Friday, February 3, 2012 Partner Up! Often, February brings to mind pictures
5:49 am est of young lovebirds and cupid flying through the sky. Keep in mind, Valentine’s Day may be based on partnerships and St. Valentine, but there’s a lot we should recognize about the fun, heart-filled holiday. It offers an opportunity to do things with a partner, whether your partner is a child, spouse, significant other, or friend. That’s why, if you mention this article to our martial arts school, you’ll be entitled to a free trial class with no obligation when you sign up with a friend or family member. You may be aware that martial arts training is great for kids and adults. You may even know adults benefit from exercise, stress relief, self-defense, and goal setting, while kids learn disciple, goal setting, self-defense, and respect building, enhance their motor skills and flexibility, and earn better grades. Have you thought of doing martial arts with a partner? A partner doesn’t have to be in the same class, even though that may be possible. It means, at a minimum, being involved in the same activity so you both have a commonality and maybe even some common goals. Having a partner, in any activity, including martial arts will offer numerous benefits: Accountability - Having a friend or child always looking to see if you are training is a huge motivation to stick with it.Commitment and Motivation - There is nothing better than having a partner committed to the same goal as you to keep you involved and motivated. Competition and Support - As long as the competition is healthy and friendly, having friends in the same workout routine acts as a support community. This may enhance your chances of sticking with it greater than any other motivation. Variety - When working out withpartners, you have the ability to keep it fresh. Even though you will have an instructor guiding the way, you and a partner can practice together outside of classes. This is not always the case in individual exercise programs. |
