Children training martial arts
It has dawned on a segment of the (hover?) parenting world that enrolling your children in an athletic pursuit that involves punching, kicking, and simulated and/or real combat may potentially cause injury to said child.
There is now some clinical research to help weight more exactly what those risks might be — and what the benefits are as well.

Train smart
No matter what sport/physical activity you do it comes with one important, game-changing risk — injury.
Injuries can hamper your progress or outright end your pursuit of a particular sport entirely.
The risk of this is higher in high impact activities like martial arts.

Self-defense
While there are few substantive reasons to believe orange-faced Russian stooge/President elect Donald Trump will actually make America great again, his ascension is helping out one industry — self-defense.
Apparently women are signing up for self-defense and martial arts classes in record numbers in anticipation of when Trump’s rape-y term begins.

Fighting
One of the most confounding things people who meet Sarah have trouble figuring out about her is her interest in fighting.
What these people don’t realize is that even though the world mostly sucks, when one is competing in the fighting arts it might also suck, but it’ll (mostly) suck in a way that’s generally fair and generally honourable.
And in a world that isn’t particularly fair or honourable, this is a safe haven.
Sarah wrote about these feelings in a piece called “I Don’t Fight Because I’m Violent—I Fight Because The World Is” for The Establishment.
