Martial Arts, From a Relevant Perspective

Guest post by: Farhad Dordar

Article Overview: While it is possible to open a dojo with some punching bags, hand targets, a few jump-ropes and seedy business sense, martial arts is an ancient practice which, in the right hands, can offer a whole lot more to a student. Read on to see how we have not only accomplished a program which can train world champions in martial arts, but have also achieved a complete, holistic experience which can improve your understanding of health, fitness and mental strength.

Martial Arts, From a Relevant Perspective

The Sport Kickboxing Federation is a complete martial arts program, offering more than just weapons, boxing, grappling and submissions training. We have a research team which tirelessly scours the past, present and future trying to compile all the relevant knowledge possible that can help you improve any personal quality which can be harnessed through martial arts. Qualities such as:

• Spiritual well-being
• Meditation
• Self-confidence
• Nutrition and proper diet
• Health, fitness and cardiovascular strength
• Knowledge of anatomy and physiology
• General understanding of life
• Goal-setting and having direction
• Discipline
• Social awareness
• Leadership and social prowess

The list goes on as indefinitely as our research does. There is so much to be gained in a martial arts class, that one should not settle for a make-shift program. With a founder such as Master Farhad Dordar, who has spent his entire life studying all areas of holistic well-being and fitness, becoming a world champion martial artist, and founding dojos all over the world, it's hard to expect anything less than the most comprehensive program available. There aren't many experiences out there, martial arts or otherwise, that allow you the opportunity to benefit from so much effort and content.

The staff works hard to provide you with a place where all your questions will be answered. The following is one small example of the type of information we think about and provide for you:

On individualism and martial arts

At times, individualism will become a subject of contemplation for those who have grown up in competitive societies. Though its presence is real, for many it can be a veiled aspect of our lives. We often believe so strongly in self-interest that our attitudes toward a life-experience will boil down to how personally beneficial it is, and no more.

Obliviously, we will then spend our lives chasing what we want and not what we are, all in an attempt to reach a level of recognition and reward which we have assumed for ourselves. A sequestered career enriched with artificial camaraderie yet devoid of any true respect.

Often times when someone has a talent which they share exclusively for monetary gains or social favours, they are scrutinized, causing the value in their ability to become a source of distance between them and their peers.

The alternative is the simple choice we make to serve respect, which is an essential component of a true relationship between two individuals. Show respect by using your talents to help those around you.

The first thing that a new martial-arts student will notice when they enter a dojo is that the students and the instructors will bow to one-another. This is because the instructors have been trained to selflessly share values, which on a character level will enrich the lives of the students, and the students learn how to show their appreciation for the instructor doing so by bowing. The instructor bows as well because he was once at the level of his students and he respects the journey of each individual in the classroom as much as he does his own.

The students learn how to demonstrate respect as a part of their training in order to educate themselves on its importance in a healthy relationship with their peers.

Once we learn how to show respect for the values we have been given, we can begin to respect others for their own values, and once we learn to respect others, we can begin to garner respect for ourselves in others.

Someone who selflessly shares their talents will inspire many people to respect them for who they are. This is because we are so used to being compensated for our efforts that it takes a degree of compassion for your fellow man in order to share your resources with them altruistically. When people see that you value them enough to reach out to them in this manner, they are more likely to regard you with respect.

Our lives do not need to be calculated processes of gains and losses, leaving each seemingly human interaction behind as a mere business transaction. Rather, we can improve our lives by simply improving the lives of those around us. Helping people feel good about who they are is a great achievement and will inspire others to do the same. The net effect is the sense of contentment a person gets from building a positive persona that is congruent with whom they are. This is exactly the type of persona that a true leader requires in order to create a strong creative energy between himself and his pupils.

People are more likely to listen intently to someone who they feel is there as an opportunity than they are to someone who is a commodity.

These principles are what have allowed me to share my vast experience and passion for martial-arts with so many lives in such an effective manner. I am here because I love what I do, I believe in what I do, and I wish all my students the same.

Re: Keyword Selection - [quote="JackieGold":1rhnmgte]This is really important - it can be easy to get lost in how well you are ranking for certain keywords and lose sight of the fact that those keywords aren't even pertinent to your business.[/quote:1rhnmgte] Hi Jackie, That is definitely something to look out for. I have seen many times where people are ranking in the top 3 for a particular keyword, and they're very excited. However, after taking a look, that keyword either gets no traffic (or very little) or is irrelevant to their site. Relevant keywords that get a decent monthly search volume are the ones to go after.
