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.


  • Although there's a Martial Arts widget on the watch itself when I look at my activities on the app/desktop the dropdown doesn't have Martial Arts, or dance, and I'm sure many others.  Maybe you could implement customizable categories instead of just offering "other" - that way you don't have to add ALL the possible activities to the drop down, as there are 100s and it would make it unusable!!!!  Just give us the ability to name our own categories?

  • I still do not see martial arts of any kind or something like wrestling or combative??? Pls advise...

  • It'd be nice if we could create custome activities and share them with contacts in connect so that we wouldn't each have to build them from scratch.
    And, if enough people like an activity, it could eventually be added to the default lists.

  • Yes please add martial arts. Aikido and kendo.

  • Please add Martial Arts onto the Instinct range especially the tactical.

    It's the ideal watch (for training that can wear wristwatch) from a size and durability point of view.

  • Can you add martial arts as an activity. I manually add this as the risk of a wearable being damaged is high, but currently the closest category is "cardio"

  • +1 to that... Martial Arts is needed at least on the web interface of Connect so that an activity can be edited to Martial Arts (and to the watch interface of the instinct).

    Currently, that's my only barrier from buying a Garmin for my son who is training for a black belt in Taekwando.

  • When manually saving an activity there is a wide variety of activities including kite boarding, wingsuit flying, eSports, offshore grinding. There is no option for martial arts. Can martial arts be added as an activity type? Currently I have to set it as other. There are many obscure or rare activity types and I believe martial arts are much more commonly performed.

    • I am doing martial arts training as part of my workouts, but it is not an option to select as an activity. Is it possible to add it?
  • This topic was started 5 years ago. Seems like Garmin will NOT be doing it.

    As with many things asked for in this user forum, Garmin does not respond.
