" Those who practice martial arts are more attentive and focused than those who have never trained before. A study also found that the longer a person trains, the better his or her cognitive growth. The study suggests that the heightened mental sharpness demonstrated by those who have previously trained in martial arts was a long-term effect that lasted for years." says Taekwondo Master Gaurav Negi.
Martial arts do teach fighting techniques and practical ways to defend yourself, but they also teach a variety of mental attributes that translate well into other aspects of life like:
Discipline
Perseverance
