I may have to pick just one activity though for this, and because I am focusing mainly on Kickboxing for my own training at the moment I shall choose that.
When you take on a martial art, you don't just take on a physical activity, and so on the very top of the 'best bits' has to be friendship.
Whether it's at Tora, where I train, or one of my own 2 clubs, we have a close-knit and supportive Kickboxing family. You will never feel alone and have like-minded friends.
This is a big thing when wanting to get active, and for a lot of people they are scared to go somewhere on their own for the first time, but you will find that a lot of martial arts clubs are full of friendly and genuine people. Therefore I would recommend a martial art to someone who wants to make friends and get fit. There are many styles and types out there so you will need to find one that suits you, so maybe go and try a few? A lot of clubs will give you one or two sessions free so why not find a club and have a go?
After the 'friendship' side of the best bits, there comes fitness, muscle strength and toning, and at the same time, punching and kicking is a massive stress-buster!
You learn respect, discipline, and of course, learning to fight.
You don't have to be a violent person to practice martial arts, in many ways the people who do it are very calm and friendly, quite the opposite of what you may think.
So why not give it a go?
