A Professional School

When you want to learn A LOT more than just kicking and punching, you need to train Martial Arts in a focused, professional school like Horsens Selvforsvar Klub. Even though it is given in Martial Arts, unlike Martial Sport, that you learn war-like techniques, learning how to harm other people is not the only thing that you learn in the professional school. You also learn about personal development. Personal development is something the instructors in Horsens Selvforsvar Klub work very hard at to help their students acquire, not because they feel the need to coddle them, but because they know that when you develop yourself, that many doors start to open.

Self-Esteem
 

The whole purpose of developing oneself as a person is to build, improve and then maintain one's self-esteem. Self-esteem, according to the Dictionary, is: a "satisfaction with who you are and with what you do." This explanation is perhaps a little misleading since it does not take into account how one's environment is and how that affects one. Self-esteem is therefore the ability to not be influenced by others' views about oneself, one's thoughts or actions. People with high self-esteem are able to accept that other people share and or totally disagree with their opinions. Someone who has high self-esteem understands that winning is certainly not everything, but performing at one's personal best is – regardless of the outcome.

Believe in yourself and
achieve everything!

Exceeding One's Limits
 

Pain is all in the mind.

Through regular training in Horsens Selvforsvar Klub, you are challenged to surpass your own limits in regard to what you believe you are capable of doing – both physically and mentally. Because you are supported in your decisions and helped to achieve the goals you have set for yourself, your self-esteem grows. Rather than belittling the students ability, in the professional school their efforts are complimented, which thus supports their self-esteem, which is an outward manifestation of what the student directly thinks about themselves and their abilities. In other words, the more the student achieves, advances, improves and succeeds in his own eyes and is recognized for it, the more his self-esteem grows.

Recognition
 

The school's teaching staff works very hard, through the use of many educational tools, at finding the best way to support each student. Common to all students is that they are recognized for their efforts. Many students experience progress physically, becoming more coordinated, more flexible, becoming faster, getting in better shape, getting better at keeping their balance and so on. There are also many students who experience success by improving themselves psychologically, by trusting themselves more, by concentrating more, by improving their self-discipline, by feeling like a part of a larger community, by gaining an improved ability to focus, by taking responsibility and by developing themselves as a leader. All these benefits and many more, help to build the students' self-esteem, especially when they learn how each benefit can be used in their everyday lives.

"Great job!" goes a long way!

Easier to Defend Yourself

Personal development in the professional Martial Arts school is an easy way to be able to defend oneself. The increased self-esteem you get from regular training can be seen out on the streets. When you have large amounts of self-esteem, you walk with a brisk tempo with your head held high and an awareness around you, which is disconcerting to a potential assailant. Another way great self-esteem protects you is by deflating various confrontations. When someone tries to force their opinion on you, people with high self-esteem are capable of walking away from potentially dangerous situations, rather than getting agitated and arguing over the difference of opinions. And let us not forget how the physical self-defense abilities the student has learned also support the student to not need to fight, just to show that they are right. Knowing that you can defend yourself is enough for the student with high self-esteem, whereas people with low self-esteem will often feel pressure to prove how good they are, so as not to lose face. Train Martial Arts in Horsens Selvforsvar Klub, a professional school, and build your self-esteem while learning to protect yourself out on the streets.
