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.

Plus they're fun. So I'd say go for it, you have absolutely nothing to lose. [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
NinjaNeer answered Saturday September 30 2006, 6:06 pm: 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! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

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!

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. [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]
