What type of fighting training would be best to put my 15 year old son in?

Question

he got assulted I want him to be able to protect him self if it happens again

Answer 1

u can try putting him n boxing= myself i got my 6yr n boxing, self defense can also be one, but with him being 15, most guys sometimes arent as flexible, and on the real=self defense/martial arts doesnt always help, i know plenity of people who, claim to do martial arts/study fors years, and when push comes to shove, they seem to lose/forget what they learn, specially if there is more than one person on them...Running away from a fight, is just the beginning to being tormed in his life.  Not to say stand there and let him get the **** beat out of him, but if its on school property then let him know, u dont do it.  But I dont know the status of a man figure in ur life.  But as a single mom myself, I tell my son to stand up for himself, and dont back down, cuz if it has once, n he runs/dont fight back.Then it will happen again, but the chances it happen again, will be slim to now, specially if he tells the person he doesnt want to fight, but he lets whoever know he wont back down. will gain respect to anyone else, for fighting the person...n if its the same person constantly pickin on him, find out the age of other boy/situation why he was assulted/talk to authorities,but dont baby ur son, cuz people will be like he's a mommy boy=which no matter how old they are, they always are :)

Answer 2

depending on your sons size,stature,flexibility, and strength many fighting styles are fitted to "self defense". if he is smaller i would recomend jujitsu making it easier to overpower a larger opponet.remember the best way to avoid a fight is to run and only when there is no way to talk yourself out of a situation or run is when you sould fight back.fighting styles are a very serious matter and if not used properly can lead to very serious injuries or death.jujitsu is not something your son should learn if he puts himself in these situations and is definatly not something to be used in a playground fight.

Answer 3

Like to actual really fight? I would say boxing or Krav Maga.  I wouldn't really go for karate or anything like that because in a real fight that stuff wouldn't be useful, people fight dirty in real life.  Boxing could help him to learn how to punch, take a hit, and keep his stamina up.

Answer 4

Have him drop out of school and enlist in the Marines.
