Martial arts can increase one’s self-confidence, thus reducing one’s vulnerability.
- Through martial arts, students acquire greater confidence, self-esteem, respect, teamwork, discipline, concentration, and the ability to look after themselves.
- Martial arts involves slow and controlled movements, which allow children to grow a strong awareness of their bodies and what their capabilities are. If a child knows their body well, they begin to grow a sense of who they truly are and what they are capable of doing.
- The capabilities to defend one’s self can also make one feel less vulnerable against bullies.
- Since fighting is prohibited outside of the dojo, students are left with what they have psychologically gained from their training to handle tough situations.
- Not only does martial arts improve your physical being, but all your character as well. Students are taught to be obedient to their masters as a means of discipline. Martial arts provide students with techniques to show someone that they have confidence through body language.
