The home prices in California have returned to the 1980’s price level, unemployment is approaching 10% in my state, and people that are working are having their paychecks cut. The women in the home must deal with finances, children, and economic pressures not seen since the depression of the 1930’s. Why you as women must continue to participate in this sport is to give women an avenue to release their frustrations.
Nothing releases the negativity quicker than hitting something. With men being released first from a job, the female companion must be focused and relaxed to give the support necessary to get his career restarted. Some of the benefits women-fighting provides are physical training, stress release and legacy for others to follow.
Physical training is one of the benefits from fighting. It requires you to develop all parts of the body from the inside out. You have to monitor your diet, mental state, and body posture you want to display to others. The pushups, sit-ups, and cardio are steps that must be enhanced for person to get maximum results in the ring. At Golden Tiger Martial Arts’ studio, we have several professional woman taking Muy Thai classes. Not only learning are the women learning self defense but getting in shape punching the bags and improving their mental skills to excel at their careers.
Another benefit of the sport is the ability to fight and release frustrations. The demands of the world can cause any woman to go insane. With the expectation to be a mother, lover, and even the family income provider, it can build up quite a bit of inner stress in anyone. What better way to get rid of it than to kick and punch your way to peace. You also have a trained expert monitoring you to make sure you don’t get hurt. The rage that you let out on the outside can prevent you from having problems on the inside. Before I found fighting, I was slowly dying on the inside from frustration of building a company, problems that must be dealt with, and obstacles encountered to reach my goals. In addition, you can get young women involved in an activity that can elevate their self-esteem and improve their health to deal with challenges of growing up.
The last benefit of participating in these sports is the legacy you will leave for others to follow. As the country focuses on getting back in shape, the woman will look to other that many levels of participation and opportunity to make money. Basketball and Football started as small activities that are now billion dollar empires. As the sport continues to grow, the advertisers, sponsors, and paying fans will come to look and participate in sport that test a person as the cavemen were tested in the beginning of time. In time, the building of fighting hall of fames for women fighters along with naming of streets after successful athletes will come. You are in this sport to make money now while building a legacy for yourself and others in the future.
To conclude, you have reasons for continuing to fight beyond the few benefits I have covered. The goal is for all of us to continue to grow and promote this sport. We live in a world with a lot of frustrated people that need to have healthy outlets beyond drinking, smoking, or random acts of violence occurring these days. Once more women see the benefits of female combat sports, the women can become the calming and responsible influence to a world that has become interested in serving oneself instead of helping others reach their goals. |
