What is the best age for children to learn martial arts?

It's good to start learning martial arts at the age of five.

Five-year-olds are very flexible. Wushu requires high balance, coordination and flexibility of the body, so it needs to be practiced from an early age. Because children around 5 years old have the highest learning ability, acceptance ability and plasticity. Children of four or five years old are a good age to start martial arts, because their physical ability has reached a better stage. At this time, children's learning ability is in a good state, starting with simple martial arts movements and challenging difficult movements after a certain foundation.

Wushu is a combination of endurance and strength, while China Wushu stresses both rigidity and softness, so we can't use brute force or hard force in Wushu learning, which is against the essence of Wushu. Martial arts learning is very tiring, so parents should pay attention to their children's nutritional supplements and strengthen nutrition.

Wushu learning is also a dangerous sport. If you are not careful or do something wrong, it is easy to hurt body parts, such as waist, back, ankles and so on. The coach is a professional martial arts learner, so he should obey the coach's arrangement.
