind is weak there is nothing that can be done by the body. Many Dojo's are belt factories, and some the instructors are school yard bullies behind a black belt persona. My Dojo teaches without the use of belts. It comes done to skill and the test put in front of you. Judo is not based on how big you are but how sharp you mind and body are.

Guys
We are talking about a seven year old girl, not a navy SEAL. The purpose of the excersise is to teach her to be comfortable with her body, give her self confidence and self discipline, and help her improve her stenghth, coordination and balance. Anything will do, as long as the instructor is good. Given that she probably weighs seventy pounds soaking wet, I'm not sure wrestling or Judo are the way to go, but if she's working with kids her own size its all good. If she likes it, she can switch to something more hard core when she grows into at 14 or 15.
