Until quarantine （隔離期）ends，we are left picturing what physical effort we might make：working out at the gym，playing on a competitive sports team，swimming，biking，or rock climbing.However，we don't often think of martial arts as a possible activity；instead，we rule it out because we think it's dangerous，uncommon，and even，impossible.Martial arts aren't considered a sport，right？
    Well，here's some good news：you're wrong!Martial arts is much more common than people think，and you can start learning at any age.Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape（both physically and mentally）.And it's much less scary and much less difficult than it's usually portrayed as in movies，so worry not，you don't need to be the karate kid to have a blast!Let's look at what you can usually expect from martial arts of any style.
    Good martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your limbs，sometimes even your breathing too.Think about it：when you leave the gym，your mental state has improved and you are much calmer.This is because you've only paid attention to one activjye.aiy.It is a great way to clear your head，and practice can help you learn to stay more focused in general（say，when you start your schoolwork afterwards）.
    Long series of choreographed（編排好的）moves（including when to breath in and out）called forms are often described as "moving meditation（冥想）；" they're meditative in the same way doing repeated moves is，but much more so.Martial arts practice can be as slow or as intense as you want，but it's always extremely engaging.
    Martial arts also improve your coordination，and greatly improves your posture.I have personally seen students go from slouching and knocking things over to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
    There are many styles and countless subtypes and mix-ups of martial arts.Whichever one appeals to you，know that all of them are good choices，competitive or not.
