Is self defence important ???

Martial Arts teaches ability to Save ourselves and also teaches Discipline

Manier times it happens that kids get bullied by their elder schoolmates even college students get bullied by their elder students, Girls get harrased by strangers in public, In this situation Martial Arts might actually help to protect yourself.

 

Personally I've trained for 12 years since 2008, I started training because I was beaten up by my friend and got a severe injury on my groin, i had no idea how to defend myself in such situations, My other friends made fun of me because i felt shy even to talk to others and i joined karate class. because of this i gained my confidence, I've Played more than 15 Tournaments till now including 4 National and 5 State and secured atleast A Bronze medal. 

 

My Instructer always thought me about the sportsman spirit, accept the defeat and learn from your mistakes, use your ability for something useful rather than hitting anyone without any reason.

After that incident no one ever messed with me, In college it helped me to defend myself from my seniors who tried ragging me and my friends.
