Although all the martial arts were found for self defense and attack purposes but soft skills they teach us definitely help to live our life in a more organise and controlled way. Taekwondo and kickboxing are most popular martial arts. Before getting your kid in any such school gather some information about the school.
Why do we refer different fighting techniques by martial arts and what is the significance of using the word " art ". Well if we go to the history of tae kwon do we probably find the answer of these questions. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and now it is most popular self defense technique in all around the world. Meaning of the word tae kwon do is the way to use your leg and fist (tae = leg, kwon = fist and do = the way). it can also be translated as the way of kicking and punching. Up till late nineties this was the most famous martial arts in the word if we go by the number of practitioners. Traditional tae kwon do refers to the martial arts which was established in 1950 by Korean Military and sport taekwondo refers to different types of competition held by organisations to promote or to appreciate it.

This martial arts can be of many use and practices for example it combines self defense technique, self control, self confidence, sports and game themes and is a good exercise and meditation too. Any martial art is primarily focused on self defense and attack theories but the skills which are require to master these arts include self control and confidence with a high ability to concentrate. Therefore practitioners of these arts develop these required skills before mastering the art itself. Popularity of these fighting skills is because of the confidence and physical ability they develop in any individual.

People like to give their kids a coaching class of these martial arts because they want their kid to learn self control and self confidence rather they wish their child to become a fighting star. As a matter of fact we live in a well organised society and therefore we hardly find ourselves in situations where we require self defense techniques but still martial arts like taekwondo and kickboxing are very popular because of the soft skills it develops in any kid. Basically these martial arts teaches us a better way to live our lives and therefore we call them arts I guess. There may be a chance that primarily these skills were developed for self denfense of attack purposes but the soft skills they teaches us can teach us a better way to live our lives.


Some parents refrain their kids to learn these kind of arts as they think that knowing these arts can turn their kid a violent one but this is absolutely not true. Very first thing any master of martial arts whether it is taekwondo or it is kickboxing will teach your kid is self control and to use your mind first rather then body. I believe that knowing these skills will further improve the behavior of your kid in different situations and they will never let any one take them for granted. Before getting your kid into any kickboxing school it will be nice if you personally visit the school first. Require some knowledge about the master in the school and communicate your objectives with master or the reasons for which you would like to join your kid the school.
