Any woman wants to be gentle and defenseless, but in the modern rhythm of life it is very rare to feel like a real woman. In pursuit of the ability to give change to an intruder from a night bar or a maniac, a woman decides to sign up for classes in aikido, wushu or other self-defense courses. Is it worth doing it? How can martial arts affect your figure?
The very first and indisputable plus is strength and tone. Regular practice in various martial arts is a great opportunity to tighten up what is sagging on your body, as well as pump up what is just about to sag. You can start training with signature and effective techniques or with standard warm-up activities such as squats and push-ups. In addition, the further exercise with a good partner is an excellent load that will allow you to keep all muscles in excellent tone.
The second major benefit is flexibility. This quality is successfully developed through exercises that are included in the list of every martial art of our time. Without flexibility, power grips and controls will not only be ineffective, but also dangerous. The third indisputable plus is self-confidence. In the event that you throw strong men over your thigh a couple of times a week, then you will perceive the boss's scolding or rudeness on the bus much easier. Most likely, it warms the feeling that you can simply break or twist your hand, which insolently grabbed your shoulder or slapped on the "soft spot".
A frequently asked question and often the decisive fact why girls do not want to go in for martial arts is "I will become like a man, a mountain of muscles will be pumped up and not at all where it should be." I can safely assure you! For muscles to grow and you become like a man, you must be a man! When practicing martial arts, all muscle groups develop; this is not swimming, where the main load is on the arms. The load is distributed evenly and in most directions they are not engaged in muscle buildup, but in bringing them into a state of tone.
Another not unimportant factor is the psychological component of all martial arts. Fostering "fighting spirit". It sounds threatening, but remember yesterday or last week, how many people managed to offend, get nasty, or throw you a psychological challenge? If in response they received grimaces, embarrassment, awkwardness on your part, then you need a "fighting spirit" to withstand any obstacles in life!
Well, the last important plus is a great chance to arrange a personal life. There are much more men who are fond of self-defense than the fair sex. Well, according to eyewitnesses, painful grips and sparring are considered a good way to get a closer look at each other.
