A consistent martial arts practice offers several benefits for all ages and experience levels. Here are nine reasons to sign up for a martial arts membership:
1. You’ll improve your fitness.
It’s a common assumption that before you start martial arts, you must already be “in good shape.” However, martial arts is for all fitness levels. No matter if you’ve been training for several years or it’s been several years since you’ve trained, you’ll fit right in. A martial arts membership will help you improve all aspects of fitness, including aerobic endurance, strength, power, agility, and coordination.
2. Martial arts is for all ages.
Martial arts is for any age; it’s not just for kids or competitive athletes. It’s never too late to get started. If you’re wondering if you might have missed some deadline to get started, don’t worry. You’re never too old to start a martial arts program.
3. You’ll find new ways to challenge yourself.
When you start something new as an adult, you might feel intimidated. Don’t let your anxiety over being a beginner stop you. Treat this opportunity as a challenge – your chance to try something new.
4. Learn self-defense in a safe and structured class.
Some people would love to try martial arts, but at the same time, they’re worried they might get hurt. Safety is our top priority. We structure our classes so that our students feel safe and comfortable learning and practicing their skills.
5. Martial arts is not really what you see in a movie.
The martial arts you may see on the big screen isn’t an accurate representation of reality. The actors and actresses might look cool, but martial arts isn’t about looking cool. It’s so much more than this. A martial arts practice is all about building strength, self-confidence, self-discipline, independence, respect, and resilience.
6. You’ll get past a workout rut or plateau.
If you do not see the results you want in your current training routine, martial arts can be a great way to mix things up. Not only will you get an awesome full-body workout, but you’ll also learn useful skills.
7. Martial arts is an activity you can come back to.
There’s a chance that you participated in martial arts when you were a child. And then you got involved in other sports or activities. Even if it’s been a few years (or decades) since your last class, it’s never too late to come back.
8. It’s a fun group activity.
In martial arts, you can have fun and be social with a supportive group that shares a similar interest. Rather than worrying about making a mistake in front of people, you can focus on learning and having fun.
9. You set your own martial arts training goals.
Your fellow students will all have different training goals. And for some, martial arts isn’t about belt ranks and competitions. It can be, or it can take more of a fitness focus. The important thing to remember is that you decide what you want to work on and set your goals accordingly.
