oneself. A martial arts class will help foster respect in your child, and if you, ad an adult, are looking

- For me, combative sports are a good workout because not only will is it good for the health, it is also
good for your brain. It exercises the brain because combative sports also require focus. this type of
sports also trains the reflex time of our body to adapt, recover and be ready. Combative sports bring the
cardio intensity to a whole new level, putting one’s agility, physical and mental reflex to the test. Having
combative sports as a workout also help improve one's breathing.
3. Why are combative sports perfect for fitness?

- combative sports are perfect for fitness because it controls your whole body. According to my
research, a 50 minutes body combat class allows you to burn an average of 740 calories. While the
number of calories burned is based on one’s fitness level, height and weight. This amount is higher
than most cardio activities and definitely qualifies as an elite fat blaster activity. just like other
sports, combative sport is a great conditioning of the body. Body combat offers comparable stamina
training as to running with its explosive workouts and the non-contact nature reduces the chances
of sustaining unwanted injuries. They usually conducted in timed intervals and of different speeds,
hence allowing for participants to maximize their hurt and lung capacities.
