Why your children should start learning martial arts


Being a martial arts instructor I know the joy children have whilst learning martial arts. But there are many more reasons why kids should learn #martialarts. 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 others in them.
  • Increased mental alertness- Martial arts is more about executing the commands given by the instructors and complete the move correctly.This exercise activates the subconscious mind and increases the level of mental alertness.
  • Increased confidence and self esteem - As they start mastering their skills they become more confident. Going up in their ranks gives them a sense of achievement and boosts self esteem .
"One of the greatest gifts of martial arts is that they ultimately guide us to new levels of spirituality"- Joseph Cardillo

Try to take most of the food in breakfast ,a light dinner( try avoiding much rice made stuffs in lunch),and have a very light dinner.(trust me!!! I didn’t eat anything made outside my home & my mumma took special care of my diet during my preparation time.Sometimes it was monotonous and fustrating but at the end it was all worth.) Take power naps (it is a short sleep taken during the working day in order to restore one’s mental alertness).These power naps are very helpful in improving health issues also like blood pressure,stress etc. Adding some science into it.You must have have experienced that sometimes when you get up then also you are not satisfied with it.Also it must have happened that y...

Making out maximum output of every hour in your day

Seems like you already have that spark of motivation in you to excel in JEE.Let me help you keep that spark alive. Following are some of the hacks(my language if you have read any of my previous blogs) that will definitely help you to bring out the best of you everyday. First of all don’t target any rank or marks,rather try to improve upon your capabilities everyday. Now science is a proof that those people who study late night have a higher IQ than others.Sharing my own experience,what I did for this was that whenever I was at home in the afternoon then I used to sleep for sometime and then at night I used to study extra time ,4 times of what I slept in the afternoon.(Ex-I slept 1 hour then i used to study till 4 am and then again wake up at 8:30.) Try to take naps at those times when you can’t do anything productive eg-while travelling like in my case I used to sleep a lot while traveling in metro. Everyone does hardwork but those who do consistent hardwork are able to ma...
