How many calories do my martial arts classes burn?Written on the 28 February 2023  "How many calories do my martial arts classes burn?")
Martial Arts has been proven to be a good way to burn calories and shred fat. This article will provide real evidence from three GIANT Martial Arts male adult students who weigh approx 75-80kg. One student had monitored his classes from October 2018 to March 2019, so we have approx 6 months of calorie burning evidence. Even though it was a while ago, the class structures have remained pretty much the same. Before we get into the class evidence, lets compare the calories burnt with other activities over a one-hour period for a similar sized male:
Everyday Activities - Sleeping 50-60 calories Martial Arts Related Activities - Yoga 290-320 calories
Here is what the GIANT Martial Arts calorie study has shown: Hapkido (broken up by the following classes) - Yellow Tip - Movement, Strength & Conditioning Classes 600-630 calories Kickboxing Classes Burnt on average 650-700 calories Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes Burnt on average 560-600 calories Hapkido Grading Test A 1.5 hour grading test for a purple belt who was one of the male students clocked up a whopping 992 calories. WOW!
Calorie equivalent to yummy junk food 650 calories burned by an entire one hour GIANT Martial Arts class is roughly equal to the following junk foods/drinks: 7-9 chocolate chip cookies or So eating cookies, beer, pizza and Maccas during the week might mean weeks of extra martial arts classes in order to burn off the accumulated calories and catch up. Alternatively you could eat whatever you wanted leading up to grading time as the GIANT Grading test has a burn of over 900 calories!!!
