Punching the Air Shield
Every sport has fundamentals. If a student of the martial arts doesn’t like to hit things, then they will rarely last. For those who endure at the art, the love of hitting only increases.
For those that aren’t martial artists, it may seem odd. You guys like to hit things? It’s so destructive! Ah, not when the object has been designed to be hit, like an air shield. Like a good run, a quality session of striking leaves the student feeling elated and satisfied. Truth be told, for most practitioners, it leaves them calmer at the end of the day because they’ve spent some time bashing on the heavy bag.
With this therapeutic edge in mind, we hope that giving kids the opportunity to hit air shields in a safe environment makes them calmer people in the wide world. Plus, if you’re a martial artist and you don’t know how to hit something safely – you’re missing a big piece of the practice.
