Martial Arts Can Keep Older People Fit

Do you want to improve your fitness?

Martial arts training can help older people stay in shape. Older people can sometimes settle into a sedentary lifestyle. A body in rest tends to stay in rest, while a body in motion tends to stay in motion! Martial arts training can help keep you moving and improve your balance, flexibility, and reflexes. You don’t have to choose a physically demanding style like jujutsu to get these health benefits! Slow, precise styles like iaido can keep you moving and help you gain more control of your body while being easier on the cardiovascular system.

Why Older People Should Study Martial Arts

When you think of martial arts, you may imagine a dojo full of men in their 20s-30s. This isn’t the case! There are plenty of women and older people who study martial arts. Preconceived notions like this might inhibit older people from beginning martial arts training. 

Here are some reasons you should start!

Good for mental health – Exercise creates endorphins that can boost your mood and relieve stress. Learning new moves and skills can help keep your brain sharp and raise your self-esteem!

Good for personal development – You may have built your life, career, and family, but that doesn’t mean you’re done! You can always create new goals and build yourself up. Martial arts can help you become more mindful, focused, and a better version of yourself!
