The word martial has derived its name from Mars, who was the Roman God of war. The term martial arts refer to all the various systems of training for combat that have been arranged or systematized.

Self-confidence is the major primary benefit. I have seen and experienced it myself. Other than that it helps in maintaining a healthy heart rate. It also keeps your immune system strong. Regular practise of this art increases the metabolism rate of the body. It keeps your organs and skin well nourished. It is also shown to increase your lung capacity.
