Martial Arts

 
A brief explanation of the term ‘martial arts’ has already been provided on the Wikipedia page. However, one of the most frequently asked question regarding the term is the difference between martial arts and taekwondo or taekwondo and karate and so on. Originally, in the ancient times, different countries had developed their own unique combat techniques as a part of their war tactics, like Kung Fu was developed by China, Taekwondo by Korea, Karate by Japan, Wrestling in India, etc. Over time, with the introduction of long-range weapons like guns, the need for these techniques was diminished. Thus, to preserve these styles, which were now also a part of their culture, these countries introduced and modified them in sports format under the collective term, Martial Arts.
 
In the ancient times, a martial artist was a warrior who possesses exceptional physical and mental capabilities, which are relevant and important even today mainly for the military, a sportsman, and even in our day to day lives. These qualities come in two types; visible, i.e. the body posture, bone density, flexibility, strength, endurance, agility, etc and invisible, i.e. focus, discipline, leadership, decision-making, confidence, emotional resilience, etc. Thus, martial arts provides for the overall character development of an individual, which is why nowadays, it is so highly regarded in many countries and even provides students who pursue it with exceptional educational opportunities.
 
Since two years, we have been training students in different forms of martial arts at Millennium National School. As a result of the immense support from the management, parent’s cooperation and student response, the management have decided to form a fully equipped martial arts studio with exceptional quality equipment and high priced gears.
