A. Fine Arts is more historical and theoretical. He'd be learning about art history and the techniques associated with different periods. Visual Arts is more practical. He'd be creating a lot of his own work, and studying contemporary styles that apply to the world of today, rather than history.

At what age can I start my child on learning martial arts?
Q. What is the best one to start with? Judo, Kick Boxing, Karate or another? I want my child to be able to defend herself in a street fight in case she is attacked. Just knowing one kind of traditional martial art is not effective enough during a street fight since anything goes when one is attacked. So I want my child to be able to successfully defend herself and put the attacker in the hospital for a LONG time. At what age and with what martial art form should she start? I heard the Judo is great to start with, then kick boxing and then later on Jiujutsu. I do appreciate the Traditional martial arts, but form my experience during hand to hand combat anything goes and it is best to know how to respond to various forms of fighting styles.

A. "Teresa", Your question is a bit perplexing. At first you are asking for help in determining what age is best to start a child in martial arts, as if you have no knowledge of martial arts at all. Then you go into this discertation about the effectiveness of one art against another and how you want your daughter to "put the attacker in the hospital for a LONG time." Then you say that "from your experience during hand to hand combat anything goes and it is best to know how to respond to various forms of fighting styles." I think you are putting us on. I just don't know what you're trying to prove. You don't sound like a mom.
