THE BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Karate teaches people completely different ways to defend themselves by using nothing but their body. Yet all have similar health benefits, regardless of the age of those who practice them. Here are a few.


1. GAIN MUSCLE

In addition to teaching people beats and techniques, martial arts often incorporate exercises that allow them to develop muscle strength and endurance, such as repulsions (commonly known as "push-ups"), sit-ups and squatting. Having muscles with tone is not just a matter of appearance; It's handy in many situations!

2. BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE

Upright posture, better body image, a sense of pride after succeeding in a difficult maneuver: these are all positive elements that contribute to feeling good about yourself and believing in your abilities. Knowing that you have the tools to defend yourself also helps you deal with adversity in many forms.


3. INCREASE FLEXIBILITY

You don't execute acrobatic kicks overnight! Martial arts use stretching and an increasingly demanding progression of exercises. These best practices help anyone reduce the risk of injury and improve range of motion, not only in the dojo, but also on a daily basis.

4. SHARPEN YOUR CONCENTRATION

Know how to silence your thoughts and listen to the instructions of your sensei; reproduce a repetitive movement, over and over again, until you master it; Chain several strokes to form a complex and fluid whole: martial arts help people control their trivial thoughts and distractions to better focus on what they need to accomplish, here and now.

5. IMPROVE YOUR CARDIO

Punching and sparring involves many muscles at once and requires fast, explosive movements. To support this pace, the body needs a lot of oxygen. As a result, the cardiovascular system develops over time to meet the demand. As a result, we are less out of breath when it comes time to make an extra effort in our daily lives.

6. LEARNING TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS

Are martial arts violent? On the contrary: most of them advocate a quick and peaceful resolution of conflicts. It takes a lot of self-control not to hurt yourself or your training partners. Keeping your cool and not letting yourself be provoked is often the right thing to do. As a fictional wise sensei once said, "The best way to avoid a blow...is to be someplace else!"
