This self-awareness gives you the confidence your need to control and defend yourself if needed. You'll be able to handle everyday and extraordinary situations without losing your temper. You'll be able to stand your ground. You'll appear to be (and will be) more confident - and people who appear to be confident are less likely to be the victims of violence because they don't look like "easy targets". Focus and Awareness. While training martial arts, you need to focus and concentrate on what you are doing so that you don't injure yourself or those around you. This focus and concentration carries over into other aspects of your life as well. Soon, you'll find yourself better able to concentrate on work, school and home.

This article will look at the common doubts that most beginners of the martial arts experience on their journey. 1. Is this really for me?This is a big question at the beginner stage and also at the intermediate stage. In fact this question will need to be answered on numerous different occasions all the way up to black belt, and maybe even then too!Self-doubt is not a bad thing, it is a way for you to take a step back from your training and logically ask yourself if karate is still for you. Only you can answer this question but to make sure that you continue to give karate a chance I recommend that you focus on three things: why did you get started in the first place; what has karate done for you so far; and what do you still hope to get out of your karate practice?

If your primary goal is self-defense then take a course that deals with that specifically and also read and learn about basic awareness tactics for going about your everyday life. 4. Is all of this talk about ethics and spiritual values really true?At first it seems as if punching and kicking don't really match the values of discipline and respect and I can't blame you for thinking that especially after picking up your daily newspaper and reading about the latest mugging, rape or local school violence. However the fact of the matter is that self-awareness leads to a greater appreciation of truth in your life and what it means to you specifically. By practicing martial arts you learn about your own strengths and weaknesses and through hard physical training you learn how to break through previous limitations and take yourself to the next level in your growth and self-discovery.

This is the attitude you must have to overcome all the obstacles in your training and matches. Focus, hard work and commitment are some of the key factors in the making of a champion. Knowing the right way to train/condition your mind and body will increase your odds in becoming a champion. So how do you go about it? First it starts with your most powerful asset or weapon you have, your thoughts. We are all in control of our destiny because we control our thoughts. "WHAT THE MIND CAN BELIEVE THE MIND CAN ACHIEVE" A lot of people do not like to hear this because it makes them responsible for where they are at in life, it takes away excuses for failing, not trying or giving up. It's all about attitude that sets you apart from every one else.

This will feed positive messages to your subconscious mind. Find a quiet place in your home sit or lay down whatever makes yourself comfortable and begin to visualize. Always visualize what YOU are going to do not what your opponent is going to do because you can only control yourself. Visualize yourself always moving quickly, effortlessly and being victorious, standing over your opponent holding your arms high up in the air with the championship belt around your waist. Visualize as if you have already obtained your goal, SMELL the scents of the arena. TASTE the salt from your sweat on your lips. HEAR the crowd chanting your name. FEEL and TOUCH the championship belt around your waist and the crowd's energy as you put up your hands in victory.

Rape and other sexual assault is always increasing. In the event of the worst outcome use your fingernails to gouge your attacker's cheek. It marks him for identification and you will have DNA under your nails. Drive your motor vehicle in a courteous manner. Nobody appreciates rude hand signs. Remember - eventually you have to stop, even if it is to refuel. Psycho cases might follow you for many miles "just to teach you a lesson" - all because you made yourself a target to their twisted minds. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, taking mind altering drugs and leaving ANY food or drink unattended where it may be tampered with is a recipe for disaster. Give your self an even chance. NEVER pick up hitch-hikers and ABSOLUTELY NEVER hitch-hike yourself.
