Have you ever watched a movie filled with martial arts and thought, "Wow, that looks cool if I tried it." The truth is, anyone can master martial arts if they have the will and commitment! To learn martial arts, all you need is openness. mind and willingness to work hard for as long as it takes to achieve the goal of becoming a professional martial artist!
Step
Step 1. Change your mindset and the way you view life
Remember, martial arts doesn't teach you how to fight like kickboxing does. Instead, martial arts are learned to train your body and mind to be able to move in a balanced rhythm with the burning passion of a fighter.
Step 2. Take special classes to develop your martial arts skills
Unfortunately, usually you will first be asked to choose a type or style of martial arts. When choosing a class, make sure you look for a martial arts instructor who is truly dedicated, and willing to teach each technique step by step from the most basic moves. Trust me, your comfort and knowledge of the technique being studied is far more important than how prestigious the style or type of martial arts you choose. Have you managed to find an instructor who can add to your martial arts knowledge while helping you find a specific character? If so, feel free to discover your martial style preferences and develop them.
Step 3. Change your perspective
Don't let one style you learn define who you are in the world of martial arts. Learn as many types, styles, and techniques of self-defense as you can; don't hate or be reluctant to learn a certain style for any reason. In other words, don't limit your knowledge because it will weaken your mind.
Step 4. Learn the different types of self-defense
Remember, everyone has different abilities. That's why, the martial arts that are suitable for your friend may not be suitable for you. Therefore, do not be afraid to experiment and find the type of martial arts that is best for you.
Step 5. Develop your skills and make sure you practice every day
The most important factor for mastering martial arts is practice. Therefore, make sure you always practice, no matter how simple the type of exercise.
Step 6. Be patient
Generally, it takes 3 to 6 months of intense training to see positive progress in your martial arts skills. In fact, even a professional martial artist takes years to master the BASIC TECHNIQUES of the type of martial arts they learn. But believe me, once you master the basics, your body and brain will naturally find it easier to understand the principles and techniques of more difficult martial arts.
Step 7. Begin to explore the martial arts technique you are learning and find your own style
Free yourself! Don't practice all the techniques you just learned. Instead, try to develop it according to your character. Although a beginner usually finds it difficult to explore, at least take the time to practice martial arts skills in a free style. In addition, prioritize humility! Don't use martial arts to show off your skills, or attack someone who isn't making a fuss. Don't try to be a master of martial arts. Instead, let the martial arts slowly enter your life. Over time, you will be able to develop self-defense skills that are artificial naturally, or even natural martial arts skills that are not natural.

- Be wary of people who teach martial arts with a money orientation. Make sure you find an instructor who really wants and loves to teach martial arts! If not, you will most likely have to deal with an instructor who is not aiming to improve your skills. If possible, don't study self-defense at a franchise school!
