Too many Palauan Warriors are in jails, prisons, and or awaiting trails due to their violent actions toward others, especially with the weapons mentioned, and let’s not forget the kitchen knives and machetes. It has become common to learn that someone’s kid, father, relative is being flown out of the Islands for life threatening injuries sustained in some club’s parking space during the wee hours of night. These types of actions place great burden upon both the victim’s and the perpetrator’s families and the nation. Communities suffer by losing human capital; individuals that could be leaders, engineers, entrepreneurs, and overall contributing citizens. A Palauan Warrior who learns the arts of Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Dutch Kick Boxing, Muay Thai, and Wrestling can utilize the skills gained and avoid unnecessary altercations.

The journey through MMA brings many benefits which include self-discipline, confidence, improved physical and mental health. Self-discipline, the ability to control emotions, impulses, and thoughts in stressful situations is a great asset to acquire through MMA. Traditional Martial Arts utilizes the belt systems which encourages students to set goals and younger members are taught self-discipline through self-improvement records. With realistic goals, self-control, and following the rules of the arts, an individual will finesse their self-discipline. Moreover, one’s confidence is boosted through MMA by knowing self-defense, the ability to remain calm under pressure. And, just like a diamond, a student that goes through the rigors of MMA transform their bodies to be leaner, more coordinated, stronger, and improve cardio. Mental toughness is gained by learning the arts which boost self-esteem, knowing that you can defend yourself in confrontational situations brings a sense of calmness and the ability to evaluate and deploy appropriate responds.

Without further ado, here are 2 simple ways a Palauan Warrior can replace sticks, stones, and sling shots with MMA.
