The scientific literature on the psychosocial effects of participating in martial arts training is limited. There is some evidence that participation in the martial arts bolsters positive wellbeing; however, findings vary widely depending on the type of martial art and the population studied. Training in the martial arts requires focus, discipline, commitment, and respect as well as varying degrees of physical activity. As such, the psychosocial effects of engaging in this form of exercise may differ from sports participation and other forms of exercise because of the unique atmosphere associated with martial arts training. Martial arts focus on individual training as well as collaborative training. Most styles also put unique focus on aspects that are not a part of other sports such as respect, tradition, spiritual growth, and self-defense.
