Lastly, she discusses the challenges she has faced as a female martial artist and the importance of supporting and uplifting each other in the martial arts community. TAKEAWAYS * Martial arts can be mentally and physically challenging, but it also provides a sense of community and personal growth. * Delayed gratification is an important aspect of martial arts, as progress takes time and effort. * Different martial arts styles have different approaches, with traditional martial arts focusing on the spiritual aspect and sport-focused styles like Tae Kwon Do emphasizing competition. * The history of martial arts is rich and diverse, with different styles originating from various countries and cultures. * Martial arts can be a transformative experience, helping individuals develop discipline, confidence, and physical fitness. * Effective movement in martial arts involves a balance of power and softness. * The martial arts community is a supportive and compassionate space. * Female martial artists often face unique challenges and should be uplifted and supported.To contact Jay Schindler: Instagram: @jgirlcook TikTok: @jgirlcook YouTube: @jgirlcook
