Martial Arts

I am surprised to see obscure activities such as wingsuit flying listed, but not martial arts. Will you please add martial lists to the list of types of activity? Many thanks.

I would like to see martial arts (specifically BJJ) added into the mix of activities on the Fenix. Tracking my BJJ sessions as "Other" is far from ideal.

I agrre, even knowing that we can't use our Garmin when doing martial arts or combat sports training, it would be nice to be able to log the activity and register metrics like bpm's during warmup and cooldown…

Keep in mind that there are some very small activity trackers these days.
Not all of them are the size of a Fenix or ForeRunner series. The Vivo series has some which would fit into the knot of a martial arts belt and be completely unnoticeable. Maybe MA belts with a fitness tracker pouch would be a good product to bring to market.

Agreed! Please add at least a generic "martial arts" option!

Please update for martial arts.

Garmin. I do MMA, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. All of these combat martial arts are not something we can wear our watches for (for the safety of the training partner). I would love to see you guys add a workout for this! I track it as HIIT but I get a hell of a workout in a fight compared to a HIIT workout. HIIT doesn't seem like enough.

Please add martial arts, boxing, Muay Thai and BJJ as a minimum. Martial arts are growth sports, it's ignorant to think that we don't want to track our sport even if we can't wear or device whilst training.

Just add martial arts finally. I'm an adult and I can decide how and when I can safely wear a device. If I'm practicing roundhouse kicks on a heavy bag, I can safely wear a wrist tracker.

Would love to see the option for boxing, muay Thai and especially Brazillian Jiu Jitsu.

Yes please! Can we get BJJ on this. I would like to you the chest strap for measuring HR.
