If you are looking for a new exercise program, either because you are in a rut with your old routine, or you are just starting out, you might want to consider joining a martial arts class. Martial arts is a fun, challenging work out that you can enjoy alone, with a friend or with your children. The obvious reason that many people chose to learn martial arts is self defense.

Fitness is also a good reason to take up any sport, as in the 21st century obesity and disease due to sedentary life styles are on the rise. If you find yourself bored or unmotivated with the routine of lifting weights or running on the treadmill, martial arts might be right for you. It's a


fun work out, so you will be enjoying yourself while burning a large amount of calories.

Martial arts can also teach a person tremendous mental and physical determination, as it not only focuses on the body, but also mind control.
