I certainly wouldn't recommend martial arts unless he was into it, having gotten more than an ear full from fellow martial arts instructors who are expected to help kids with behavior issues without training and without support. (Mostly younger kids, and the without support doesn't apply in this case, but an older kids who doesn't want to be there would be no picnic.)

Anyhow, the Seattle area teacher I'd most recommend for it is in West Seattle anyway... though MAPI might be worth checking out...

Hm. Mostly folks get their kids interest via the cool. And there is no shortage of options. Circle is chock full of circus classes, for instance, beside pretty much other physical discipline you could (but might not want to) shake a stick at.

Heh. Though I suppose if you wanted a stick to go along with the carrot, you can tell him you've been thinking of taking up ballroom dancing, and need to bring him along as a partner.
