Both going to the gym and learning a type of martial art provides physical and mental benefits. However they can also serve different purposes.

They complement one another, however they can take up your time, money and energy. So how to balance?

12. Why competition is good for us
We live in times where competition can often be frowned upon. Where we no longer foster and encourage competition as it may be at the harm of those who don’t excel. The reasons can be well intentioned as we want to ensure everyone feels good and are rewarded. However, we are of the belief that overall, competition is good. It makes us strive for more, teaches us to work towards something and to pursue excellence in order to really achieve a sense of fulfilment. It's a simple concept and has served our society well so far.
