Among the many sports and activities to choose from, martial arts are becoming increasingly popular for health and fitness. Due to the different nature of the various styles of martial arts, injuries are not uncommon. Though there have been studies on the injury rates of several martial art styles, there have been none regarding Choi Kwang Do (CKD), a non-competitive martial art with relaxed and fluid movements designed to promote health and fitness for people of all ages.
The purpose of this study was to examine the rate of injury for adults training in CKD to find out whether this is a safe style of martial art for adults. This study found the prevalence, causes, severity, and types of injuries from CKD practitioners around the world through an online survey targeting adults (n=122), aged 18 or older, with varying years of training experience. The annual rate of injury was 11.73 for every 100 CKD practitioners. There was no correlation between the length of training experience and injury. Training frequency and duration had no significant relationship with injury rates. A significant positive relationship between training intensity and injury existed (P=0.009).
Self Defense for Children

Being able to protect yourself from physical harm is a basic human right that should be accessible to everyone, including children. Self-defense is often an overlooked skill, though it is important to ensure that your children can defend themselves if the situation arises.
Through Choi Kwang Do, children can learn many techniques and how to properly execute them. CKD and other forms of martial arts can teach children when and where to apply their knowledge. Children learn that their skills aren’t a tool used to inflict harm on others, but rather, to defend themselves against any and all attacks.
School bullying has been a problem for years. While a huge effort to stop bullying in our educational systems has started, the truth is it will always exist.
Consistent Exercise and Reducing Anxiety
Posted: July 18, 2019
Through school, work, family or other situations, we all have our own stressors and anxieties. The physical benefits of exercise have long been noted, but consistent exercise can have mental benefits as well.
Studies show that exercise is very effective at reducing fatigue, improving alertness and concentration and at enhancing overall cognitive function. This can be especially helpful when stress has depleted your energy or ability to concentrate.
Stress and anxiety are a normal part of life, but anxiety disorders, which affect 40 million adults, are the most common psychiatric illnesses in the U.S. The benefits of exercise may well extend beyond stress relief to improving anxiety and related disorders.
