    I thought it would be a good idea if we started a thread in which we try to gather all the benefits of martial arts that we can come up with.

    I have no time to post now- so somebody else start please!:)

    The chance to face fear in a reasonably safe environment (where you might get your nose broke but you're not gonna get knifed) so you can get used to it and understand your body better.

    Meeting people who have the same interests as you

    Helping clear your mind of day-to-day issues

    Training your body to do cool things that your average person can't do

    Structured way of getting some exercise

    Fun

    (thought I'd get some of the supplementary benefits in there)
