All forms of self-defense are good ways to build muscle and tone any flabby areas, just due to the nature of movements that are done in these classes. When beginning, you may feel awkward or out of place, but this is to be expected, and would happen whether or not it was self-defense or dance class. Taking a self-defense class to lose weight is a great way to develop a new skill, feel more confident and shed any extra pounds.
