It’s that time of year again: a time for many of us to create, and eventually give up on, our New Year’s Resolutions. It’s a tale as old as time…

…But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Some of the reasons that so many of us give up on our resolutions is because they are too generic, difficult to implement, and we simply do not care as much as we think we care in order to change our lives. The thing about resolutions is that they’re a great idea, but there’s often no accountability, no energy for real change, and no specific and easy to implement way to do it.

With that in mind, let’s talk about how and why Tae Kwon Do can help you reach ALL of your resolutions.

The Most Common New Years Resolutions and How They Relate to Tae Kwon Do

While, in theory, there can be a near unlimited number of resolutions, the most common include some or all of the following:

• Be in Better Health
• Manage Your Mental Health
• Spend Time With Family
• Be More Confident
• Feel Better Physically
• Take On a New Hobby

Whether your goal is to manage your weight, play with your kids more, create a better work/life balance, or even succeed more at work, they all generally relate to those goals.

Tae Kwon Do can help with all of them:

• Be in Better Health – Tae Kwon Do burns considerable calories, improves cardiovascular health, improves balance, and helps create more flexibility. All of these are helpful as you get older.
• Manage Your Mental Health – Tae Kwon Do’s focus on discipline, support, and calmness (as well as the psychiatric benefits of exercise) all make TKD a sport that is better for your overall mental wellbeing.
• Spend Time With Family – We see many people that join with their whole family, allowing you to engage in an activity with your kids and enjoy the martial arts together. It’s a great way to bond with your family and do a shared activity.
• Be More Confident – In addition to the mental health and physical benefits, confidence is a requirement of Tae Kwon Do. You are expected and trained to yell, punch/kick hard, feel like you can defend yourself, and more. It’s something you can take with you to your work life.
• Feel Better Physically – Not only will you be in better health, but the flexibility and balance that is taught with Tae Kwon Do typically help people reduce their aches and pains associated with age related stiffness.

And of course, if you’re looking for a new hobby, Tae Kwon Do is right there. You can learn something new while taking care of yourself and all your resolutions in the process.

Lastly, one of the reasons that people give up their resolutions is because it’s hard to motivate yourself to do them on your own. But because TKD pushes the idea of teamwork and accountability, you are much more likely to commit and get the results you were hoping for.
