Why learn a martial art?

These days, most people practice martial arts for fitness and self-defense. Undoubtedly, training in a martial art is the most effective way to improve strength, stamina, flexibility, and mental concentration. It is a great way to burn calories and build lean muscle while also learning how to defend yourself. It also does wonders for your focus, perseverance, and temperament. No amount of time at the gym can possibly compare to the benefits you receive from studying a martial art!   

Perhaps most importantly, learning a martial art is a lot of fun!

Why learn a martial art at our gym?

For us at Body & Seoul, learning a martial art is a way of life. We are eager to share with you our passion and knowledge for the martial arts. We want each of our members to view the gym as his/her home as a martial artist. It is a small international community in itself, with students from many nations and cultures; it is our love and practice of martial arts that brings us together.

 In addition to regular classes, we will periodically hold weekend workshops covering a wide range of material. Some of these topics include Self-defense Techniques, "Boot Camp" Conditioning, Yoga Postures, Women's Grappling Techniques, Weapons Training, Sparring, and much more. We will also be hosting seminars led by some of the top competitors in MMA, Kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These workshops and seminars are open to the public and you are welcome to attend even if you are not a member of our gym. Please send us an email at [...] if you would like to be included in our mailing list notifying you of upcoming seminars. 

Keep in mind that it is NEVER too late to start learning a martial art or practicing yoga. We encourage you to have an open mind. It doesn't hurt to try it out! Do not be intimidated if you are a total beginner and have no experience, because you will soon discover that learning a martial art and practicing yoga are two of the best things you can do for your body & soul. ;-)
