Martial Arts teaches self-discipline and respect for others. It teaches the artist how to focus and control such emotions as fear or anger. It is often recommended to take up a Martial Art as an effective stress management tool. After working out in a session, all the day-to-day troubles of the world seem to be forgotten. People come out refreshed, energized and ready to tackle the world. The progressive system also instills an increase in self confidence (especially children), which will have a cross over effect in other areas of life such as in other sports and general self-esteem.
