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. However, in the context of a martial arts class, self-defence usually means learning how to physically disable a potential attacker. 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.
