Can 8yr old with only one hand learn martial arts?
Children are very impressionable, and, well basically the thing that got ME into martial arts was Kung Fu movies of the 1970's which were aired on Honduran television, channel 3, every Friday night at 7 p.m. I saw titles such as "Kwu Fong; The Furious!" and "Legend of the Eagle Claw." Because your child suffers from self-esteem issues already, perhaps you could use this movie as a form of encouragement;http://www.amazon.com/Crippled-Masters-Jack-Conn/dp/B0000B1A4J/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1239233531&sr=8-1In case he or she lose interest and martial arts and would prefer sports;http://www.amazon.com/Winner-Never-Quits-Keith-Carradine/dp/6302804582The movie is about a professional one armed baseball player named Peter Grey. Not martial arts, nevertheless just qualifying for the major leagues with TWO arms, is a feat in and of itself. Word of warning there are a lot of monstrous people out there, and the world of American, actually no, even East Asian martial arts is full of sociopaths these days, and an instructor that combines both real skill with strong ethics is very hard to find. If you live in New York, I would suggest getting in touch with the New York Shaolin temple; I know Shi "The Most Handsome Monk" Ming won't turn him down just because he has one arm. No Kung Fu instructor will. However some adjustments will be needed; what will likely happen, is that they will suggest he study the Northern style of Shaolin which emphasizes kicks.If I may be so bold may I suggest Tae Kwan Do? Tae Kwan Do barely uses the arms anyway, so I see no reason why he or she shouldn't study that.
