LES ARTS MARTIAUX CPMME MEDECINE PREVENTIVE
By Richard Hackworth, Ph.D., Lac.
Des séances d'entraînement aux arts martiaux faites au plus haut niveau de ses capacités et de ses compétences est le meilleur moyen de préventif prevent disease, as well as to stimulate positive changes in the body's natural healing systems.
Our current lifestyle does not challenge us to move, yet our biological need for physical movement is still the same as when time began. Martial arts training can strongly influence the function of most of the human organ systems and much of the chemistry of our brains and bodies. The changes brought about by martial arts training are dose responsive, but maybe not in the way you believe. In fact, twice as much is twice as good only up to optimal levels.
An additional factor may be technique. Taking into consideration the type and dosage of martial arts training, it affects the body and its systems in numerous positive ways. After about three weeks of true martial arts training, a wide range of physiological changes take place (improvements in blood sugar, blood pressures, brain neurotransmitter balance...
The brain and nervous system
Martial arts training brings about remarkable changes in brain chemistry. The concentrations of various neurotransmitters that are responsible for facilitation or inhibition of nerve impulse transmission in the central nervous system. Among the early changes seen when individuals engage in a martial arts training program are mood elevation, heightened energy levels, enhanced self-confidence and self-esteem, lower anxiety levels, resistance to depression and improved coping ability. Changes in blood pressure and heart rate, which are, to a large extent, mediated by the central nervous system, occur soon afterward. Heart rate is slowed, and hypertensive blood pressure is reduced toward normal.
Returning to the neurotransmitter connections with training, higher levels of serotonin and dopamine have been recorded following intense martial arts training. These would account for the mood elevation and antidepressant effects equal to those of regular aerobic exercise. Keep in mind that changes in GABA, endorphins and other neurotransmitters may well contribute to these psychological effects. There have been improvements in the physical capabilities of Parkinson's disease patients following six to eight weeks of martial arts training. (Dopamine levels are commonly low in people with Parkinson's disease.)

Des témoignages sur place
by David Alan Beck (2007)
County Prosecutor Scott Newman, along with Vince Perez, began the "Rock Steady Boxing Gym", a not-for-profit organization that caters to those with Parkinson’s disease.
Newman knows firsthand not only about Parkinson’s, but also how a boxing workout can help alleviate the symptoms. At the age of 41, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He lost control of his hands and could no longer type. Working from a voice-activated computer, Newman stayed in his apartment most of the time. “Parkinson’s is a really self-conscious disease. You don’t want to go out in public.”
But then he met a former Nebraska Golden Gloves Champion and practicing lawyer, Vince Perez. Perez asked Newman to work out with him — a boxing workout — and within three weeks, Newman’s symptoms decreased. He could sign his name; he could skip rope and do a regular boxing workout.
"I always believed that too much is just about right, when it comes to working out"
And now they want to pass on their knowledge to all who suffer from Parkinson’s. Perez states, “Our goal is to provide an environment that makes everyone feel welcomed, especially those with Parkinson’s. We want them to feel, not just comfortable, but confident. By being a part of our program, they can go out and live a day-to-day life in the real world.”
For Newman and those who attend the boxing classes, the workout, a mixture of cardio and strength training, alleviates the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Follmar is convinced. “What we’ve seen here is nothing short of miraculous. One man has just regained the ability to clap his hands. These people work so much harder than anyone else in the gym. To see people who can’t even jump when they get here, four weeks later skipping rope like a pro is amazing.”
According to Follmar, the intense workout benefits the participants by raising their dopamine levels. “People with Parkinson’s lose dopamine. The workouts increase the dopamine levels in the brain, resulting in a lessening of the symptoms.”
They also believe that a boxing workout is the perfect workout.And, how effective, boxing training can be. “We think boxing works so well because it combines cardio and strength training without being boring.
