Hi
I'm not sure about this as my 6 yr old dd is hardly ever without a stick
or some such weapon in hand. She's so tough and is always talking about
fighting. I have thought about some kind of martial art for her as she
adores 1970's chinese/hongkong kungfu movies.
She's not much of a joiner-iner though, we tried Rainbows and a dance class
and she just ran around and did her own thing or hid in a corner. She wanted
to go but didn't want to do 'it' if you see what I mean.

My 3 also plays a lot of sword games what have you...

I was, when younger in my parenting, opposed to gun play...and it still bugs
me a bit to see some of the games my kids play on the computer, but play
they do...

Esther, when she was 2 use to like to watch Xena.... Now she doesn't like
the violent shows as much...

be well,
Rachel Ann
