But the intention behind the practice of martial arts goes even further. Let's discover together what an effective practice of martial arts should lead us to.
What are the benefits associated with the practice of martial arts?
Martial arts require discipline and rigor that allow you to derive many benefits, both physical and psychological.

Why engage in the practice of martial arts?
Engaging in the practice of a martial art implies devoting a part of oneself to it. But why decide to go this route? What is, personally, your intention behind the practice of martial arts?
The intention behind your training says a lot about you, about the character you are building. Training for the sole purpose of fighting, injuring or defeating others cannot bring anything positive, either internally or around you. Martial efficiency is certainly an objective to be achieved, but for what purpose and for what reasons?
Practicing martial arts for its physical and mental benefits
As we described earlier, the benefits of such a practice are felt in both physical and mental health. This reason alone might be enough to convince one to follow the path of martial arts.

Probably the biggest battle we fight in life is against time. It is a fight in which we can only slow down the effects, by taking care of our body and cultivating our mind. The toughest opponent we have to face is undoubtedly ourselves. We are our biggest obstacle to evolve, to change, to break bad habits to establish better ones.
In the end, several intentions can be behind the practice of martial arts. Whether it is for the health benefits, for the associated lifestyle or for the purpose of improving yourself as a person, the important thing is to ensure that your intention is noble.
