Why do we do what we do? Or, WHY should you do martial arts? There a million reasons, and they are different for each person, but I'd suggest five (5) really good reasons you should be doing martial arts. 1. Body awareness : we teach you body awareness which is essential to your overall health. It promotes mobility, balance, strength and coordination. It makes you live longer. 2. Self Defense : if you ever have to, it's good to be able to punch, kick, knee or elbow with power. 3. Chemistry! What? Well, our bodies haven't changed much from when we were cave people. This gives us a positive way to channel our inate aggression. 4. Stress! Related to #3, our bodies need an outlet for stress (especially now) and martial arts is a way to reduce our stress. 5. You learn " YES I CAN ". Your mind can play tricks on you. But in martial arts you look at something you initially think you'd never be able to do, and a few minutes later you are actually doing it. That is an important life lesson. You can get started with a web special (just click the link) https://events.membersolutions.com/event_register.asp?content_id=74054 Coach David NY San Da

Let's talk about SWEAT.... Sweat might be a bit, uh, gross... but it IS a good indication that your workout is actually working. New member (it was her 4th class) said that in a "kickboxing place" she had been before, they screamed and tried to keep a crazy pace. "Boot camp" stuff is still real popular. She said that she was (is) shocked that in our class, which seems "slower" and more technique oriented, she sweats MORE. A good workout isn't about going crazy. It's about movement, breathing and using the entire body. I will add, going "slow", especially at first, not only helps you learn the technique correctly, it also does two VERY IMPORTANT THINGS 1) It gets you using your ENTIRE BODY.... so, yes, you get an awesome workout and 2) It prevents injuries! Let's be honest, injuries suck, and they keep you from working out. We just don't have time for injuries!
