TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Peaceful Warrior: Mental and Emotional Benefits of Martial Arts

When training in the martial arts, you increase your
self-confidence as you learn to control your body. Your
self-esteem grows as you master new skills. Being able to see
your ribs again, after they've been buried under fat for years,
can lift even the most downtrodden of spirits.

Self-defense skills may make you braver and more courageous, not
just in the training hall but in the outside world, as well --
and not just when confronting knife-wielding attackers, but when
handling nasty bosses and edgy spouses.

Sometimes, the most dangerous martial artists are green belts,
not black belts. In Tae Kwon Do, for example, a green belt is an
intermediate rank. At this stage, students have learned the basic
techniques and are starting to feel tremendously confident of
their physical skills -- but they haven't developed much humility
yet, so their judgment is poor. Watch out for this stage -- don't
let confidence become overconfidence and get you into situations
you'd do better to avoid.
