Martial Art A Way To A Better Life
Most people think that martial arts is all about kicking, punching and screaming really loud. Then those people will usually perform the stereotypically karate pose, the crane stance. But martial arts is not all about kicking, punching, screaming really loud, making unusual sounds or beating people up. Instead martial arts focuses on the well-being of people. Martial arts can be broken up into five very important terms; discipline, respect, confidence, self-esteem and belief. “It teaches you so many things patience, discipline, anger management, responsibility, self-control.” (Edythe Abduallah, president of FCCJ’s downtown campus, source 8, page 1, paragraph 6,) Those five terms can also be called life skills and those life skills are what make up martial arts. Martial arts can help anyone to obtain more discipline to ensure them that they have structure in their lives, create good habits to carry with them forever and do things the first time told. “Discipline is a huge part of it. You have to learn to take constructive criticism and do what you are told.” (Anniston Snider, source 9, page 2, paragraph 15.) To have more respect for yourself and others. Gain the confidence, enough to speak in front of a group or people and lead a group. Self-esteem is the joy of being you, always finding the positive things in life and staying happy. And belief, if you don’t believe in yourself no one will believe in you. You can never reach your goals in life if you don’t have the yes I can attitude. Overall martial arts helps you become a stronger person physically and mentally because martial arts uses life skills as a vehicles to teach martial arts to help you become a more well-rounded person. “Karate is a great tool to help in personal development.” (Edythe Abduallah, president of FCCJ’s downtown campus, source 8, page 1, paragraph 6.)
