Get in shape for combat: knockout workouts are all the rage right now. Both physical and mental health benefits can be gained from a boxing- or martial arts-inspired workout, and obviously, a large number of us are here for it. According to Pinterest results, the app's searches for mixed martial arts (MMA) training have grown by 21% in 2023 compared to 2022, while those for karate kumite — aka training against an enemy — have risen by 60%, and jiujitsu have increased by 30%. (The word "kick boxing aesthetic" has also risen by 265 percent, owing to Pinterest.) In addition, TikTok's #boxing has been ranked as a hot trending sport, with 143.1 billion views.
