Martial arts encompass a range of combat practices and self-defence techniques. They promote physical fitness, discipline, and mental focus. Styles such as karate, taekwondo, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu teach students not only how to defend themselves but also how to develop self-control, respect, and perseverance. Training typically involves learning various strikes, kicks, blocks, and grappling techniques, along with forms and sparring. Martial arts provide a holistic approach to personal development, enhancing both physical strength and mental resilience while fostering a strong sense of community and respect among practitioners.
