Martial Arts Life Hack
Paraphrased from talks by Mr. Adam and Renshi Matt
Through martial arts, you acquire the skills to address your weaknesses and acknowledge your strengths. As you progress to higher ranks, you will encounter moments of vulnerability and challenges. By persisting through these tough times, you gain a valuable advantage in life as you are familiar with overcoming obstacles. You are prepared to face difficulties because you have honed the ability to confront your weaknesses repeatedly.
“When we learn self-defense, we use it not only when an attacker comes at us, but when life comes to attack us. ”
While others struggle to cope, martial artists have developed resilience and anti-fragility to thrive in life, because self-defense skills are not solely for physical attacks but also for handling adversities that life throws their way.
