1. Movies: The karate Kid, Fearless, Enter the dragon, Never back down

   Items: You might want to make sure that it's allright with his parents first, but A bokken would be a good one (a bokken is a katana made of bambo so the person doesn't hurt themselvels, a bow staff would be good, maybe nunchucks

   Books: Tao of Jeet kune do by bruce lee, and the book of five rings by miyamoto musashi.

3. Try getting him a book. Like the art of war, hagakure, book of five rings, bubishi, one of bruce lee's books.

   Try a movie as previously mentioned.

   Maybe a ticket to a weekend seminar…. they are quite fun.

   I cannot agree more with Katana on the whole weapon idea.

4. What art? I know Ninjitsu and if I could have anything Ninjitsu related it would be like a Ninjato, Nunchaku, Shurikens, stuff like that, but my parents would never do that. They'd think I would go kill somebody.

5. DO NOT GET HIM ANY SORT OF WEAPON, ESPECIALLY ANYTHING SHARP OR NUNCHUCKS, unless you want to be responsible for him hurting himself. I swear the irrisponsible ignorent answers on here.

   Weapons need to be learned under a qualified instructor, period. Why don't we give monkeys loaded guns? Because commen sense says it's not a good idea.

   If the kid likes to read, a good book is always an option. I do not know how old the child in question is, so it's really hard to say. Just make sure the book is age appropriate.

   Movies are also a good bet, again keeping the childs age in mind.

   It is really hard to say without knowing the age of the child.

9. you could get him some martial arts memorobilia like a black t shirt that says "my belt in karate matches my shirt"

   but if it were me I'd prefer something that isn't martial arts related. I get everything I want from karate during my sessions.
   Being an avid music fan, music software or rare CD's wouldn't go amiss. But thats just me.
