Health

Good health should be important to everyone, especially martial artists. To be able to train effectively, you must be in good health. To be a top competitor, you must be in good health. To be a good instructor or school owner, you must be in good health. Good health means you are less susceptible to injury and, when injured, it means shorter recovery time. Good health means a better life.
