Training for children

Hey, this is a serious question, and I know a young boy at the age of 9 who wants to train in martial arts. I was wondering, what excersizes should I do with him or for him to get him stronger and get better cardio. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey, you ttt your thread again before it gets knocked off the first page and I'll slap you with a ban so fast it'll make your impatient little head spin.

The easy answer? make sure he enjoys what he's doing, lifts with good form, and isn't forced into it. The same general rules for exercise exist for ALL humans: compound exercises, Focus on progress, keep your form good, rotate when you stagnate.

For kids, Ross Enamait's programs are the easiest cookie cutter solution for both strength and power, but you could easily put him on a program like the one in the stickies, keeping the reps 3-5 reps higher per set for a couple years.

But seriously... if you're this impatient on an internet forum, where the outcome doesn't have detrimental effects, I don't know that you should be training any 9 year old.

have him doing push-ups and sit-ups, jump squats and light weighted stuff. Ross Enamait-style training too. You don't put 9 year olds on weight lifting programs.

Care to explain the bold comment?

Lack of motivation and in some cases discipline. Safety, failure to do it with right form. Everything pretty much, besides they're still growing at that age. How many parents would be cool with you putting their child on a weight training program anyway?

Sorry bout the ttt. ALright so just focus on form and put him through a regular program? I was just making sure I wouldn't have been doing something wrong.

"Pediatricians are often asked to give advice on the safety and efficacy of strength-training programs for children and adolescents. This statement, which is a revision of a previous American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement, defines relevant terminology and provides current information on risks and benefits of strength training for children and adolescents."
