Japanese children learn self-defense

I often times ask myself how old a child should be before we start to teach them physical resistance, avoidance and self-defense techniques. So far I haven't found a simple answer to that question.

Story:
Six-year-old Shino Katagiri does not start primary school until April, but her mother is already putting her into classes—on how to defend herself against violent attackers.

As an adult self-defense instructor plays the bad guy, the terrified little girl huddles into a chair and refuses to take part in the lesson her mother has brought her to.
