SHIDO Fighting Systems is one of the leading martial arts training facilities in South Africa with fitness and Martial Arts training programs to suit any gender and level whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced. We structured our classes to ensure that our athletes are well conditioned and safe in our training environment. Knowing how to fight is essential. Martial Arts is a sport, like any other, with rules, regulations, restraint and discipline. What SHIDO can offer you and the benefits of training with us: By training Martial Arts we will build confidence in you. When you know how to fight your mind is a little calmer and a little more relaxed. When you know how to throw a punch, break an arm, or choke someone unconscious there isn’t too much threat of physical confrontation. And if there is threat, it is easier to walk away. Training Martial Arts will teach you discipline. As with any sport, Martial Arts requires discipline. It teaches discipline of the mind and body. Training Martial Arts teaches the discipline of eating right, sleeping right, and training right. Training Martial Arts is an excellent physical workout. Sparring (Boxing practice during training) or grappling (wrestling or ground-fighting practice) for 3-5 minute rounds is absolutely brutal cardio, which is why fighters are usually in top notch physical condition. Training Martial Arts will teach you self-defense. If the need should ever arise you will be able to defend yourself against would be attackers. Night club bouncers are notorious tough-guys who love to start fights and gang up on bar patrons. Training Martial Arts is a huge stress reliever. After a session of training, when you are completely drenched in sweat, tired and sore, ready for a big meal and sleep, there can be no more room for stress. Camaraderie. When training at our gym you will meet a whole bunch of people with similar interests as you
