Why martial arts is beneficial for children
I WAS introduced to martial arts at an early age. As a seven year old, I remember being granted my first ever red belt. Unsurprisingly I was over the moon. From that first grading I stuck to training every week without fail, learning new moves, sparring techniques and going through intense workouts. I knew that when it was time for my next grading, I would be at my best to aim for my new belt. The important point being, I did my best to achieve goals I had set myself, a skill that has stood me the test of time in every aspect of my life. Fast forward to the present day and I am coaching Muay Thai to the next generation at Everyday Athlete Gym, passing down my own experiences and helping the kids create their own – a job which I love.
