Aerobics, Dance, Boxing, Pilates, Yoga

are all forms of martial arts, just ask Billy Blanks or Dhalsim.

Here is Prince Naseem's version:


Who?
Hamed "Prince" Naseem was a British boxer, born in 1974 after his parents migrated from Yemen. He evolved five years of classical ballet training into a vigorous style that combines nimbleness and power. He won the featherweight (126lbs) championship at the age of 21 and is also a former bantamweight(between 112 and 118 lbs) champion. His record was 35-0 and his confidence peaking before the tarnishing done by Marco Antonio Barrera in MGM Grand on April 7th, 2001. It was his last notable fight, his last dance, and possibly his last workout. He was arrested in 2006 for dangerous driving and reportedly weighed over 180 lbs.

He is considered by some boxing critics as the greatest British boxer of all time. Ring Magazine titled him as the 11th "Greatest British Boxer of All Time" and the 46th "Greatest Puncher of All Time"
