I know this must have been discussed in various shapes and forms, but I still want to ask for advice.
- Which is effective to fend off school bullies yet does not get your kid into trouble (i.e. excessive force or injuring other kids severely)
- What is the appropriate age to start training without interfering children's physical development (I know some Kung Fu stance work is not good for childen's leg)
Thank you in advance!

I would go for Judo - kids just love to wrestle and school yard fights usually end up on the ground (yes I know shades of Gracie).
I know some great Aikido kids classes but really they must modify the curriculum, Karate, if the instructor knows what they are doing vis a vis joint damage are pretty good but really, pretty much like Aikido, wont do very much for the school yard.
Did I mention I would go for Judo.
