Question & Answer

What’s the difference between Sport Martial Arts, and Combat Martial Arts?

We do not teach Sport Arts at Lifeskills Martial Arts. Sport martial arts have many different things to offer, but there is no substitute for the Art of Living. Sport martial arts prepare you for a single occurrence, a competition, tournament, organized fight, test, etc. A Complete Martial Arts combines the physical, psychological, and emotional teachings, honed by warriors and passed down through quality instructors, evolving through time. At Lifeskills Martial Arts, we give you the tools to not only feel safe but to be safe day-to-day, comfortable with who you are, aware of the world around you, and prepared for everyday stressful situations, ranging from unhealthy relationships to unplanned physical confrontations.
