Martial arts, a high-aerobic workout involving each muscle group, improves strength, balance, flexibility, muscle tone, and stamina. Martial arts workouts contribute to many health benefits, including burning more calories in each class. One may find herself eating less because the body's natural eating signals can improve.

There has been research that shows evidence of cardiovascular health being improved by participating in activities that increase heart rate, including martial arts. Research also has led to the conclusion that engaging in a regular exercise routine is an efficient way to improve one's overall mood. This is because endorphins are released during physical activity and stay active in the body up to four hours after a workout.
