How old is the average child to practice martial arts? Is it appropriate to start practicing at the age of 3?

1 year-old, there has never been a highly unified and socially recognized specific standard for learning Wushu. Generally speaking, learning martial arts at the age of 5-8 is more conducive to children's future development. Teenagers have been able to effectively remember interesting things in life and make them proud, and they can also listen to some truths, which is quite plastic. At this stage, they mainly focus on cultivating interests and good living habits, training and learning, as well as work and rest, and cultivate their minds through habits and practice of solid basic skills. However, at this stage, teenagers' bones are not fully developed and their minds are developing. Excessive intensity training and systematic antagonistic training are not good for your health.

2. It is generally believed that learning Wushu from 15- 16 is still suitable for basic skills and flexibility, and confrontational training can be reasonably tolerated because of the basic development of bones. In terms of thinking, children at this stage have a certain cultural background, and they begin to accept the truth and easily understand boxing, mechanics and laws. If you have a foundation for learning Wushu from an early age, it is more appropriate to start systematic confrontation training at this stage. However, if you start to learn martial arts at this stage, the boring and repetitive flexibility and basic skills training will be a test for the active characteristics of adolescence. If you're not interested, it's hard to lose your temper and persevere patiently.

3. Traditional Wushu attaches great importance to understanding, and its feelings and thoughts can help others enlighten, but they cannot replace and directly help. It is best to guide and encourage children to learn martial arts. If they are not interested, they will only learn some action demonstrations similar to gymnastics, and they will also feel disgusted.
