The start of the September school year appears conducive to change. Sportsman, for example! If you want to practice a combat sport, don’t hesitate to contact a sports association in your neighborhood or town.
The benefits of boxing
You don’t have a firm idea about discipline? Chat with educators. The range is indeed potentially wide. Illustrations.
Boxing – of which there is a ‘health’ variation – offers many benefits. First of all, on a physical level, with the possibility of burning calories and improving your ‘cardio’.
But not only. It will also boost tone, coordination, balance while allowing muscle strengthening. On a mental level, it often appears described as a release.
Something to ward off the stress and tension inherent in a difficult day or week.
Respect for the opponent
Judo helps “develop children’s motor skills and also conveys educational values,” reports the Ministry of Sports. Flexibility, art of movement and dodging, ability to unbalance your opponent: ultimately there is little question of pure strength.
“As with any martial art, the practice of judo is accompanied by a lifestyle based on balance between body and mind, on the principle of respect: that of others above all, partners and adversaries,” explains the French Judo Federation (FFR). Advantage: it is accessible to children from 4 years old.
In the same way as karate, simultaneous execution of different fist and leg techniques.
Fencing – which is indeed a combat discipline since it consists of touching an opponent with the point or edge of a bladed weapon – can also be practiced from a very young age, as it is possible to start late , in leisure.
Like boxing, judo and other karate, it is also a lot about flexibility, coordination, liveliness and even strategy. Without forgetting of course the ‘cardio’ aspect.
In short, so many practices which certainly require concentration but which also allow you to let off steam, draw on your resources and expose yourself to adversity.
