"I don't want to fight, so why should I learn a martial art?"
If you explore a little deeper you will soon find out that learning martial arts doesn't make you more aggressive, doesn't mean you will want to pick fights. What you can learn are life-skills, an outlook on life that will carry you forward in whatever you do.
Martial arts is about much more than fighting. Its about many things, such as
- Discipline, especially self-discipline
- Resilience and "keeping one's head"
- Respect for oneself and for others
- Self-confidence
- Fitness, balance, agility
- Etiquette and politeness
- Membership of a group, friendship
Oh, and all those cool techniques, breakfalls, controls.
