[00:00:00] Hi, this is Rishabh and this is Vanita. Welcome to Connect The Dots podcast where we want to discuss facts of life
[00:00:07] To help the next generation some of the topics we will be discussing about here are
[00:00:12] parenting schooling talents life hacks new trends travel mindset and more
[00:00:18] Hello there welcome back to Connect The Dots podcast and today is I have a very very very interesting topic something that I personally love
[00:00:25] discussing about and
[00:00:27] I just thought I'll bring it to you know to our audience as well
[00:00:31] So I'm gonna get straight to the point and ask Rishabh a question that Rishabh most people think that martial arts is only about fighting
[00:00:39] But what is your take on that?
[00:00:42] so
[00:00:43] People might think martial art is just about fighting, but no it's not just about fighting
[00:00:51] People will say yeah martial arts about fighting, but no it can even
[00:00:56] put you in a meditative position and a very
[00:01:00] aware position where you feel safe secure and
[00:01:06] You feel like
[00:01:07] you're very
[00:01:10] You know safe
[00:01:11] So you don't have to prove yourself is what you say? Prove yourself
[00:01:15] So that also makes you not get triggered so easily correct? Yep
[00:01:20] So according to you
[00:01:22] According to you
[00:01:25] What exactly like do you think this you know a martial art could also be a way of life
[00:01:31] It could be a way of life if you practice it the right way
[00:01:35] So there are many approaches to it like some people focus on the sparring side of it
[00:01:40] Some people focus on the tournament side of it some people focus on the demonstration of technique side of it
[00:01:45] but I
[00:01:47] Feel that if a martial art is done in a holistic manner it helps you become mentally tough
[00:01:53] It makes you physically tough and it also makes you realize that
[00:01:58] You can't misuse the skills in the power that you have correct and
[00:02:03] Yeah, that's true and
[00:02:05] It even prepares you for the real world because the real world is not a place where you can play Barbies with
[00:02:13] The real world is a place where you need to make hard decisions
[00:02:19] So it prepares you for that also
[00:02:22] Yeah, so when you get more present with yourself
[00:02:26] when you start to live in the present your awareness expands and
[00:02:31] That brings about a completely different
[00:02:35] You know like side of peace and calmness within you and I think a martial art is definitely
[00:02:41] Not just about fighting, but it's more and beyond that and I hope this episode was interesting to you because
[00:02:50] I've been talking to a teacher lately and you know Rishabh has also been learning one form of it and
[00:02:55] It's been amazing to see how this is making a child not just
[00:03:01] physically mentally tough, but also independent responsible and you know like
[00:03:06] more
[00:03:08] Calm within you know themselves so
[00:03:11] I really suggest that if you are a girl or a boy martial art doesn't only
[00:03:16] You know mean only boys can do it, but I've seen girls do it
[00:03:20] What do you think about girls doing martial arts? What do you think? I think that's actually pretty useful. I think if it's
[00:03:27] actually girls need to use more martial arts than boys because
[00:03:33] Girls get into more trouble than boys
[00:03:36] Because there's a lot of other boys that come and try to hurt girls
[00:03:41] So that's why they need to know a martial art
[00:03:44] So do you think that girls have lesser power than boys because if you have girls also in your class
[00:03:49] So what do you think about them? No, that's not true at all
[00:03:53] In fact girls can be even more powerful than boys if you think about it in one way
[00:03:59] If they can practice it perfectly and if they're able to I mean perfection don't strive for perfection
[00:04:06] but strive for
[00:04:08] learning and
[00:04:10] Going through the process of it and if you're able to practice it well
[00:04:16] You can girls can even be much better than boys. Yeah, so I've seen it in with my own eyes in the shops class
[00:04:22] I've seen how powerful girls are when it comes to sparring or doing those kicks and punches and all
[00:04:28] They're actually no less so gone are the days when you know like in school
[00:04:33] I've heard many boys making fun of girls at your weaklings and we're like the boys and stuff
[00:04:38] So gone are those days so now it's like there's no difference between a girl and a boy
[00:04:44] Because both of them have the equal strength and power to you know, do whatever they want in life
[00:04:49] So I suggest that whether you have a daughter or a son
[00:04:52] It's nice if you could put them into some form of martial arts that it
[00:04:57] Holistically prepares them in every way to love themselves more and to also be, you know
[00:05:03] Peaceful and compassionate in the world
[00:05:05] So I hope that you like this episode if you liked it do share with your friends and over to the shop
