Benefits Of Practicing The Art Of Karate

By Ruthie Livingston


Any form of exercise is beneficial to the human body. There are varieties of activities that people can involve themselves in. A couple of people in city Portland OR have opted to take up karate. This is an art that basically involves unarmed combat. All the moves that one is taught in class aids in general body fitness. Thus preventing blood pressure issues and improving circulation.

The thought of going to the doctor is not pleasant to many. Therefore it is very exciting to get involved in something that will help lessen those visits. The art has much to do with flexibility. When a student masters this during moves, they are well on their way already. Being flexible can help prevent major injury during accidents.

Every single muscle is put to use. Those who do not know how to do this are obviously coached into it. This means that an individual will be able to achieve fitness from head to toe. Numerous skills can be attained at the same time. Examples include body balance. Coordination is also necessary to be able to carry out the different moves that are involved here.

Working out does more for a person than they can imagine. It helps work on our minds too. Yes, the mind is also engaged as individuals take part in vigorous activities. This is through the mind-body coordination of things. After which people are often tired and ready to relax. Anything that is stress related is forgotten during this time.

A students are able to build their confidence and self-esteem given that they set targets. The students put this on mind and do whatever it takes to achieve the goals and earn a promotion to the next belt. This can be summarized as the formula to successful life. When a student begins practicing the art, he or she focuses on attaining the ultimate black belt. He/ she then splits the long term goal into various short term goals (the other color belts before the black belt).

Progress is measured with the ranking system of the belts. Once done with each belt test, the student gets feedback from examiners and gets to learn on his strong and weak points. Each belt acts as an award for a short term goal, this frees up the mind and opens new horizons for completion of a next target. At this moment a student realizes on how he can manage to succeed given the challenging odds.

This is not a class that just teaches the skill. There is more to that. It is about respect and courtesy. The students are informed of the importance of showing respect to their instructors and also to other students. Discipline is also at the fore front of this. There should not be excessive talking as the session goes on. This kind of behavior is not tolerated.

In many sports, you can either win or lose. This martial art is different, there is no losing or letting the down the team. Given this, students are able to develop at their own pace. As the students do progress and get better, fitter, more skilled and stronger, as time goes by, their self-confidence also grow.
