YMA Chat - Episode Three

In regards to all sports, players need to have both physical and mental toughness. One of the most widely sought after quality from martial arts is self-discipline, and this trait alone can take anyone from being average, to being great. From the very first day, students in the martial arts are taught about self-discipline and how there are tasks a person should do without being told to do them.
