“The root of all martial arts is self-protection. While you may or may not learn sparring, forms, weapons, fitness and meditation in your martial arts classes, you should definitely be learning self-protection skills. Many people take up martial arts exclusively to learn to protect themselves or to at least feel more confident in their self-defense abilities. While they often come to enjoy other facets of the arts, self-defense is the number one reason students sign-up for classes.”
