Benefits of karate go well beyond physical self defense skills:
๐Build Confidence
โบ๏ธLower Anxiety
๐ฅDevelop Focus
โก๏ธBurn Energy
๐ชDevelop Strength and Flexibility
Going to take a moment to dive a little deeper into the benefits that I hear my students list and see if any of these reasons or benefits resonate with you:
โ
Itโs fun to hit things
โ
You get to hang out with your dojo buddies, who also like to hit things
โ
We learn how to stay calm when someone hits us too hard accidentally, and itโs easier to learn because we know they will stay calm when we mess up (emotional regulation skills are a huge aspect of the mental side of martial arts)
โ
Way more fun than going to a gym - your body weight exercises sometimes involves carrying or throwing people, which is almost as fun as hitting them
โ
Knowing how to control your strikes, learning and developing physical control and body awareness will give you confidence that you carry with you outside of the dojo
Martial arts is fun! Thereโs self defense, weapon training, sparring, grappling, padded sword fighting, being speedy or flexible, having strong kata (empty hand forms), and the act of continuing to show up and demonstrate perseverance; all of these things build good character.
