Written by: Master McCorry


At thirty years of age, you have passed your youth, but still it is difficult to accept what it means to be an adult. However, you start accepting it when your body and mind tell you that the good old days are behind you. Entering to adulthood is difficult – the growing responsibilities and increasing stress soon get the better of you and tire you out. The generation of our parents might have faced it at a later age, but we, being the children of the modern age, end up with greyer hairs and aching joints at thirty.


How can you make this journey a happy one? For anything you know, this is something you can’t do without. The best you can do is to make it as enjoyable as possible. There's a million self-help books out there telling you what to do and how to do it. But, perhaps you need something concrete – something that can actually help you to be happy in adulthood – something like martial arts.

Martial Arts for Adults & Seniors: Why Go For It?
Learning martial arts might not be the first thing among your goals. However, it is something that will help you to achieve your dreams. Whether your aim is health, fitness, self-defense, stress-relief or confidence, martial arts can make your dream come true for you.

Martial Arts for Health:
Adulthood is the time when your youthful immunity deserts you. Our lifestyle has given us diabetes, cardiac diseases, obesity and many similar demons to fight. With martial arts at your side, you are at an advantage. There is nothing like martial arts to improve your immunity and make you stronger.


Martial Arts and Fitness:
Another thing that usually disappears with youth is your fit and toned body. Even if you did not have a fit body to be proud of in your younger days, you can achieve one for sure through martial arts. Most martial arts sessions burn calories and redistribute fat at a quicker rate than usual workouts.

Stress Relief through Martial Arts:
The latest study by American Psychological Association (NY) has revealed that 31% of the employed adults feel stressed. Job pressure, relationships, family, money – the reasons to worry are much more once you pass youth. Martial arts is an effective cure for stress. Martial artists experience less stress even in the most pressurizing circumstances. They also handle relationships better.

Confidence and Self-Defense:
Once you get ready to take on the world, what makes many of you hesitant is the lack of confidence. This is something that martial arts can impart to you. Through learning martial arts, you will summon the courage to face the world and make your voice heard. Martial arts teaches you to be confident not only in your opinions. It also gives you the daring to protect yourself when you need to defend yourself. Self-defense is a skill you need the most to live in today’s world, and martial arts can teach it to you.
