Most martial arts work your whole body – think about Taekwondo for instance, you’re kicking, moving, blocking, punching, using your core… you’ll also work on skills that build strength, and as anyone knows who’s done sparring or bag work, it’s a great aerobic work out. Standing on a treadmill will work. Do it often enough for long enough, and you will get fitter… well as long as you turn it on! In martial arts, while you’ll get fit, you do so through doing other things, that is, you’re kicking a bag, working with a partner, punching, grappling… you’re learning something and doing something engaging, so often you’re really sweating and working, but you don’t tend to notice it because it’s a by-product of what you’re doing. The other thing which helps many people in martial arts are clear short term goals to work towards, ie belts! Taekwondo has provided a strong exercise discipline – improving my mind, body and spirit.
