Those that take up martial arts do so for a variety of reasons, while the benefits are also many and varied. Participants include all ages and genders, ranging from the physically fit to the physically challenged.
One of the founding principles of martial arts training is to respect those with greater knowledge and experience. For children this means developing respectful relationships with parents, academic teachers and peers. the same benefits apply to adults, both in the work place and at home or of respecting yourself, your spouse, your family and the people with whom you work.
Success in the martial arts does not require athletic skills. However, through your training you will develop key characteristics to enhance your athletic skills for other sports interests. Benefits such as better hand/eye co-ordination, endurance and physical fitness can help you improve in any sport.
The martial arts not only teaches you how to cope with physical situations,but also how to avoid confrontations using proper body language. In today's world, you may never need to physically defend yourself, but the newspapers are full of people who couldn't.
Mental discipline affects your daily attitude and the decisions you make when life challenges you with new obstacles. Martial arts can teach you how to relax, focus and maintain your control when the going gets tough. Children with strong mental discipline are least likely to be susceptible to peer pressure anxieties, while adults learn to manage stress levels brought on by life's pressures.
Many parents have reported that their children have dramatically improved their school grades after they have joined martial arts. Better grades can strongly influence a child's overall success in their future career and their life. Is there a better reason to involve children in the martial arts???
