My aim to put together a program for 6-11 year olds. I have found that most parents don't want kids that young to learn real fighting. I know there are plenty of parents who would want their kids to learn how to fight, but the majority want their kids to have fun and learn "life skills."

I want to put together something that does that. Something similar to a P.E. Program in school, but it's vehicle is the martial arts instead of baseball, or etc.

I want it to be something that focuses more on discipline, good social behavior, and having fun, than the minority of people who want their kids to strap on a pair of gloves and learn to really fight.

I may have used the wrong term when selecting McDojo. I don't have much experience with anything outside of fight training. The martial arts moves that they learn would ofcourse be authentic stuff from Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, Arnis, Boxing, Boxe-Francais Savate, Pentjack Silat, Wing Chun, and BJJ, but they wouldn't train like fighters to use it. The martial art stuff would be mixed in with eye-hand coordination drills, and body awareness drills, aswell as social/moral lessons.

Fighting is a big turn off for most people when it comes to their 6 year old. What I am looking for is a ratio of real fight training to physical/social education that would attract the largest number of people.
