Blade96 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I agree!!! Martial arts can get you hooked. Well, speaking from a scientific point of view, an addiction is something that causes a strong dependence, causes physical withdrawal symptoms when the stimulus is removed and creates tolerance.So there you have, clinical definition of addition right there haha But on a more serious note, physical activity causes your brain to generate endorphins, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, all neurotransmitters that help enhance mood, create a sense of accomplishment and euphoria.Dopamine plays a key role in reward pathway and is responsible for most addictions so it's not surprising one can get hooked on something like Martial Arts especially if you are really enjoying yourself!!! i just went for a week without shotokan because of snowstorm so it was canceled and i already have withdrawal symptoms good thing I have it tonight. =] so i can have my fix back lol Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.
