Finding A Good Hobby For Your Child

By Richardo Manning


If you are a parent, you definitely want the best for your child. You want him or her to learn and grow and eventually grow into a responsible adult. But mostly, you want your child to be happy. Many parents these days are concerned because they feel like their children spend too much time playing video and computer games and watching television and movies.

One of the main benefits your child will get from being in an after school martial arts program are exercise benefits. There are several exercise benefits linked to practicing martial arts. One of the main benefits of practicing martial arts is that your cardiovascular health is improved. In case you didn't know, your cardiovascular system is comprised of your heart, arteries, and veins.

All of these mechanisms work together to help get blood pumped through your body and to all of the places it needs to go. Basically, martial arts strengthens your heart.

Once the Chinese had been introduced to this spectacle, they named it shang pu, and the Koreans christened it tae sang bak. Interestingly enough, tae sang bak is a synonym for a type of Korean wrestling called ssireum, pronounced "sumo" in Japanese.

Japan changed the course of martial arts history when unfortunate wrestler Tomakesu-Hayato was commanded to face Nomi-no-Sukene. Nomi-no-Sukene redefined the power of martial arts by using a combination of violent wrestling and a new fighting style called chikara kurabe to kick his opponent to death during the fight. This deadly mixture of various martial arts resulted in the birth of jujutsu; a form of self-defense in which Brazilian Ju-jitsu in Provo finds its roots.

The Chinese also made their mark on the martial arts legacy by inventing chaun fa (or kempo) and introducing it to Japan in 607 A.D. This collaboration showed the influence of different countries' cultures on the direction of martial arts, leading to later developments on the martial arts scene over a thousand years later.

Hobbies also help give children a sense of achievement, that they have completed something to be proud of. Hobbies also give children the way to discover new things.

Many people who practice marital arts proclaim that it is helped them with weight loss. If you participate in martial arts that is moderately intensive, you can lose up to 500 calories.

This is very helpful for people who are trying to lose weight and incorporate healthy activities into their daily lives. Many people who practice martial arts also love how toned it makes their body.

Other effects of the interaction between China, Japan, and Korea are evident in martial arts such as kendo. Additionally, the widely recognized fighting style of karate has actually been directly affected by the influence of other countries.

The Okinawan martial artist Sakugawa who invented it in 1722, originally decided to name the form karate-no-sakugawa, with the character "kara" referring to China. However, when karate was introduced into Japan by Gichin Funakoshi in 1921, the meaning of "kara" changed from "China" to "empty".

While it may be impossible to credit the responsible countries with every change to martial arts throughout history, it is enough to say that without their combined collaboration, the disciplines of self-defense would not be anywhere near as diverse as we know today.
