1. My advice is...

Let the kid try boxing. They should wear head gear and big gloves (you can make sure), so injury shouldn't be a problem. Don't discourage your kid. At least he's willing to try different sports. If there is a good Ju Jitsu or Krav Maga school around, ask him if he'd like to try them too. Boxing will involve a lot of physical conditioning (running, bag work and yes - sparring). Boxing will help him learn how to protect himself, even more so than karate.
