Hi everyone! So, my niece is alsmost 6 years old and is very energetic and generaly active as a child. Her parents are thinking of sending her to either Karate or Tae Kwon Do, both for physical and spiritual exercise and development. Which one do you think could fit better for her age and also considering she likes it which is better in the long term?

Edit: Thank you all for you recommendations! We decided to visit few dojos and speak with the instructors and let her decide. Most probably will be TKD since few videos we've watched she found the kicks impressive loll. 🤪
