It is no secret that learning a martial art can offer a lot of value to a person. Regardless of the martial art you decide to learn and practice, you are going to experience a number of different benefits, both physical and unseen. These range from being able to defend yourself to building up your mental strength and endurance. Although most martial arts share similar benefits overall, these benefits may vary because of the different approaches, techniques, and philosophies between them.
Each one has a unique set of characteristics, and making the most of any specific martial art comes down to which one best suits the student. In this article, we are going to discuss what benefits Taekwondo can provide you, and what makes the benefits of this Korean martial art unique when compared to other martial arts.

At first, you might find yourself trying to catch your breath after just a few moves or a few minutes of sparring practice, but this feeling will reduce with enough practice over time. They say that part of getting what you want comes from having a positive attitude, and a positive outlook about yourself. When it comes to Taekwondo, this also holds true.
Yes, they are a big part of Taekwondo we even wrote a whole article about it here , and performing these moves frequently and properly builds flexibility. Greater flexibility is somewhat unique to Taekwondo, as some martial arts are more focused on strength or endurance. In Taekwondo though, flexibility is just as important. Martial arts, including Taekwondo, is first and foremost a practice of building discipline. Whether you are learning a move for the first time, sparring with a classmate, or even in a self-defence situation, a high degree of concentration is going to be required to get through.
A lot of people who go through numerous years of Taekwondo are often surprised when they reflect on the amount of focus they can quickly reach when compared to when they first started learning. Have you ever experienced that feeling where time almost feels slower around you? That feeling where you are able to quickly handle something that would normally be too fast for you to handle is something you can actually train yourself to control and use.
This is common in many martial arts and competitive sports, but Taekwondo provides another method to reach that level of reflexes.
Being able to react and overcome different opponents when sparring, for example, is an excellent case of proper stress management taking place. Practicing Taekwondo helps the student overcome the different mental stresses that are created and observed in both everyday life and during training sessions. Stress management and stress reduction results from the student overcoming and directly challenging fears, from practiced mental focus, and from understanding the sources of stress and how they impact us.

Response from a Three Year Student. Why study the Martial Arts? I can't imagine why not! It's great exercise, I'm more coordinated, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and many comment that I look younger. My pulse rate has dropped 20 beats per minute, I'm more energetic and calm.
I've gained the self-confidence to know I can overcome anything. Grandmaster Rho has helped me gain all this, and much more. He has given me the ability to stand strong in the face of any situation by the development of a positive mental attitude. Classes for Children. We specialize in teaching children starting at age 4. Our intention is to make children feel good about themselves, and be in physical and mental control.
Our teaching methods are sensitively tailored to meet the needs of individual learning differences. All children are taught at their own pace and are never pressured to perform beyond their capabilities. In some cases, our school may provide child therapy. For example, from the self-confidence gained learning how to defend themselves, a shy, withdrawn child may become more outgoing and confident, while an aggressive child will become calm and respectful of others.
Parents are truly amazed at the positive difference in attitude child develops after beginning c asses at WMAA. A child can walk proud with head held high. This not only instills in a child a great habit but it also show them with hard work and dedication any goal they set can be achieved. I suppose that if they learn just one thing from their time in Tae Kwon Do, I would say this is by far the most important. In choosing a TaeKwonDo school , look for one that has a distraction-free environments so your child has some time to forget about the outside world and concentrate on their training.
From sparring to board breaking and to rising up the ranks to by getting a new belt, there are not many things your child will do by themselves in a TaeKwonDo school. A kid will be constantly working together with his classmates to learn new forms and techniques that helps to form the important skill of teamwork that they will use throughout their lives. Thinking that TaeKwonDo instruction promotes violent behavior can be a reasonable assumption if your only experience with Tae Kwon Do comes from television or movies.
However and in fact, TaeKwondo as well as other martial arts have many defensive styles that teach kids peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution skills and emphasize the prudence of avoiding a physical altercation. Engaged children learn more, faster. Good kids TaeKwonDo programming understands this and balances the responsibilities and traditions of the art with challenges, games, and socially focused events to keep kids engaged in the lessons and the community.
Hopefully at this point you can see the many benefits a kid gets from studying TaeKwonDo. Of course, the other martial arts out there, provide similar benefits but having taken TaeKwonDo for an extended period of time, I can tell you first hand the changes I have seen in kids that have trained in TaeKwonDo for an extended period of time. It will take time, some shorter, others longer, but you will see subtle changes happening that your child may not even be aware of such as being more respectful to older people or more kind to others of their same age bracket.
Physical Fitness and Activity The 3 pieces of the fitness puzzle are strength, flexibility, and endurance. Respect One of the first things you will notice when starting TaeKwonDo is the instructor will start to instill in a student the necessity of showing respect to not only the instructor but to their classmates as well, regardless of their skill level. Improves Athleticism There is a reason why virtually every professional sports team supplements their training with TaeKwonDo or some form of Martial Arts.
