At Summit Martial Arts We believe that Martial Arts is not simply a physical activity, a style name, or a fad. Our belief is that if you are going to practice Real Martial Arts; not buy a belt, not Martial Fighting, not Martial Sport, not Martial fitness, but an Authentic Martial Arts, then you must also be learning to discipline your mind! The Martial Arts at their core were conceived as a way of helping student achieve higher levels of discipline of both their Mind, Body and Spirit. The intent was to use the art to create a person that that derived benefit in all areas of life; not just the one in a thousand chance of physical conflict! These benefits include better concentration, better discipline, better balance, and a more peaceful attitude toward others. In short, real Martial Arts should help you become a happier more effective human being; not just teach you how to fight.

Mental Strength

Traditional principles – such as indomitable spirit and perseverance – stress the importance of fighting through preconceived limits. Discipline might be the biggest trait that leads to success in martial arts. Knowing you have a challenge in front of you and developing the discipline needed to achieve that is an important life skill that will translate to all other areas of your life.
Another important aspect of martial arts for adults is feeling, accepting and controlling your emotions. By practicing at Summit Martial Arts you will feel anger, fear, frustration and anxiety, in small doses at some point. Learning how to deal with these emotions will help you grow mentally. This will also help in everyday life with how you deal with others, from workplace discussions to family disagreements.

Many issues of mental health are helped by fitness alone, but the martial arts adds a lot of benefits. Adults are goal-oriented and exploring that side of our human nature is important for our happiness.

Social Life
In adulthood, it can be very tough for some to find peers with mutual interests and outlooks. Martial arts for adults is a great place to meet new people, from all walks of life, and the shared dedication to their art can help bond people. As confidence grows you naturally start to develop more interests and meet more people outside the dojo. Many people develop Lifelong friendships the dojo; going through difficult training – such as belt testing – can really help create social bonds between friends. Partners develop real respect for each other, and become part of the same team.
Break bad habits and developing good habits
Self-Discipline and self-control are lauded as great reasons for children to participate in martial arts, but adults often experience even greater benefits. It’s not unusual for a martial artist to credit his or her training with being able to finally quit smoking, recover from substance abuse, or eat healthier.
Sometimes the added confidence, self-discipline, stress relief, and increased energy can add up to huge benefits at home or in the workplace. Professional careers have had a similar trajectory as your martial arts development. The two disciplines are not connected, but that sense of focus and purpose while training has helps students progress in the workplace.
Balance
Balance is usually associated with softer arts like tai chi, but training in any qualty martial art can help. Arts that train sweeps and throws tend to be especially effective for improving balance, as are styles with a heavy focus on kicking.
Improved reflexes and coordination
Most beginning martial artists expect to drop some weight, improve cardiovascular health, and build strength, but many are surprised the first time they catch the soap they drop in the shower. While that’s a somewhat silly example, having that coordination and the faster reflexes can help in many areas of life, from playing sports to driving more safely.
Motivation
It’s not unusual to see someone take up marital arts and then suddenly make significant progress in a goal they’ve had for years, such as quitting smoking or eating healthier. It can happen for a lot of reasons, but one common reason is because their training provides some extra motivation.
