2. Some people fight because they want to know how tough
they are. If you are always getting beat up in a fight that
means you are not enough tough. If you want to survive and
last long in a fight without getting easily beaten up, you
should learn self defense or martial arts. If you learn
martial arts, you can also use it to protect or defend
yourself from harm. Don’t be discouraged on the thinking
that martial arts is nothing but fighting and hurting other
people. Martial arts can develop lots of things in a person
like; it can develop physical strength and condition like
health. It can also develop the personality of a person.
Martial arts trainer teaches their students not to use
martial arts into a bad way but to protect their selves

on
How to be a tough
Martial Artist
4. Right Martial Arts School
You need to consider the martial arts school you want to
join. You need to enroll in a martial arts school that has
a good reputation and operating for many years. It is also
to avoid wasting money into a school that has low quality
service or training. If you don’t want to spend too much
time searching for a martial arts school, you can ask your
friends if they know some martial arts school that
provide high quality training and has a good facility. You
can also perform a research in the internet of all the
martial arts school near your place. You also need to
know if the trainers are professional.
5. Don’t be late on class
If you already choose your martial arts school and you
are already enrolled, you need to be at school in time and
don’t be late. If you are always late in your martial arts
class, you will definitely miss some martial arts lesson.
Remember that you enroll in a martial arts school to
learn, so always remember the time of your martial arts
class.
6. Listen to your trainer
You should also need to listen to your trainer even for
the small details that your trainer says. You need to pay
attention on every discussion especially when your trainer
is discussing a certain technique. Every single details
whether it is small or big, it will surely help on learning
martial arts. There are some people who don’t pay
attention on small details that is why they happen to hurt
their sparring partner or classmates when performing a
certain technique. When you listen to your trainer, you
already show respect on him. You can also improve your
listening skills when your trainer is discussing.
7. Let your classmates help you
When you want to know or master a certain technique,
forget about your pride. If your classmates offer help,
you must accept it. Having a good relationship with your
classmates can help to improve quickly. You won’t be able
to improve fast if you are doing it alone without the help
of others. You also need to help others if they are having a
hard time mastering a certain technique. You can give them
some tips on how to perform it. Remember that you will
spend a long time with your classmates in your martial
arts school so you need to get along with them.
8. Training
If you want to be a strong martial artist, you need to
improve your speed and your physical strength. If you
want to take down your opponent in a few punch or kicks,
you should improve your arms and legs strength. You can
go into a fitness gym or if you don’t have nothing to do at
home, you can stay in your martial arts school and use the
training equipments. Martial art is not all about different
techniques, you also need power and speed. Power is for
hitting opponent and speed for evading the opponents
attack.
9. Proper Diet
You also need to consider the food that you eat. You will
have a problem performing a certain technique if your
body weight increase. You can go into a nutritionist to
know the right food you eat. You also need to be healthy;
you must have a balance diet. If you eat a large amount of
meal every day, your martial arts training will mean
nothing. For example, you can perform a high kick and then
after a few weeks of eating large amount of meal you gain
weight. You will surely have a problem performing that
high kick of yours. So if you have a proper training, you
also need to have a proper diet.
10. Sparring with your friends
If you are getting bored with the punching bag, you can ask
your friends to do sparring with you. In that way you can
practice your techniques (be careful not to hurt each
other). If you have a friend that learns a different martial
arts style go and ask him to be your sparring partner. If
your friend’s martial arts is karate and you do tae kwon
do, you will surely learn some tips on how to counter his
martial arts style. You and your friend can share some
tips about your fighting style.
11. Running in a fight doesn’t mean that you are coward and
scared to fight. It just means that you don’t want violence
or trouble. If you don’t have any choice but to fight, fight!
But always remember that if there is a chance, you should
avoid fighting. As mentioned above, your trainer will
definitely teach you how to use martial arts in a good
way. If you want to know about BJJ, Muay Thai, Wrestling
or If you want your kids to know martial arts, I
recommend Evolution Gym because they have a good
facility and provides high quality training.
