Martial Arts
Do you remember the first time you thought about doing Martial Arts? Maybe it was something as recent as a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) match? Perhaps it was first seeing Bruce Lee? Some of us were inspired by ninja and samurai movies. Then there are those who had enough of being bullied or were perhaps taking control of their own health and fitness.
Friday night was a Youth Krav Maga and MMA promotion. During these promotions we run drills in which the kids must defend themselves against a much larger attacker. Then they must execute MMA transition drills.
I am always inspired and in awe of how the kids “show up.” Sometimes we bang our heads against the wall wondering why there is something they consistently can’t understand. Why is it 1 day they are focused and attentive and the next day they are chaos incarnate? Pure and simple. They’re kids. They need to have fun. They need to let of some steam.
Take a page from a children. Relax. Have fun and let off some steam by training in the Martial Arts. There’s a lot to learn in the Martial Arts world. There’s even more to learn from watching how kids learn.
