Boxing , krav maga, karate ... we are more and more numerous to put ourselves to combat sports. Not easy to find the right balance between our pro and personal lives, and stressful pace of life requires, practicing a combat sport helps us to let off steam and take a step back on ourselves.
Combat sports, a new way to consider them
If the very philosophy of combat sports has not changed, it is our vision of them that has evolved. We do not practice boxing or krav maga only to acquire reflexes defense, but rather as an outlet. These combat sports also allow us to work all the muscles of our body and thus shape our silhouette while having fun. And for the more shy, they also help us to gain confidence in ourselves. In short, they are no longer just sports for men, big guys and big guys. On the contrary, combat sports are feminized: high-end gyms grow like mushrooms in the big cities and you practice boxing, krav maga or self defense à la carte with a team of coaches sensitized to the practice of combat sports by women. What help us to pass the course.
Combat sports and martial arts, same fight
At present, the barrier separating combat sports and martial arts is tiny. Indeed, whether it is one or the other, they are practiced today especially for its physical and psychological well-being. However, at the base, the combat sport and the martial art do not have the same vocation. Martial arts are war arts in which opponents use techniques to hurt or kill each other. There is a more playful approach to combat sports. As the name implies, it is above all sports governed by a set of rules.
But in any case, it is above all the way one has to practice the discipline that determines today whether it is a martial art or rather a combat sport.
