activities involved.

This is a type of martial art that is centered on power. The focus is
usually placed on the upper body strikes however, plenty of kicks are also
involved. This martial art discipline can be an excellent core workout for
strength, endurance and shaping your muscles. For you to perfect in this
discipline, you must be physically fit and demonstrate fast reflexes. All
these require thorough exercising and practice which can lead to weight

Kung Fu and Taekwondo 

Kung Fu is arguably the most diverse martial art discipline. This is
because of the many fighting styles it has. Many of these styles require a
lot of body movement which include flipping, jumping and general body
movement. Flexibility and fast reflexes are key in this discipline.

involved in these two martial art disciplines are good for a solid leg and
Cardio workout. When sparring, you will have to continuously move each and
every part of your body, hence a perfect way to lose weight. 

 

MMA, Kickboxing and Muay Thai 

These three are the most intensive martial art disciplines ever. MMA is
all about power, motion, speed and endurance. And, all these cannot be
achieved without an intensive workout. It is a little wonder that most MMA
fighters get exhausted after a few minutes of engagement in the ring. They
