Ah! Martial Arts! When you see Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee perform those
stunts don’t you feel like doing them yourselves? I do. It is always good to
learn martial arts. They are great for self defense as well as good for the
body.
Through regular and systematic practice, your strength, both physical and
spiritual, increases. Your fitness improves, your body becomes stronger and
more flexible. These days, when life has become more sedentary, practicing
martial arts helps you maintain your body and keep it free of diseases and
weaknesses.
The term martial arts come from the god Mars who was the Roman god for
warfare. Martial art forms were primarily developed for self defense and in
case of some cultures such as Hinduism and Shinto’s, as means for spiritual
advancement.
The spiritual considerations still prevail today, as do safety
considerations since it is always an asset to have some means of self defense
in your pocket.
There are many different types of martial art forms such as Taekwondo and
Savate which use kicking, boxing and Wing Chun which use punching, karate
which use other forms of strikes, Sambo and Jujitsu which use grappling
techniques such as throwing,
Judo and Wrestling which have pinning techniques, Eskrima, Kendo and
Fencing which use weaponry etc. You can choose your martial art form depending
on your requirements as well as your body’s strength and stamina. Except for
boxing and fencing, most other martial art forms are western.
For practicing martial arts you need accessories such as uniforms, weapons
such as dagger, Kirpan or push dagger, belts or sashes to show rank and bags
for storing as well carrying these items. The type of accessories depends on
the type of martial arts you practice such as Kung fu, Judo, Karate or
