HONG IK MARTIAL ARTS OF FAIR LAWN- BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING

Benefits of Martial Arts Training

Parents often wonder if martial arts like Taekwondo really deliver on promises of better focus, fitness, and behavior. Peer-reviewed studies confirm these benefits, especially in traditional programs.

Aggression & Behavior

A 2017 meta-analysis (“Reducing aggression with martial arts: A meta-analysis of child and youth studies”) of 12 studies (507 kids aged 6–18) found traditional martial arts reduced aggression and externalizing behaviors more than modern combat sports.

At Hong Ik Martial Arts of Fair Lawn, bowing and principle-study guide reviews (including respect, self-control, and more) reinforce this respect-centered approach.
