It is a fact that this set of techniques have been passed through generations for centuries to the West, having its origin in the East. Although this practice is very old, it can be advantageous to our health, if it is done correctly.

Firstly, we all know that practicing sports improves our mental health and our cognitive ability. In addition to these benefits, martial arts bring another advantage: self-defense. This weapon can be used both for good and for evil.
