Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. If you watch Hollywood movies, you must have heard these names. Their fighting skills are legendary. The action sequences they performed in their movies were breathtaking. Now, becoming a movie star can be a reason to join self-defence classes, but there are other benefits too. Let’s talk about them one by one.
To protect yourself
Duh! I can hear you say “That’s what self-defence means!”. But, hey, that’s the primary purpose of joining these classes. You may not be living in a war zone and you probably don’t need protection at all times. But, life can be unpredictable. You never know when such a skill might come in handy.
Boost your self-confidence
Let’s say you are going through a low point in your life. Nothing seems to work in your favour. And somehow, you start doing one thing well in your life. That one thing can start a chain reaction and you may end up turning your entire life around.
Joining a defence class can be that one thing. When you learn karate or any other form of martial arts, it boosts your morale. You subconsciously start telling yourself: “If I can do this karate thing, I can face other challenges in my life also”. You become more confident about your abilities. Other aspects of your life start improving automatically.
Discipline
Whether you are a kid in school or a working professional, you need to improve your work. To do this consistently, you need practice. And regular practice requires discipline. Defence classes can be your gateway to a disciplined life. The patience and the habit of regular practice you acquire from these classes can be carried into you student or professional life also.
Be Cool!
Fair warning: The purpose of martial arts is to defend oneself and not to show off. So, if you truly adhere to these principles, you will, in most cases, never get an opportunity to show your skill to your friends and peers. But, if the right opportunity arrives and you are good at what you do, you will look cool as hell in front of people.
