Ladies in Martial Arts

When working in our academy Yarm Martial Arts Academy we find new students getting over their fear of coming into classes, one of the big problems. People have a miss conception about martial arts due to the publicity it receives. Like the movies, bad press and that you have to be a fighter to do the martial arts, also people going around shouting at each other.
For people to take such a an idea an not have an open mind means they are losing out.
Why can I say this? simple we have a lot of lady students who just love their martial arts training. They love the fun and friendly classes, the training can be a bit tough but not what they wouldn't expect, they are always smiling after class, feeling energised and learning new skills in their training. What motivates them is receiving their next belt when tested from time to time to encourage their development.
"I don't want to do belts," That's what we all the time from new adult students, "I just want to get fit," we agree say nothing and within three to four weeks of training that same person starts asking about belt tests, once people start something they want to see improvement and also hearing other adult students doing belt tests they want to join in.
We have no one student who comes just to get fit , they all want to learn and understand what the martial arts as to offer them personally.
So what can the martial arts offer?
Stamina, strength ,endurance, confidence,Flexibility,core building,stress busting,well being, energised for life.
So why don't more people take up martial arts because of the miss information they receive or see, it's about education and doing a kickboxing fitness programme just simple gets ladies doing the martial arts in some form an a chance to educate why people like you love the martial arts.
