Teachers are also under a lot of pressure, parents chasing after "achievement disease" put more pressure on their children. "Let's save our children. Let our children develop normally. Each individual will have their own choice of path, with their own happiness". And on the journey of intellectual and physical development for the young generation, it is necessary to equip children with a foundation of health, in which martial arts is a necessary subject.
