Benefits of Martial Arts Training (page 1 of 2)
Introduction
We believe that martial arts training can offer one of the broadest ranges of benefits of any physical activity.
The primary gains for adults are listed below. Benefits to children can be slightly different, for example improving mental concentration, discipline, respect and attention span.
Self defence
Arguably 'self defence' could be said to be more about using your head than your physical body. For example avoiding certain areas of town at certain times of the day could be far more useful than spending years developing the perfect strangle hold.
However, in the context of a typical martial arts class, self-defence usually means learning how to physically disable a potential attacker. It follows that in effect, many martial arts techniques must actually be attacks. In our classes an example of this would include developing the ability to deliver powerful strikes and combining this with knowledge of where to direct these strikes.
Improved fitness
There are several factors of physical fitness including Stamina (cardiovascular and muscular endurance), Suppleness, Strength and Skill (motor fitness). Our Martial Arts classes pretty much cover all of these to some degree.
