Martial Arts Try it! Father’s Day is here and what better activity
to do with your children than martial arts! Think about it — not only will you have a chance to participate with your
children in an activity they enjoy, but chances are you’ll love it too. Think of all the benefits martial arts training
offers adults. First, it’s a great form of
exercise, but don’t forget all the other physical benefits of martial arts training, including self-defense, losing
weight, and looking better. Yes, they are two different things. Exercise is great to lose weight, but looking good and getting
in shape are actually two different benefits. In martial arts, you’ll do both. Also, the benefit of simple stretching shouldn’t be overlooked, especially if you’re
inactive. Flexibility through regular stretching can help prevent injuries, but the benefits don’t end on the physical
side of things. There are great mental benefits
as well. Stress relief is among the top mental benefits. Nothing can relieve stress like good, fun exercise and the fact that
you’re punching and kicking a bag doesn’t hurt either. Of course, martial arts is a fun activity in a social environment. If you want to say, “I work out
at the gym,” don’t worry. Many of our adult members use our school as a great way to cross train and keep their
workouts exciting.All of this said, the main reason
you may want to train is to have more in common with your children, but the above reasons are just a few of the additional
benefits. Kang’s Black Belt Academy has great family programs and you can try a free trial class
to see if this is a family activity that interests you. Don’t let your size, shape, or fitness level stop you from trying
a class. Use this newsletter as an invitation to kick start the summer. It would be an honor if you kick start it with us!
