Thanks CHE, briskjackal5, placidbison20, and Jamie Fowler2. Honestly, my main concern was making sure he didn't get bored or overwhelmed by the complexity; I didn't want him losing interest entirely. As for TKD, I thought it was a decent option, but looking at Judo now, it seems just as viable. I’m going to let him give it a shot.
My History: I quit karate back when I was 14 because the whole thing just became tedious.

I have a serious question for the group.
My kid is five years old, and he’s developed this massive obsession with martial arts—fueled by cartoons, naturally. It's hard to tell if this is just some cartoon-induced phase or a genuine interest, but he mimics everything he sees on TV, and since he’s incredibly hyperactive, I’m thinking about enrolling him in...
well, that brings up a few concerns:
1. Is he way too young for this?
2. Which specific sport is actually appropriate for his age group?
3. Where should I look for a reputable gym?
Thanks.
