[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was an introverted socially awkward girl who did TKD at the end of high school and a bit of college, so older than 8. I would say that is was fun, good physically and helped me gain confidence, and was moderately helpful in terms of self-defense. For pure self-defense, those weekend seminars are excellent. Taking a martial art for self-defense won't really work at 8, she will just be too small. Martial arts are good for the discipline and the physical aspect (although she may already get that from her other activities), learning to use your body, and having the experience of sparring/play fighting. As PPs have said, focus more on the school and the instructor. Is the atmosphere friendly or hard-core and competitive? What would you prefer? [/quote]
