]]>This Japanese martial art was created just after World War II as a way to combine spiritual growth and personal health with self-defense. It’s actually a modified version of Shaolin Kung Fu and includes traditional moves like punching and kicking as well as relying strongly on paired practice and sparring.
Originating in Vietnam in the 1960s, Qwan Ki Do translates to “the way of the body” and is taught all over the world. It uses traditional sweeps, kicks, and punches as well as artistic-looking routines and sparring. There are also mental health activities associated with it such as meditation. It is focused especially on morality, honesty, gratitude, and other virtues.
Also known as Filipino boxing, this martial art is designed for street fighters rather than for artistic combat. It is a little more intense with moves like headbutts, elbowing, and low blows as well as targeting many areas of the body that are usually off-limits in more regulated martial arts.

]]>This isn’t the first time that Berry shared her love for boxing with the world. She previously gushed about it in one of her Instagram posts from 2018 and called it “one of the best full-body workouts” because it allows you to sculpt every muscle and burn major calories and fat along the way.
Berry enjoys boxing because it helps you build confidence and decrease stress, but it’s not the only routine she uses to get an epic six-pack. She also described mixed martial arts, such as jiu-jitsu and capoeira, as “a recipe for really strong abs.”
Berry also said that MMA has been one of the biggest game-changers for her abs because you’re using your core the whole time. Even after years of doing crunches and sit-ups, the combination of boxing and martial arts did more for her six pack than any other fitness routine.
