Happy 2019! With the New Year comes a list of resolutions for most people, and that may likely include a workout routine. You may have attempted (perhaps unsuccessfully) to keep a health-focused resolution in the past in order to reach your fitness goals and have more energy. But, there always seems to be some “reason” most plans fall through.
One of the main reasons people drop their New Year resolutions, is the lack of a challenge or lack of interest. At the SMA Centre, we have a number of different Chinese martial arts styles and dynamic training, to keep you challenged, interested and will help you keep your New Year resolutions. So, here are three top reasons why training in martial arts is the best New Year’s resolution to start and carry through.
-
Learn a new skill and enrich your life
A lot of people make it a point to learn a new skill every year, so why not try martial arts? Learn self-defence, master the striking techniques in San Thai and empower yourself with the grappling skills of BJJ. Or, if you like variety, Wuxian® Combat developed by the Head Coach Shuaimeng Lui and exclusively offered at SMA Centre, will help prepare you for the unpredictability of the real world – no two classes are the same! And there are more martial arts styles offered so if knowledge is what you seek in the New Year, add the knowledge of martial arts to enrich your life.

Martial arts will push your limits as a human. It takes tremendous discipline and patience and you’ll discover a great deal about yourself during training.

It has tremendous health benefits and can get you in the best shape of your life very quickly.
