My son has shown interest in martial arts, too but I think he's got the wrong impression. I think he wants to use it to finally chop me in two! He's already a pretty tough adversary. I can't fathom actually paying to teach him how to finish me off! Seriously, though I may consider it. Right now he's got one or two other extracurricular activities and I want him to follow through with first before making more commitments..and spending more of my money.
