Martial arts often get a bad rap from the unfavorable impressions that they have received due to violence in movies and television. However, the truth is that there are many positive aspects of martial arts that help kids and adults become healthier and stronger.
Kids who study martial arts gain confidence, and as their skills improve, they develop a sense of power and control over their lives. They find that they stand up a little straighter, smile more and have more energy to face challenges. They know that they can protect themselves and their families, which can help them to stay calm under pressure and not respond with anger or fear.
Martial arts training also helps students develop a strong sense of self-discipline. They learn to set and stick to goals, practice regularly and stay motivated. They learn to ignore the negative voices in their head and push themselves to the limit physically. This mental toughness, which translates into real-life bravery, gives students the courage to tackle any challenge they face.
In addition to developing physical strength, martial arts training also improves balance and coordination. Students must memorize techniques and perform complex combinations of movements that require a great deal of coordination and speed. This can help them to be better at memorizing other subjects in school and can even prevent the development of debilitating conditions like dementia.
Martial arts classes are often conducted in the same way as a one-room schoolhouse, with kids of different ages and ranks practicing together. This can teach kids the value of teamwork and how to work with others in a respectful and supportive manner.
