Martial arts can sculpt your body, sharpen your defense skills, and make you feel pretty almighty.
With more martial arts disciplines than you can name (see “Find Your Fierce,” right), there’s bound to be one that fits your speed. And you don’t have to head to a dojo to get a taste: Gym chains like Crunch and Gold’s Gym report that their mixed martial arts classes—UrbanKicks Ass and BodyCombat, respectively— are growing fast, and boxes like CrossFit Outbreak in New York City offer Muay Thai to complement your WODs.
“Martial arts help you learn powerful new ways to use your body,” says Dan Roberts, the head of Dan Roberts Group personal training in New York City and London, who routinely incorporates Muay Thai, kung fu, and boxing into his sessions with clients. “Plus, combat sports are a great multidirectional full-body workout.” Here’s why you’ll want a piece of the action.

Power-Train Your Brain
YOU KNOW EXERCISE IS GREAT for your body and mood. But new research is showing that it can have an equally profound effect on your thinking skills. “Working out is one of the most powerful things you can do to strengthen the brain,” says Wendy Suzuki, Ph.D., a professor of neural science and psychology at New York University. “A single workout triggers physiological changes that improve mental function,” she says. You don’t have to go all out, either. “Taking a walk stimulates the release of serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, and endorphins and makes you feel calmer and happier,” Suzuki explains. Those effects last for several hours, but if you hit the gym regularly, they may persist long term. Exercise trains you to push yourself when your body is telling you to stop, and that may help you remain calm when under pressure, research from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, found. Working out also triggers the production of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that builds the brain’s resilience to stress.

Your Instant Stress Detox
When something upsetting happens, the best way to handle it is to deal with the negative feelings and let them go. “Not processing emotions appropriately can lead to depression or even high blood pressure,” says Mithu Storoni, M.D., Ph.D., the author of Stress-Proof. The most effective ways to de-stress, though, aren’t always the most obvious. Try one or all of these proven methods to reset and relax.
