Need a recommendation for kid's Martial Arts classes

[greyautumnrain.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to get my two older kids (aged five and three) into martial arts classes since summer, and I was wondering if anyone has a local place that they'd recommend. I'm interested in any place in the area that is good and teaches small kids, though I do have a preference for a place that is based in Chinese traditions as my MIL is offering to pay for "Kung Fu" lessons, and she is Chinese (and old enough to have bad memories of the Japanese occupation).

I know Davis Square Martial Arts would seem to be the ideal solution, but my kids have been on their waiting list since July. They recently offered me a spot for the three year old, but it was on a day I'd told them we could not make when I signed up for the waiting list. I have become frustrated, so I'm asking what other options in the area people might recommend.

I studied at JH Kim Tae Kwon Do for a number of years (I was at the Boston school, but they have a Porter Square location as well). I encourage you to check them out- they have a great kids program, though the 3 year old might be a bit young.

I've been studyingTai Chi at Wu Dao Kung Fu and Tai Chi in Cambridge (Fresh Pond). They have an active Kung Fu program for kids through teens.
