Martial art, a relaxing yet aggressive sport, can bring a great advantage in ones life, but what is the meaning of martial art, why do people practice this sport. In Forrest E. Morgan and Maj Usaf’s book called “Living The martial Way”, in a section of the book they ask the same question, why practice the martial art way today, “ In America, many students turn to the martial arts to learn how to defend themselves from the bully’s at school or work, or to feel more confident while out at night. Others belong to karate or judo clubs and follow the tournament circuit collecting as many trophies as their talents can win. Why would these individuals what to learn seemingly complex philosophical concepts or constrain themselves with ethical notions from past warrior societies?”(P 10). The answer is simple, they want to live in the martial art way, to sharpen ones experience to defend himself or to succeed in competitions, most importantly the martial way is a way of living, their methods are in the pursuit of excellence, not only in the training that is being done, but also at life. Just like any other sport, martial art can improve you physical body, but most importantly it can improve you spirit and your mind, but just like any sport it takes time before you notice an improvement, you cannot expect to climb a mountain in one giant step, step by step you will climb and it might take some time but the feeling of accomplishment, just like receiving a perfect score on a test, will come to you after you have arrived at your destination. Some people have harder destination to achieve because of a mental or physical disability, having something like that is like running to up to the mountain and yet you always end-up rolling back down but yet they never seem to want to give up. Self-confidence, determination, concentration and self-esteem are all psychological benefits that martial art can help improve.
