Martial arts classes, because of their intense workouts, allow students to release nervous energy until they are drained from the exertion. Working up a good sweat has always been a great way to diffuse anger. Experienced martial artists exhibit calmness outside of the training studio as well. This inner peace is due to several factors, but is probably a result of experiencing stressful situations when learning self-defense –and overcoming them. The confidence gained through mastery of martial arts techniques also lends itself to keeping calm in stressful situations.

The message is that if it’s worth anything, it’s worth working hard for!
