Karate
Most players join martial arts to run away from stress, sexuality, or childhood agitations. I joined Karate because I was raised by a single masculine father who always pushed us to be healthy and independent. I joined this sport to protect myself and my siblings. So, why do people join Karate? Most people view Karate as a violent sport filled with emotions, aggression, and insecurity. These opinions are possibly accurate because I joined this sport for these three reasons. I joined Karate to gain self-defense, fitness, confidence, coordination, focus, discipline and something different. Karate, like any other sport, improves participant’s health, social health, and ability to make new friends, the ability to be visionary, and their capacity to learn new things. Americans should ensure they add exercise to their daily routine because it not only keeps them healthier but also improves their social skills.
Activities have a way of keeping the athletes healthier and more physically fit compared to the lazy people who revoke any form of exercise. Karate benefits every part of the body, including the participants mind. Since I joined this sport, I have a proper sleep because my body releases chemicals that help me feel good. I have never experienced any mild depression or low self-esteem since I joined this sport. Right now I own a brown belt in Karate and am aspiring to reach the black belt level. The fact that I go to the turf every day and exercise gives me the peace of the mind. Moreover, Karate helps me evade some diseases including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. Karate can improve the participant’s cardiovascular system. This sport improves an individual’s heart pumping rate as well as the oxygen intake capacity, consequently improving their cardiovascular system. Karate has aided me to improve my muscle mass. We engage in various exercises, including the pushups, the abdominals, horse stance, front stance, and other activities, which have enabled me to gain more muscle mass and agility. Lastly, Karate exercises involve several activities that consist of stretching body muscles, and this allows participants to improve their flexibility and stability necessary for their daily routines.

Apart from the health benefits of Karate on its participants, this exercise also enable us to improve our social and endurance skills. Unlike other forms of martial arts, Karate builds the function, power, and muscular endurance.

This exercise improves our balance and mobility, which are both necessary for survival in real life. Like any other sport, Karate improves individuals’ hand-eye coordination and body reflexes, which are both essential in most of our daily activities like driving. One of the primary reasons why I joined Karate was to feel secure about my self, improve my confidence and discipline, and I have achieved all these three attributes. Karate, like any other exercise, has a positive effect on a person’s physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.
Exercises improve participants physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Karate has enabled me acquire self defence skills which I can always use to prevent attacks. Apart from the defensive abilities, Karate has helped me be more physically fit, emotionally stable, and has improved my social skills.karate has enabled me to be more flexible, persistent, permanent, and more discipline. These four survival qualities have helped me to survive and improve the lives of my siblings. I found close friends from the dojo who have given me emotional support during somber moments.
