[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. This is not an actual studio. They come to our school's aftercare. So this an after school run activity. He is in 2 other sports where he really thrives however he actually loves karate (he does not love the other two sports). The instructor is the only person who ever comes to teach at our school and I have a feeling that he has not been doing it for a long time. There is a lot of time spent on talking. [/quote]

I've trained at lots of different schools and taught at a few of them. Once a week is not enough for kids. They need repetition and drilling to get a lot of the stuff to stick. I would say twice a week is a minimum if you actually want to see improvement in attention and behavior, not to mention skill. Also, seek out your local karate or taekwondo school, not just this aftercare stuff. Real schools usually have a head instructor for the class and a couple of high belts who will walk around and help wrangle the kids. It sounds like your son may need someone to stick near him at the beginning and keep him from spinning out of control.

Also, it is very common for parents to enroll children who need a little extra discipline and routine. Most schools offer a free introductory class, so check them out, talk to the instructors, and see who is receptive to a child like yours. [/quote]
