Northern Virginia is an affluent area, with many safe neighborhoods. However, parts of this densely populated suburb of DC have a pretty high crime rate. For this reason, residents may want to take advantage of the many self defense classes Arlington VA offers. There are other reasons, as well, that this sort of course can be good for adults, children, and teens.
Martial arts schools are very popular with parents and children. Many of these institutions offer after-school programs for all ages from kindergarten to high school. This sure beats having kids go home alone to play video games or run around the streets with their peers with no adult oversight.
Many parents these days, both couples and singles, are still at work when school lets out. Knowing where their children are and that they are happy and safe is invaluable. The fact that it's become harder to provide physical outlets for kids and for teens - even those who don't willingly participate in team sports - has made enrolling children in after-school programs more popular.
It's entirely possible in today's world to be confronted by hostility on the street or even at home when assailants are bent on robbery or assault. Martial arts offer one way to confront and, if necessary, repel physical aggression. Other disciplines focus on instinctive and reflex reactions, teaching students how to use these responses to deter or battle aggression. Fear management is another skill that is important in times of danger.
Adults can benefit from lessons of this kind, as well. Many people have never faced true hostility, but the knowledge that this is becoming increasingly possible makes many people nervous. Learning manners is a whole other aspect of interacting with society that used to be routinely taught by parents. Basic social skills are so lacking today that even major corporations have seminars on polite behavior.
Physical fitness is another benefit. Many moves that signal a readiness to defend oneself or are designed to discourage an attacker require balance, strength, and precision. The exercises that work toward these goals can be strenuous and intense. Scientists know that regular exercise is good for physical health, causes the release of 'feel-good' hormones into the bloodstream, and is a great stress reducer. Also, toned muscles help with weight control, give a more pleasing body shape, and help posture, which is important to a confident presence.
Familiar terms are Ju-jitsu, Tae-Kwon-Do, and Tai chi, but Aikido, Kendo, and Iaido are other martial arts. For those who love competition, there are classes in fencing, kickboxing, boxing, and karate. You will find centers listed as studios or 'dojos'. The internet is great for learning about different disciplines and seeing what's offered near you.
Some of the disciplines are for unarmed combat, while others use a variety of hand weapons. Many of the customer reviews say that classes are great for learning to defend oneself, to get a good work-out geared to personal ability, and to have fun.
