Boredom is the first reason why people stop attending various courses of exercise. Many sporting activities seem very interesting at first, but people soon get tired and are already looking for another challenge for their body. Martial arts are different, because they are often the perfect program to train your body and mind.

Let us become flexible

Flexibility is the range of motion, to which length a joint can be moved.

How to improve your flexibility:

• Perform stretching exercises before and after your workout. Post-workout stretching exercises are best for increasing your flexibility as your muscles are then heated
• When you reach a stretch limit, hold in this point for 20-60 seconds
• Avoid jerky and forced motion, as this can lead to serious injury
• Work slowly and proceed a little by little, but with quality
• Breathe normally. Breath holding will give a command to your muscles to retract, instead to release
• Stretch all muscles evenly
• Learn how to perform exercises correctly
• Listen to your body, do not worry excessively
• Persistence is the key. Stretch regularly
• It is not a competition, so do not compete with others and do not overdo it

The importance of strength training

In addition to normal trainings, where you mostly learn the technique of martial arts, you must also train your strength, because that is only way we can improve the strength and effectiveness of our impacts and strengthen the body to endure the punches.

The most important tool for training

In individual training you can quickly become bored, because we humans are social beings. It is therefore important that you find a good partner, because that way you can do a lot of exercises that otherwise you would not have been able to practice and can be much more fun. In addition to socializing in trainings, it may also lead to social contacts and friendships outside the gym.
