Who watched the Karate Kid and didn’t want to be the Karate Kid on a martial arts adventure?
Admit it, you’d love to be able to break a block with your bare hands and boast about being a black belt.
Martial Arts is much bigger than Karate though. There’s a whole spectrum of martial arts sports to try!
Get started with Martial Arts…
Tai Chi is the gentlest form of Martial Arts. It combines deep breathing and relaxation with flowing movements and there is no combat involved.
Tai Chi can reduce stress and improve posture and muscle strength. You can try it out at most local gyms.
It does work your muscles though! Tai Chi is a full body work out, even though it’s low impact.
A little more martial arts adventure…
Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, Jujitsu, Muay Thai, Aikido and too many more to list. Some are fast, some are slow, some are contact sports and some are less so.
Google Martial Arts in your city and sign up for whichever class takes your fancy!
Maximum martial arts adventure!
Travel to the Shaolin Temple in China. You can stay a couple of days and try Kung Fu yourself for an hour or two – taught my a Kung Fu master! Or, if you love the sport and want to become a pro, choose to stay for years and become a Kung Fu master.
Be warned, the daily regime is full-on and there are some pretty bad ass two-year-olds back-flipping around with swords (in total control).
There are some awesome hikes in the area too!
