Why Nonathlete Shouldn’t Training Hard Like Pro Athlete

People often asking these questions:

- "How many medical fee spend by Boxing & Muay Thai fighters to fix their broken nose & teeth?"

- "How Wushu Taolu & Capoeira freestyle dancers can do acrobatic jumps without worry about breaking their own legs?"

- "Why those athletes love to destroying their each other bodies & wasting their money for medical fees like that?"

Pro athletes training hard for competition, they also get paid monthly as pro athlete (this is their job right? Paid for training and competing, no wonder). They are paid to doing various extreme training like sparring fight in Boxing or acrobatic jumps in Wushu Taolu.

Injuries are also often happen in training and competition, this is also part of their risky job.

"How about their expensive medical fee? Did their parent or rich family paid it?"

Pro athletes are different with nonathletes (ordinary people), sponsor and organization (their bosses who pay them monthly to work as pro athletes) are also support their medical fee. Whenever they injury during training or tournament, their bosses will pay the hospital fee.

"How about nonathletes? Who will pay their medical fee?"

No one!! Because they have no sponsors right? Of course.

So the conclusion is, nonathletes should training martial art as light daily exercise and just for fun. Without high risk training like sparring fight or acrobatic.

There are lot of martial art clubs that created for nonathletes, their training is very simple and safe like daily aerobic without any dangerous sparring fight or acrobatic. For examples: Cardio Boxing, Cardio Muay Thai, Aerobic Savate, Self Defense Jeet Kune Do, Aerobic Karate and more.

As ex-pro Sport Karate fighter team who turned into Self Defense Kungfu & Cardio Kickboxing coach for nonathletes myself, of course i knew everything about martial art.

Back when i was in high school, i joined the Sport Karate team and had the experience of helping the students who were injured during training. I helped the coach to take the injured student (usually dislocated jaw, sprained ankle, broken nose, etc.) to the doctor and then watched the coach take care of the fee receipt to ask the sponsor/organization to replace the cost of doctor (the coach pay it first, then the sponsor/organization replaced his money later).

When i graduated from high school and went to college, i tried Aikido at a pro dojo (Shodokan). At first, it was fun to play wrestling-like sparring like Steven Seagal - Nina Williams - Metal Gear Solid 3, but then one day i got injured after slammed down by my sparring mate.

Fortunately, it's not serious, i was taken by the coach to the doctor, massaged a little and for 2-3 days my calf recovered on its own. But as a university student in a busy major (Psychology bray!! Very busy study schedule) it is really annoying because it disturbs my school days.

Finally, i was invited by my friends to move to Kenpo (Hakkyoku style, using lot of elbow strikes developed from Baji Quan, like the moves of Akira Yuki & Leo Kliesen) and then cross training at Kickboxing (Adhitada style from India). Because those 2 dojos were accepts the general people (nonathletes) who want a light cardio martial arts training without any extreme sparring fight or high risk acrobats, zero accident case (and their training fee are much much much cheaper, because non-athletes don't need sparring gears or expensive mats).
