The Jack Dempsey method nice one. He always believed that focussing on getting dynamite in your punches is the place to start.
Pete, have you also considered turning it into a bonding experience with dad?
My niece told me she wanted me to teach her karate, so I teach her my "stuff." It's a mix of boxing, muay thai, the Shen Tiegen method and the Steve Morris method.
A few times a week I train her for about 20 minutes and teach her the fundamentals on a kitty bag, the mitts and some body method exercises. Basically I show her everything I wish someone would have shown me 10 years ago. It cuts into my training but she's 5 so after 20 minutes she's had enough. If she ever gets in a fight she's going to be a killer.
I think she wants to know how to take out bullies, but more than that I think it's also that she wants to spend some time with her crazy uncle.
It's a good time.
