Do girls learn Taekwondo?
From the point of view of fitness, girls practicing Taekwondo can make their bodies fit and symmetrical, and have different weight loss effects according to different intensities. From the perspective of self-defense, most girls are thin, so they are not suitable for learning Sanda or boxing, or the effect is not good after learning. Taekwondo doesn't need practitioners to be too strong, as long as they are agile, which is more practical for girls.
Various kicking, stretching and coordinated arm movements in Taekwondo can exercise children's muscle strength, and the elasticity of tendons, ligaments and muscles can also be improved, thus exercising children's flexibility and coordination. Taekwondo is a sport that pays great attention to "spirit". On the one hand, it can cultivate children's initiative and perseverance, which is very helpful for the establishment of children's self-confidence.
The benefits of girls learning Taekwondo
1. can improve physical fitness.
Taekwondo has certain requirements for physical fitness, so in the process of continuous study and practice of Taekwondo, the body can be exercised and the physical fitness will be improved. In addition, because Taekwondo is based on the leg method, the exercise function of Taekwondo is more obvious in the legs.
2. It has a certain self-defense function.
In Taekwondo, the leg method accounts for about 70%, and the boxing method is generally based on prevention and blocking. Based on this limitation of Taekwondo, the nature of attack and defense of Taekwondo is not perfect, and its advantage is not great in dangerous situations. But if you practice Taekwondo for a long time, your coordination sensitivity will be improved and your legs will be well exercised. When your opponent has no absolute advantage and you are not controlled, you can still rely on your agility to escape. Therefore, if you learn Taekwondo well, it still has a certain self-defense effect.
Other activities and suggestions
If you want to learn self-defense sports, it is recommended to choose sports with both offensive and defensive skills, such as karate and Sanda, which are more comprehensive than Taekwondo. But the self-defense of fighting sports is not very safe. After all, there is a great disparity in strength, so I suggest you exercise and run more at ordinary times to strengthen your physique. In addition, taekwondo and other sports are easy to grow muscles, and girls can massage their legs after practice if they mind.
