When you train martial arts, you do not just improve your IQ (due to strategizing tactics), you also improve overall fitness.
Where strength, intelligence, endurance, and strategy combine in order to provide an immaculate show.
There is a reason that it is called Martial "Arts."
Many may see it as a vicious sport, however, some see further.
It is the mutual agreement of both parties engaging in physical activity with the understanding that there may be some pain. However, if it goes too far, there is an extremely structured system that healthcare professionals follow in order to ensure the health and safety of all fighters.
Depending on the circumstance, there are different styles.
If it is close quarters, boxing is oftentimes a strong skill.
If there is more space, potentially a cage, then wrestling would likely be your best bet.
There is a reason that boxers never have a successful career in UFC, and that reason is because it is for show.
Whereas, wrestling, as long as they can take the first hit, will win every single time.
Of course having an array of many different skills would be of most benefit to everyone.
Longer arms is almost never a bad thing in the real world.
Too much height makes your knees vulnerable.
You will realize that there are so many things to think about. Sometimes, it is important to ignore most of it and just train regardless. This is because there is almost never a reason not to train. It is a very healthy and respectable sport/art. The goal is not to injure the opponent, but to win the match.
