I have practiced the Martial Art of Black Dragon Kung Fu for many years. Yes, it WILL help you lose weight, but you have to do the exercises and combine it with a good diet.

Honestly...what do you think?

Common sense alone tells you that you have to be in good shape to be real good at martial arts and that it's a great physical activity to do. Just look- Was Bruce Lee fat? No. Is Chuck Norris or Jean Claude Van Damm fat? No.

I don't want to sound mean..but come on use your head a little bit.

Yes they do, they help you lose weight, gain flexibility and gain muscle mass. Also it helps with your coordination, self esteem, and dexterity. Plus they're fun. So I'd say go for it, you have absolutely nothing to lose.

I did karate for 7 years, and it was great for my health! I've always been overweight, but although I gained weight because of karate, it was all muscle. I ended up looking a lot more toned, and it makes you feel great about yourself.

I ended up getting a black belt for my efforts too... so put as much effort into it as you can, even if it's a little difficult at the beginning, because it's worth it!

Yea it will help but you have to make sure your eating right to. You should eat more salads and fruits. What i hear really helps is eating 6 times a day and whatever you eat eat only half of it and wait three hours and eat the other half hope i helped!

Any physical activity will help you lose weight as long as you're eating healthy. Martial arts is good if you have the endurance and put your all into it, because if you slack off, you won't get good results.
