WHY KARATE OR SOME FORM OF MARTIAL ARTS?
Statistics show that more and more people are getting hurt, getting bigger, and getting lazier. In many instances these situations could
have been easily avoided. How?
Simply by accepting the fact that we are living in a violent society, by accepting that you could be in the wrong end of the stick one day, and
by accepting the fact that perhaps we do not care for each other anymore, not even ourselves!
To prevent this event from happening to you, there are many avenues for you to explore. Martial Arts training is one of them; -the total
body workout,- and this is just the beginning! Fitness and self defence are just two simple reasons why people should look at martial arts as
an avenue to well being and self preservation, rather than sitting around in front of the television, or playing console games all day.
Doing Karate is not just throwing kicks and punches. It is a way of life, and one that allow us to promote good health, a clean mind,
intellectual stimulation, and the enhancement of one's own life for the rest of our lives. Karate training activates your resolve mechanisms,
your ability to coordinate thought and motion, the way you look at things, and your own body and mind. It teaches you to become a better
person within yourself and towards your peers.
Although traditional Karate training is not for everyone (little children should play with little children), the art its still compatible with all
types of people, regardless of their age, physical shape, and/or previous martial arts training, and should be most inviting to those who for
reason or another have not been able to engage in any physical activity for a while.
Karate training is an unique source of health benefits. It is a great cardiovascular, motion-range, and muscle-toning activity, and together
with the anaerobic, proprioception (position sense), focus and coordination exercises, it could just be considered as an "all-around" sport.
Better still, a number of traditional karate styles (Goju Ryu is one) emphasises the need for the improvement of the "inner core" or the
internal side of the human body, by promoting very articulated breathing exercises which will cater for the development of strong organs,
specially your lung capacity and cardiopulmonary activity.
In our experience, we have noted over the years a number of students who came to train and were asthmatics, and whom after a period of
time either stopped taking or greatly reduced the need for Asthma related medicines. Call it what you will, the examples have been clear to
see, and have benefited these people enormously.
If all this doesn't make you think, you are looking at the wrong screen!
WOMEN'S SELF DEFENCE
Although we all know women suffer at the hands of men (and women as well), it is sad to see that women's perception of violence have not
changed with the times.
Even if FREE classical self defence classes for women were on offer, they (the classes) do not seem strike a cord with women in general, and
very few ever take the chance to improve their looks, confidence and well being.
Is the first step that hard to take? Is the hurdle that big? Or is it more like,- "I don't like to take anything on in Summer because it is too hot,
and neither in winter, because it's too cold"?
Are thugs and hoodlums going to wait for the seasons to change to assault you? Or rape doesn't occur in summer/winter? Is it the -"it could
never happen to me" syndrome perhaps?
Our Karate school is presently running CERTIFIED SELF DEFENCE courses for women of all ages. This courses are unlimited in time, and
present no shortcuts.
There's everything a woman should know about self protection, rape crisis, domestic violence etc, and the syllabus is second to none. Most
ladies would appreciate the effort that has gone into the setting up of these courses, and none would go home dissatisfied.
Why not then learn how to protect yourself, and at the same time bringing your fitness level up a couple of notches... or three? What is it
required from you? Nothing! Just turn up, that's all that we require. At the end of the Courses we have a Grading Ceremony, and everyone
gets a Competency Certificate.
MARTIAL ARTS...A BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN AEROBICS?
More and more people are looking to lose weight, get in shape and improve their appearance. Group exercise classes can range from high
impact boot camp type training to yoga, from step aerobics to water aerobics, and everything in between.
With all these options, the martial arts are often overlooked by people who are primarily concerned with fitness. What makes martial arts
training a better choice for getting in shape than a traditional exercise class?
1. Training in the martial arts is about more than just learning to fight. The physical benefits are amazing. Anyone looking to get in
shape, get healthy and improve their overall physical condition will be very happy with martial arts training.
2. Martial arts training provide a true total body workout. You improve both upper and lower body strength. You also will strengthen
your core. Developing the abs, back and chest are an important part of most martial arts, as much of the power generated in kicking and
punching techniques is generated from your core.
3. You will also develop a level of strength and fitness that is hard to achieve in other classes. Kicking and punching, stance training,
throwing and other martial arts movements are all exercises that involve almost every muscle in your body. Besides the actual muscles
involved in, for example, a punch, you also use the rest of your body for stabilization, power generation and recoil.
The result is that you get a great workout no matter what skill you are practicing on. Many beginner martial artists comment that they feel
great because they are using muscles they didn't even know they had.
4. Besides muscular development, the martial arts are an almost non stop cardio workout. A typical martial arts class is just an effective
total body interval workout. There can be periods of movements that require less effort, followed by intense bursts of effort. Considering
that most classes last anywhere between 45 minutes to 2 hours, you can get an amazing interval workout
during a martial arts class. Many experts agree that interval training is an effective method of burning fat, improving conditioning and
seeing amazing results. Plus, since you are focused on perfecting a technique and not just exercising, it is easier to keep your mind off of
feeling tired.
5. Finally, martial arts training provide other benefits that are simply not found in an exercise class. First and foremost, you learn
valuable skills that can help you defend yourself if a dangerous situation ever arose. Also, the improved confidence and self discipline can be
life changing for some people. Finally, the martial arts world can open many doors for people. The friendships you form in training can last a
lifetime. The people you meet and experiences you have are simply not available by just showing up at a gym, working out and then leaving.
Martial arts can be a method of getting shape, but it can also be something much more. It can be wonderful, memorable experience.
