Many martial arts students report a sense of calm and a renewed connection to their lives. They also feel a reduction in stress due to the focus on breathing and the release of emotions during training sessions.
Martial artists learn the value of self-discipline and the importance of working toward goals independently rather than relying on others to push them. They also learn the concept of natural order, which teaches that progress is slow and cannot be rushed. It’s the same as with nature – summer follows spring, and one must recognize that to advance, they must accept the process of growing slowly.
In a controlled setting, martial arts help develop endurance, strength, flexibility, and mental alertness. This translates to increased confidence, and even a heightened sense of security. The discipline also builds lean muscle, burns calories, and can improve cardiovascular health.
When choosing a martial art to train in, look for a school or instructor that focuses on a style that aligns with your personal goals. Make sure the school offers a free trial class or two to see if it’s a good fit for you. It’s also a good idea to ask your instructor any questions you may have. He or she will want you to succeed. Ultimately, it’s your responsibility to stay consistent with training; the more you train, the better you will become. Remember, it takes 21 days to build a habit and only 3 to break it.
