In regards to all sports, players need to have both physical and mental toughness. One of the most widely sought after quality from martial arts is self-discipline, and this trait alone can take anyone from being average, to being great. From the very first day, students in the martial arts are taught about self-discipline and how there are tasks a person should do without being told to do them. Besides learning about the importance of doing homework and household chores, students are expected to learn how to practice on their own. This teaches students that class or team practice isn’t enough training, and that they need to go above and beyond on their own time to reach their sporting goals.
