Bring Out the Karate Kid in You. Learning a martial art such as karate has real value.
By taking up a martial art, you will be learning self-defence skills. In addition, you learn
self-discipline besides improving your ability to focus. Practising martial arts will help you
to develop balance, stamina, coordination, strength, as well as bring together your body
and mind.

Take Up the Mambo. Dancing is not only fun, but also has many benefits. Of course,
when you dance you are getting a physical workout. In addition, dancing reduces
stress and increases the feel good hormones in your body. Another benefit of dancing
is that it increases mental ability, which means that it makes you smarter.
