Life skills and character development. Are they things you work on? Tim and Steve tell you when it comes to martial arts training it's not about physical techniques. It's about mental and emotional strength. It's about your emotional intelligence — your EQ. They talk about:

• Respect for oneself and others

• Perseverance and resilience

• Honesty and integrity

• Self-awareness

• Self-control

These traits build strong relationships. They also help you to overcome adversity and to make ethical decisions. By cultivating both life skills and character development, you can lead a more fulfilled life and make positive contributions to your community.
