Question

Is Karate a good sport to take during the summer and school year?

Answer 1

h**l yeah...

Answer 2

yup,coz i myself do that and it keeps me fit and well balance4and i cope with my studies

Answer 3

It's good to take at any time of year, it will benefit you either way ^_^

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

Absolutely.

A sport you can do year round. A sport you can do the rest of your life. A sport that can teach you to be a better person. A sport that can show you how to defend yourself.

Answer 6

Karate is a martial art, not a sport. Thinking and treating it like a sport is the reason that it's so poorly taught and practiced in the states. UFC is a sport. Maybe that's what you're interested in.

Answer 7

Definetly yes. We have a young girl who is 14 in our dojo, and the change in her since she has started training is phenominal. Not only does she have more confidence in herself, but she also has an environment where she knows she is loved and cared about.

If more kids had something like this, be it a tarditional art or a MMA school that teaches when to use it I think we would have far fewer problems then we do right now. Go for it.

Make sure that you choose a good school and instructor. There are many good questions and answers on here about what to look for and what to avoid.

Answer 8

What are you looking to achieve? If you want to get fit , you may rather want to take up swimming!!

If you are prepared to commit yourself to an ancient art that is going to push you both physically and mentally, then there are no bad martial arts, just bad martial artists. You need to decide what you really want to achieve!

Go ahead, Make a choice and then stick with it because real learning only starts when you think that your black belt is cool!!
