聽– One of the divisions in the Student Activity Unit (UKM) is Martial Arts.聽There are many pencak silat or martial arts organizations at Student Center Campus C UNAIR. Such as Jujitsu, Kempo, Taekwondo, Karate, Perguruan Setia Hati Terate, Tapak Suci, Perisai Diri, Merpati Putih, and Pagar Nusa.
There are many benefits from joining a martial arts club.聽Just like the UKMs in the Sports division, the students who participate will definitely be guaranteed health.聽Both physical and mental.
“If you want to be slim or reduce fat, we can also join the martial arts,” said the Head of martial arts division Farid Adi Prastyo.聽“Besides to be healthy, martial arts can also exercise discipline,” added the aquaculture student.
If a person aims to gain an award at a regional or national championship, he or she is obliged to discipline himself.聽If not, surely he will fail.聽Hard work must be accompanied by discipline.
The skill is not for boasting, instead, it just as an effort to protect themselves and others.聽In martial arts, there are levels that are generally symbolized by the belt.聽The higher the belt, the greater the responsibility.聽When the level is high, they have to train their juniors.聽At that point, responsibility is put on their shoulders.
“Martial arts can also foster confidence,鈥 said the member of Taekwondo UKM.
There are many martial arts clubs at UNAIR.聽They are not only originated from Indonesia but also from abroad.聽All students are given the freedom of choice.聽Most importantly, they have to be able to manage the time between their study and club activities.
In martial arts, the most important aspect is physical strength.聽Thus, a lot of physical exercise is encouraged including flexing or body training.聽In martial arts, the mental is also important.聽Moreover, in a match, a fighter is required to knock down an opponent.聽The martial arts trainers are those who have been verified and experienced.
A good mentality will support students in life.聽They can face any problems.聽Because, many smart people leave the responsibility when ethey face big problems with great pressure.
In UKMs, students are trained to become qualified individuals.聽Who can contribute in society.
