New friends and connections

Committing to a regular social pattern gives us the sense of community and support we all need. With a sport like martial arts, you can share a common interest, helping you to overcome challenges together. You can also organise your own social events with your new squad, strengthening your emotional support for one another.

Strength, control and power

With martial arts comes a range of life skills that can be used in and outside the studio. These are particularly useful for children, who learn what it is to have control, discipline and self-defence. They also gain physical fitness and an increased sense of self-esteem, which can stay with them forever. Many studies have been conducted to show how martial arts can improve alertness and concentration in school, boosting grades and helping children foster long-lasting friendships. Get your child involved in something that will benefit them in all aspects of life, and watch them flourish!

Mental health

Martial arts helps children and adults develop a sense of assertiveness. This has been proven to both ease the symptoms and lessen the chances of developing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Studies conducted in 2016 have also shown how exercise can improve symptoms of ADHD in both children and adults, as their hyperactivity is better managed and released in a more controlled way.

Real chemical evidence (endorphins)

If you haven’t already come across the1 chemical endorphin, then read on. Endorphins are released when a person takes part in exercise. These react with your brain to produce positive effects such as inhibiting pain receptors, improving mood and reducing stress. They can also improve a person’s sleeping pattern, thereby reducing anxiety and depression. They basically act as a reset function, balancing your body out! Regular physical activity will make sure you get all the endorphins you need. We guarantee you’ll feel great after a PMA session.

Motivation and commitment

Not only does working with a group improve your social life; it also brings a motivation like no other. Once you have your regular team of martial arts goers, they will encourage you to attend each session and keep you motivated throughout. You can apply this motivation to your other day-to-day responsibilities with the spur of energy and inspiration that it brings.

Physical strength

Last but by no means least, martial arts vastly improves physical strength. It can improve energy and stamina, strengthen muscles including the heart, and lower blood pressure. It tones the muscles and strengthens bones. There is no reason why you shouldn’t bring yourself and your child down to PMA Rotherham or get in touch today!
