The Dimension of Health: Martial Arts
One of the beautiful attributes about the Dimension of Wellness is that there are many ways to go about it. One way that perhaps may not be the most traditional route like push ups, pull ups, or swimming is martial arts.
Martial arts are often seen as simply fighting techniques, however these forms can be as powerful, if not more so than most regular body exercises. Martial arts that are common are the following:
- Kung Fu
- Karate
- Tai Chi Chuan
- Judo
- Taekwando
There are almost a limitless amount of forms that one can learn, however, research has shown that they have incredible power to exercise the entire body, relax the mind, give greater strength to legs and arms, and allow a multitude of stretches. Martial arts really is a means of combining the dimension of wellness and the dimension of mentality.
Martial Arts are ancient techniques that combine methods of healing with the concept of linking both body and mind. For many – martial arts also combine soul. In short, for those who choose a path of martial arts training, it can act like a high health vitamin – combining multiple dimensions together. There have been therapeutic effects for those with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, over stress, and even bullying. They train the mind and body self control, strength, and relaxation techniques simultaneously.
Martial Arts are not for everyone! Of the thousand paths to success and the realities you can choose, this is one option that may be of interest to you. If so – continue your research on this subject.
