5 Reasons Why You Should Learn Martial Arts in 2018
Generally, Martial artists are seen and perceived as calm, gentle, friendly, cooperative, and have a great body (Naks).
And I tell you, it's great to have a Martial Artist friend, you feel safe most of the time specially when they are around.
So, why these practitioners are so intimate with their art? Even if it's Juijitsu, Muay Thai, Aikido, Judo, Boxing, Kung-fu, Karate, and the likes. From my perspective, it's all the great benefits they get from it. Let's name some of these and maybe you could also find something for yourself. PHYSICAL SIDE EFFECTS
Having a great body (naks!) is one of the great physical side effects of getting into Martial Arts, aside from being strong, flexible, active, and explosive. Dahil madalas ka sa training, your body could burn a lot of excess calories and you can feel it just right after your training. Your body learns new instincts specially in times of physical threat or conflict and this results in the next benefit of Martial Arts. Martial arts uses small-scale violence para masanay ang katawan mo for additional defensive instincts aside from flight strategy. Your body learns how to fight scientifically - knows the physics of fighting.
BOOSTS SELF-CONFIDENCE
Confidence starts to build up from small consistent winnings and progress. Meaning, if you do something everyday and make it a habit and achieve small goals one at a time and you make good progress, it can boost your self-confidence, then little by little you could handle small physical conflicts by means of a cooperative opponent. Since you are training your body how to handle physical conflicts, your mind learns how to think clearly in times of stressful situation.
IMPROVES YOUR MENTAL ABILITY
Once the mind has learned how to handle conflicts, it becomes better at giving you good decisions specially at difficult times. The mind will also be aware that at times when good words or gentleness fail and escape strategy can't avoid the threat of conflict, you know that you can handle the situation in your favor and it's much of a problem to your opponent than yours. Alam ng isip mo na madami kang options to handle conflicts and you will come up with a good strategy and act quickly.
IMMUNIZED AGAINST FEAR OF VIOLENCE
Martial Arts uses small-scale violence to teach its practitioners to face the fear of violence or conflict. In this way you have total control of your fear. If we can control our fear, we could enjoy better and live in peace. Hindi ka basta basta natatakot kapag may nagsuntukan sa tabi mo and you knew exactly what to do to protect yourself.
MARTIAL ARTS COULD BE USED FOR SOMETHING, NOTHING, OR ANYTHING
It's all up to you where your desire takes you. It can give us what we have the courage to desire. Pwede mo gamitin ang principles ng martial arts skills sa trabaho, sa bahay, sa school. Kahit saan or kahit wala lang.
You should learn how to handle this art correctly like a knife. Grip it in the handle and not on its blade. Gamitin sa ikabubuti ng buhay at ng iba, defend and protect, and not to be a threat.
