Not sure how popular Ju-Jitsu is but my eldest has been doing Karate for just over 2 years and it's transformed him. Aside from the obvious self defence and fitness benefits of regular physical training, it's made him far more self confident and he now acts as a Sempai for the lower and equivalent grades.
I'd recommend martial arts to parents who feel their children would benefit but it's vital to find the right instructor/club - some seem to be run very commercially, almost as money making after school child minding clubs whereas others treat the whole thing with the seriousness and professionalism it deserves. Our club takes children from the age of 6 and amongst the younger ones I'd guess the mix is about 20% girls and 80% boys.
