  Why take martial Arts
If you ask a 100 martial arts students why they take martial arts, you are likely to hear   a variety of answers. The popularity of martial arts today can be attributed to the multitude of benefits martial arts training offers. I can think of no other activity that offers such a diversified list of benefits to participants of all ages and genders, and to students who range from the physically fit to the physically challenged. And while each of us may start out seeking a particular benefit, martial arts training takes us down a path where we discover that we are gaining so much more.

  No Experience Necessary. Success in martial arts does not require athletic skills. However, through your training, you will develop key characteristics to enhance your athletic skills for your other sports interests. Benefits such as better hand/eye co-ordination, endurance, and physical fitness can help you improve in any sport.

  Self-defence. The martial arts not only teaches how to cope with physical confrontations, but also how to avoid confrontations using proper body language and street awareness smarts. In today's world, you may never need to physically defend yourself, but the newspapers are full of people who couldn't!

  Mental Discipline affects your daily attitude and the decisions you make when life challenges you with new obstacles. Martial arts can teach you how to relax, focus, and maintain your control when the going gets tough. Children with strong mental discipline are least likely to be susceptible to peer pressure anxieties, while adults learn to manage stress levels brought on by life's pressures.

  Better School Grades.: Many parents have reported that their children have dramatically improved their school grades after they joined the martial arts. Better grades in school can strongly influence a child's overall success in their future career and their life. Is there a better reason to involve children in martial arts?

  Working Together. The spread of martial arts around the world was enabled by passing knowledge from one person to another. This sharing continues to create a bond within the martial arts community. The martial arts school is considered a family unit by those who train together. As you reach higher ranks in the arts, you may have the privilege of teaching formally or assisting an instructor. But you can experience the wonderful feeling of teaching today by working with other students in school. When we help each other, we become better students ourselves.

  Family Unity. The martial arts has become a leader in bringing families together in an era when individual family members seem to be doing their own thing. Martial arts offers you an opportunity to share the benefits of training with through martial arts movements. Simply put, when motivational levels are low, mar-those you love, while developing important quality-time together And although you martial arts gives you the power to energise and continue toward all your goals. Commitment. To achieve anything in life you must be committed. Martial arts training teaches us the value of sticking to a goal. The student on a journey toward Black Belt encounters many outside influences that can disrupt attendance, such as vacations and sickness. This leads to missed classes, causing lower motivational levels. Making a commitment to attend all martial arts classes, or to get right back into class, will ensure that you give yourself the opportunity to achieve your goal. Working towards your Black Belt together, each member of the family will also discover a valuable personal benefit from his or her training.

  Self-confidence. To utilise all your skills and to take action on your goals, you must have the confidence in yourself to make it all happen. Confidence is perhaps the most delicate attribute of an individual's character. Your current confidence level is generally the result of how you feel about your most recent events in life. Martial arts can give you the feeling of confidence that lets nothing stand in your way!

  Health and Fitness. it is highly recommended that people engage in a regular fitness program. Since many people find exercise unexciting, the fitness industry is constantly bombarding us with new exercise devices to spark our interest. Martial arts training, however, is quickly becoming the choice among many adults as the way to become fit today and remain fit tomorrow because it is fun, too! For children, creating exercise habits that will last can lead to years of health advantages.

  The Introductory Lesson. When you begin your martial arts program at our school you will have a private introductory lesson. This will enable you to grasp the basic concepts of our system in a safe and personal environment. The introduction classes are scheduled for around 20 minutes and will enable you to familiarise your self with our academy. The instructors will be able to answer any questions or concerns that you may have about our system. After your free introductory class, you should be prepared to make a decision as to your future with our school.

  Your Journey to Blackbelt is assessed every two months with a grading at our academy.
Our belt system runs as follows: White - red - yellow - green - blue - purple - brown - black.

  Reaching Goals and Objectives. To help students achieve their goals they will be tested regularly, and their progress will be assessed by an instructor. Achieving a Black Belt is a multi-year goal for most people. Along the way there are short term objectives to advance in skill level. Learning to set and achieve goals will help students become more successful in other areas of their lives as well. The goals you set are the goals you get! Through the years, the martial arts industry has grown rapidly. It has grown out of the image of a gym to that of a school, with a curriculum which outlines goals and objectives, A strong classroom structure is the key to Edwards Black Belt system it helps the student stay focused on his or her own goals.
