Beginners want instant results. They are used to getting what they want now; wave, email, fast food lunch, drive-thru service, etc, gastric bypass, so they expect the same results in their martial arts training. I must continue to remind students that not only work that way. Progress takes time. If they have spent many years in sedentary jobs, or not yet implemented a long time, they can not realistically expect results overnight.
First job with a beginner is to work in coordination, and their general level of fitness. Many students that the new exit only work on computers such as the Nautilus, Universal, elliptic, or treadmills. Others have not been implemented since high school gym class and have been told by doctors that they do something better to improve physical health. Some of them have a hard time of transition to martial arts training because now they must rely on their bodies to do the work. This can be very frustrating.

There are several schools of art that are not military students this way, and your day-to-day fitness sports is not clear. Coordination, balance, and general fitness is the most important building blocks in a full body program. So important, for example, that some types of people will see no changes in their bodies if they do not get a level of coordination, balance, and general fitness because they will not be able to perform the task and the level of intensity that will get them to their destination.
There are many students who undertake training in the arts because they can not train anywhere else. This type of students must be patient to be able to develop the skills that they do not think they want to have. Once they learn how to control their bodies through the arts, take some dancing, yoga, or some other type of physical activity. They are free to learn various forms of physical activity because of the new found ability to move and adjust.
I tell my students to stop the initial focus on how they view and concentrate on how they feel. Do they have more energy? What is their faith? This is what is important. If you stick with something long enough, eventually you will see physical results. Do not surrender! Small day-to-day victory will result in greater success at the end of the year!
