See my mom says that her brother (that i never heard about in my life time) died because he did martial arts and i can%26#039;t join any classes. Now i know this isn%26#039;t true because no instructor is that cruel or lets children do dangerous thing (breaking breaks is what my mom said killed him). I want to do martial arts to condition my body, learn some skills, and teach some dudes a few things if they try to mess with me. Any ideas how to convince my mom. I NEED SERIOUS ANSWERS!!|||Well, I was fortunate that my father trained on Okinawa in Karate, so martial arts were encouraged by him from an early age. I started martial arts training when I was about 6 or 7 and have done them since then.
Do not be aggressive about it to her, that will only backfire. Be sure to tell her the benefits of martial arts, mainly self defense (do not use the %26quot;teach some dudes a thing or two%26quot; approach when stating your point) and health.
The goal of martial arts is NOT having to use them-but being fully capable to if the need ever arises. If someone calls you a name, just walk away. If you beat him to a pulp for calling you a name-you%26#039;ll be the one who suffers the consequences, not him.
However, if someone ever threatens you or your family-knowing martial arts can protect you and those you love.
Some arts you may consider are-
Jujitsu (not to be confused with Brazilian Jiu Jutsu)
Tae Kwon Do
Karate
These are fairly common martial arts in many areas that are sufficient for self defense.
By the way-I have never heard of ANYONE dying as a result of injuries from breaking bricks. The only way I could see this happening is if he broke them wrong and perhaps cut himself and it got infected or bled out.
Either way, do not get aggressive with your mother. She just doesn%26#039;t want you to get hurt doing martial arts-tell her that you are far more likely to suffer a bad injury as a result of NOT knowing martial arts.
The martial arts (when done correctly) also help in focus, which you can of course use in school, and impart a type of humulity that will (trust me on this one) keep you out of FAR fewer fights than any bravado will.|||convince her to let you box, many laypeople don%26#039;t consider boxing to be martial arts-
or wrestling, both (either) can give you a very very good base for striking (boxing) or grappling (greco, freestyle- unlikely to learn young, or folkstyle) wrestling or possibly judo.
these are all martial arts, but the common misconception that they are not (with the exception of judo- but because it is an olympic event you can play on this) martial arts can work for you.|||You can tell her that it would be good exercise for you. It improves coordination and focus. It is also good because it teaches you discipline and restraint. Also, having to work at mastering a skill helps to build character. It would also allow you to get out and meet new people. Socializing and learning to get along with new people is an important part of growing up. Just tell her you%26#039;ll avoid breaking bricks with your forehead and she should be fine with it.|||Your best bet is to actually take her to the dojo/dojang/whatever to show her that it isn%26#039;t that bad. Find a school that doesn%26#039;t do breaks or full contact sparring and odds are she%26#039;ll be reassured. If not, then just work out and get into really good shape instead. Trust me, being fit is important in any martial art, so you will still be developing yourself, even if you can%26#039;t take classes.|||just convince her that people are bad and u never know what could happen to u because things can happen and dont think that they wont happen 2 u. also i took taekwondo for a few years until i was a black belt its pretty hard but not too bad and tell her it teaches self discipline.|||Take her to an Aikido dojo, and show her that no bricks will be harmed.|||take her to a do jang or tell her its for self defense
