    WHAT IS MARTIALS ARTS?


    The term martial arts refers to all of the
    various systems of training for combat that
    have been arranged or systematized. Generally,
    these different systems or styles are all
    designed for one purpose: physically defeating
    opponents and defending against
    threats.
    WHAT IS MARTIALS ARTS?
    Martial arts are codified systems and traditions
    of combat practiced for a number
    of reasons such as self-defense; military and law
    enforcement applications; competition;
    physical, mental and spiritual development; and
    entertainment or the preservation of a
    nation's intangible cultural heritage.
    WHAT IS MARTIALS ARTS?
    Although the term martial art has become
    associated with the fighting arts of East Asia, it
    originally referred to the combat systems
    of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived
    from Latin and means "arts of Mars",
    the Roman god of war.
    WHAT IS MARTIALS ARTS?
    Some authors have argued that fighting arts or
    fighting systems
    would be more appropriate on the basis that many
    martial arts were never "martial" in
    the sense of being used or created by professional
    warriors.
    WHAT IS MARTIALS ARTS?
    A practitioner of martial arts
    is referred to as a martial artist. Variation and scope
    Martial arts vary widely, and may
    focus on a specific area or combination of areas, but
    they can be broadly grouped into
    focusing on strikes, grappling, or weapons training
    4 BENEFITS OF
    MARTIAL ARTS
    •Improve the Mind

    •Develop Principles

    •Train the Body

    •Develop Character
    IMPROVE THE MIND
    Practicing the martial arts takes the student
    down a path toward mental improvement. We
    grow confidence, attain mental strength, and
    develop courage, tenacity, humility, compassion
    and kindness. The student enhances their
    character, developing honor, discipline, integrity,
    a work ethic, and respect.
    IMPROVE THE MIND
    The martial arts student forms bonds with
    fellow students. Working in a team
    environment, the martial artists build
    friendships and reach their full potential
    together. Despite titles, social status, education
    or wealth, all martial artists are equal when they
    face an opponent.
    IMPROVE THE MIND
    Conquering adversities in life lays behind
    the true meaning of the martial arts. Students
    develop a type of “warrior spirit” that empowers
    them to face life’s adversities without breaking.
    Weaknesses are transformed into strengths, and
    fears turn into courage through the martial arts.
    DEVELOP PRINCIPLES

    Martial arts students embrace four guiding


    principles that enhance their daily lives. The
    principle of non-resistance, the principle of
    accommodation, the principle of balance and
    the principle of natural order give practitioners
    a definite path to follow every day of life.
    DEVELOP PRINCIPLES
    • Non-Resistance. Rather than passivity, the
    principle of non-resistance promotes working
    in harmony with nature.
    • Accommodation. The principle of
    accommodation embraces progressive
    overload, which simply means challenging
    oneself further after each accomplishment.
    DEVELOP PRINCIPLES
    • Balance. The principle of balance also lends
    to the meaning of the martial arts. The
    student moves neither too fast nor too
    slowly; is neither aggressive nor tentative.
    • Natural Order. Many natural processes have
    an order, and this is the central concept
    behind the principle of natural order.
    TRAIN THE BODY
    The martial artist’s physical body undergoes
    rigorous training as equally as his mind. The
    athleticism developed through martial arts
    training is a result of engaging the entire body
    to build incredible strength and endurance.
    Speed and flexibility are also enhanced.
    TRAIN THE BODY
    Martial arts students who commit to
    training jump higher, kick harder and punch
    faster. Hand-eye coordination improves. The
    clumsiness of the beginner student turns into
    deliberate, pointed actions in the intermediate
    and advanced students. Physical movements
    become smooth and effortless.
    DEVELOP CHARACTER
    Wisdom and patience is necessary to end
    conflict, and this is true especially for the martial
    artist. Making good decisions and consciously
    applying the appropriate techniques and
    learned skills to end conflict is a hallmark of the
    experienced martial artist. Students learn to
    think before they act.
    DEVELOP CHARACTER
    Summoning bravery in the face of fear is at
    the heart of being a martial artist. Confronting
    fear leads to confidence in the martial arts
    practitioner. Without having the need to prove
    oneself, the martial artist encourages
    acceptance and peace.
    DEVELOP CHARACTER
    Life-threatening situations are easier to
    handle for the martial artist with confidence.
    Rather than remain frozen and helpless, the
    practitioner is calm and thinks with clarity in
    order to arrive at solutions. The student with
    confidence knows he can either reduce the
    conflict or make it worse
