How Can Martial Arts Help Senior Citizens?

People, as they become older, start to look for ways to be more productive and efficient with their time. Senior citizens, in particular, discover that they have even more time to use and wish to do it efficiently. Many will seek new employment, while others will engage in hobbies and activities that they were unable to do before retirement. Martial arts is one activity that many seniors might consider in their search for a participating hobby. There are numerous advantages to participating in martial arts lessons.

Maintaining mental well-being

Growing older may be a beautiful thing as people gain knowledge and wisdom throughout their lives. The brain, on the other hand, does not work as rapidly or as well as it did in childhood. Seniors, on the other hand, are more likely to have problems like memory loss or slower reflexes. Martial arts can greatly aid in the relief of these ailments. It accomplishes this thru the discipline and consistent practice of reflexive rituals, which assist the elderly in maintaining mental attention. The brain is a muscle that, like other muscles in the body, requires regular exercise. Seniors should practice martial arts to keep their mental health and awareness in check.

Join a Community and Make Friends

As people age and enter retirement, their circle of friends tends to shrink. They don’t go to work every day and don’t see their coworkers on a regular basis. Enlisting in and attending martial arts lessons allows them to meet new people and form a community. Martial arts students all have a common interest in the sport. They may have all joined for various reasons, but the end result is the same. A variety of workouts involving partner and group activities are available. This fosters collaboration, and each individual feels a sense of belonging to the entire group. They all work together to develop a feeling of community and hold each other accountable. This is another another compelling incentive for elders to enroll in martial arts classes.

Physical stamina

Exercise is essential for everyone, but it is especially crucial for senior adults. When it comes to the physique of a senior vs that of a person in their 30s, the functions and strength are simply not the same. A senior should ensure that muscular and bone strength are maintained in order to maintain a healthy physique. One of the most common illnesses that any senior may develop is osteoporosis. This is caused by a weakened skeletal framework. They must increase their muscle strength in order to safeguard their bones. Martial arts can greatly aid in the development of muscle strength as well as general endurance.

For adults over the age of 40, heart disease is another major problem. Because of the physical habits connected with martial arts, a senior’s risk of heart disease is greatly reduced.

Many people should regard martial arts for seniors to be an all-around hobby. It not only allows them to be physically active, but it can also provide them with a variety of mental benefits. Giving elders the opportunity to perform something once thought to be unusual is a fantastic way to restore their self-esteem and confidence.

What you should expect from Cobra Kai in season 4

LaRusso’s Miyagi-do and Lawrence’s Eagle Fang dojos are teaming up against Kreese’s Cobra Kai in the upcoming 51st All-Valley Karate Tournament.

Who will play for each of the dojos, however, is a different matter. Samantha and Miguel are the combined dojos’ top warriors, while Robby Keene, Tory, and Kyler are all viable Cobra  Kai options.

Kreese summons his old war-vet buddy for backup in one of the final scenes of Cobra Kai season 3. For those unfamiliar, he’s summoning Terry Silver, who was portrayed by Thomas Ian Griffith in The Karate Kid Part III. Silver is well-known for founding Cobra Kai.

Thomas Ian Griffith, who plays Terry Silver, has been posting on social media since development started, which may be an indication of what he’ll look like in some way in season 4.

Stingray, the “neckbeard coach,” is expected to return for season 4 as well. He was on probation at the start of Season 3, but the actor who plays him hinted that a return could be on the cards.

Other notable changes include Hawk’s hair color, which seems to be changing from previous seasons (where it was red). The actor was recently seen signing autographs while wearing a new purple haircut.

In Cobra Kai season 4, we might also see improvements in the battle scenes. Hiro Koda and Jahnel Curfman both state they’re no longer working on the project in an interview with Bleeding Cool.

Women And Self Defense!!!

With all the craziness of the Corona Virus we have forgotten about all the other problems we have in the world.  Wars continue, Natural disasters destroying towns and cities, Drugs invading our countries and let’s not forget women being abused and killed.

It is estimated that 35% of women in the world have been affected by some type of crime in their life time. In some countries its even heard of 70% of women have experienced some type of crime such as sexual assault by their partner, sexual assault by a stranger, robbed, physical or verbal abuse at work and much more.

A study in certain countries shows that men that saw violence towards their mother when they were young are most likely to abuse women as they get older. These men seem to see women as inferior to them or any other male.

This Violence has caused women to look for means of protection. Some have taken up classes on how to use a gun, others carry some type of pepper spray and even stun guns are part of women’s essentials in their purse. Below are some of the most comment tools women use for self-defense:

6 Defense Weapons for Women

For some time now women have taken up Martial Arts as a way of defending themselves. The Martial Arts of Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, Kung Fu, Shim Myung Do, and others give the women a sense of freedom. With the practice of Shim Myung Do they can develop confidence in physical resistance and focus on breathing patterns to help them deal better when in a situation. Confidence is developed by consistently practicing the technique over and over again making it a natural movement when approached by an attacker.

The only goal in self-defense is not to beat up the attacker with martial arts techniques. The goal of self-defense is to be able to get free without injury to yourself. The best way to avoid being a victim is to prevent an attack from occurring in the first place. Here are 6 Rules of Prevention:

The 8 Golden Rules of Self Defense

There is no sure way for women or anyone to defend themselves, but taking some kind of action is better than nothing.  I would say that Martial Arts like Shim Myung Do is a good way to learn how to defend yourself as well as getting in shape. With the virus situation and everyone stuck at home now is a good time to enroll in online karate classes.  Online classes give you the benefits of:

No battling with traffic

No pier pressure

Train in the comfort of your home

No weather problems

So don’t be the next victim instead be the next success story of self defense!!!
