The paradox of combat sports/ systems whatever is that a lot of good strategies are tending to counter intuitive to some degree. People very easily confuse karate as a violent sport. It isn’t a combat fight sport which promotes violence. Rather karate is for self-defense purposes.

Parents should encourage and sign their children up and start reaping the benefits early! Self-Discipline- The modern day children are accustomed to getting what they want when they want. Martial arts teach restraint and patience. No one wants their child to spend hours and hours playing video games or sitting in front of the Television screen .Learning martial arts will help them get off their screens and sofas and encourage them to be physically active. Having a competition or tournament that the children can aim for helps teach them to set goals in life and whether they win or not it helps them to deal with either outcome which will be beneficial in later life. Martial arts teaches them to respect seniors as well as the place where they practice as they learn the arts. In this way it instills the habit of respecting o...
