Best Answer

At that young age, the focus of any martial art (and any reputable teacher) should be on fitness, self-confidence and staying safe, rather than focusing on how best to fight.

That being said, at age six the coordination of the upper body is still well ahead of the lower half. I would recommend a style that plays to that strength, such as kenpo or shotokan karate. But if the child has good balance and is so inclined, a leg-based style like Taekwondo isn't a bad alternative.

What I would stay away from, until the child is both stronger and more developed, are grappling arts such as judo and jiu-jitsu. They have a greater potential for both head injury and joint injuries, both of which would be detrimental to a growing child's physical development.
