Miladi Karate

5 Reasons Why You Should Do Karate:
1. Get in shape
Karate works both the upper and lower body. From quad strengthening
front stances to bicep burning punches, karate will work muscles you never
even knew you had. One hour of karate can burn from 400-600 calories (you’d have to walk on the treadmill for three hours to burn that
many!*). Plus martial arts can help with flexibility. So you can loosen up
those muscles and your jeans.
2. Relieve Stress
The daily rise and grind can take its toll leaving you tense and frazzled.
According to WebMD, 43 percent of all adults suffer adverse health effects
from stress and 75 to 90 percent of all doctor's office visits are for stress related
ailments and complaints.
Stress can cause many side effects such as headaches, high blood
pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, arthritis,
depression, and anxiety. Karate can help you kick that anxiety and tension
to the curb. It is great exercise, which is a proven form of stress relief. After
all, you deserve to have at least one hour in your day without having your
mind flooded with to-do lists.
3. Learn How to Defend Yourself
We've all heard the "stranger danger" talk, but would you know to do if you
were ever actually in a dangerous situation? Karate will teach you basic
self-defense moves, like an elbow or palm strike to help you escape an
attacker.
4. Gain a sense of accomplishment
Becoming a karate master is no easy task. It takes
years of hard work and dedication, but there’s nothing like that sense of
fulfillment after you’ve perfected a new move or earned a new belt rank.
5. Travel
Karate tournaments give our athletes an opportunity to compete not only
locally, but nationally and internationally.
