Talking to us, Manoj says 'The most obvious reason we should learn martial art is that it teaches s how to defend ourselves. It is undeniable that there is violence in the society. It occurs unexpectedly and without regard for who the victim is. Violence can affect all of us, so it is essential to be prepared for such occurrences, and the crux of training is to learn fighting skills. Not only to learn specific techniques, but also to develop toughness and stamina that needed to endure a physical altercation. This knowledge and conditioning lead to other benefits besides just being equipped with techniques, he added.
It is a complete workout. And all of us build stamina, strength, and flexibility. We also develop coordination and balance. You feel better physically as your body becomes stronger and more capable. You breathe better, and blood flows to all the necessary parts of the body more freely. It could also be say as a funny way to stay in shape sometimes.
