Martial arts Nowadays, being fit and healthy is becoming a huge idea-fix. Loads of people are crazy about living a healthy lifestyle and taking up new wholesome habits, for example, doing sports.

For instance, Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, Capoeira and so on. Their popularity is growing utterly fast due to, first of all, positive impact on one’s health. They improve not only your physical shape but the state of mind as well, helping you train balance skills, build up strength and increase the speed of reaction.

Interesting article you've written, Anastasia. ^^ I believe Ronda Rousey may disagree with your last statement, but... you are right that there's a high chance of being injured, and women are more suscepitible to such injuries than men (at least I think they are?). Myself, I'd never learn martial arts because I'm a pacifist (which is just a fancy way of saying "I'm a total pansy" :P). I couldn't harm a fly, much less another person. Anyways, thank you for sharing, and as for your English, I think it's extremely good! This was very, very well done. :)

I agree with you. I have never practice a martial arts but I am very fascinated by them. As you've written in your note Martial arts is not only useful for body but also for a psicological benefits. Most of them are connected with philosophy and with some particular life teachings. In my opinion a lot of young people could take advantage from martial arts to learn and to respect some simple ethics rules and manners.
