IMPACT OF MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING ENVIRONMENT ON COLLEGE STUDENTS' DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of martial arts training environments on the holistic development of university students. By integrating physical conditioning, mental resilience, and social interaction, martial arts establish a unique educational setting conducive to personal growth. The findings indicate significant improvements in self-discipline, stress management, social skills, and community engagement among students participating in martial arts. This research highlights the potential of martial arts training to complement traditional educational programs by fostering a balanced approach to development that encompasses cognitive, physical, and social dimensions, thereby offering a valuable tool for comprehensive growth in higher education contexts.
