WHY ARE MARTIAL ARTS (TAEKWONDO & HAPKIDO) SO POPULAR?
Martial Arts have endured for centuries and are experiencing extremely rapid growth because they offer a multitude of benefits that can be enjoyed by all people regardless of age, gender, or culture. Today, Martial Arts are being taught and practiced all over the world.
Through martial arts one can develop proficiency in self-defense in a relatively short period of time. The art of self-defense has been scientifically calculated for maximum efficiency of motion, and therefore, proven to be highly effective for self-defense. With sufficient practice, the entire body of the practitioner becomes a weapon. When this level is achieved, quick reaction becomes second nature and a true sense of self-confidence is attained.
MARTIAL ARTS (TAEKWONDO & HAPKIDO) - THE ULTIMATE FITNESS
However, many, if not most, people practice martial arts primarily because they are the most complete form of exercises. Martial Arts promote the strength and coordination of the whole body, as well as providing maximum aerobic fitness and flexibility. As one article in the New York Times stated, "In 1 hour and 15 minutes of martial arts class you will get the equivalent of 45 minutes of aerobics, 45 minutes of calisthenics and the stretch of 45 minutes of Yoga, plus the most effective means of self-defense.
FITNESS OF MIND AS WELL AS BODY
The tremendous physical training is only part of the ultimate goal of Martial Arts training. The true focus is the harnessing of human potential, the power each of us possesses, but rarely ever taps. If martial arts are to be called an art of self-defense, then their goal is best described in this manner: The best self-defense is that of a serene, confident and disciplined person, at peace with himself and the world around him. This type of personal development emphasizes, but is not limited to, the development of mental focus, emotional self-restraint, and a philosophy of kindness, humility, and strong moral character. One who has mastered martial arts is a powerful yet gentle individual. "Knowledge in the brain, honesty in the heart, and strength in the body" is a motto that martial artists around the world share. Martial arts' quest is to spread their logic, goodness, and philosophy for the cause of peace.
