Some styles of martial arts may be considered as much of a contact sport as football, for example, the training is very different. Unlike other sports where weightlifting to build muscle mass and strength is very important, success in martial arts is built on strategy, technique, mental discipline, endurance and flexibility.
After school and other structured youth training programs quite often lack the amounts of physical activity needed by young people, even those offered at health and fitness facilities.
