[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than focus on the sport, focus on the actual Master and studio/dojang.
Find a good studio in any martial arts, and that will help with all the things you are looking for. 
Find a bad studio in any martial arts, and you'll just be wasting your money and your daughter won't grow.

For what it's worth, both my kids are in tae kwon do and it's been a wonderful experience for them. [/quote]

I agree - we looked at multiple studios for my DD.  We ended up finding a place that had the right mix of what we were looking for and a decent boy:girl ratio. I knew the original studio wasn't right when all I saw were boys - while DD isn't an overly girly-girl, she doesn't want to be the only girl.  Plus, [b]while MMA is nice, let's be honest, unless your kid stays through black belt, it's about learning the tenets[/b].[/quote]

I disagree.  MMA provides useful self defense skills pretty quickly.  A black belt equivalent in MMA would be ready to fight other trained fighters.  A year of consistent training would be enough to improve skills / responses noticeably.[/quote]
