Son makin me proud

So..my son is on the aspergers spectrum and came to me about protecting himself..i got carried away and scared h I'll m with take down, kicks to head , throwing people....

My question. What style do y'all think would be good. Id love to see him take krav maga...something ive always wanted to take...i scared him with the violence but its reality...i just wany him to be able to protect himself.

I guess hes starting high school and i want him to feel secure. He came to me..i sacred the crap out of him now im back tracking..thoughts.....

What about jiujitsu? The grappling techniques should prove useful but would not really involve striking per se.

BJJ and boxing. MUay Thai is better than boxing but takes far longer to become proficient at.

being able to control a dude on the ground is important but also being able to throw punches is too.

That's awesome Zoot! Def get him into something. Krav Maga is pretty big in our area. Anything you get him in will be so good for him

AWESOME ZOOT!! ONE DAY HE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE POP!! BUT NEVER LET HIM KNOW HES ABLE TO!! :)

Very cool. I think a style has to be suited for the individuals strengths and body type. That being said a person can adapt to a style but it might not be as effective. I think Krav Maga is a great system. Short fast strikes and kicks that can be adapted by just about any body type. One thing to remember is that about 90% of all fight go to the ground att some point so a person would be wise to have some basic grappling skills. No matter what he picks I think the martial arts is a great thing.
