    I actually put mine under "teaching aerobics class," bt I'm sure others use different modes. Curious to see as well!

    I log it under "Punching, kicking, lunging" and around 450 cals/hr.

    I wear my HRM for the class and I burn any where from 450-650 depending on how much I put into it!

    I put it down as aerobics, although it's probably a bit more high intensity than that :) I saw an interesting blog post that did a formula for body combat as roughly, per class, 10calories per kg of body weight.

    I also log it under 'punching kicking asswhooping'-whatever. I wear my HRM and was in the high 500's. Same with body attack.

    I wear a HRM and also burn anything from 450-650 cals! I have created my own exercise, called Body Combat (funnily enough!) and log it under that. :)

    Up until now I've been logging body combat classes under high impact aerobics which is only 363 cals per hour which seemed really low for such a demanding class. Checked with instructor, apparently the top end is anything between 700-1000 cals, so im going to log it as "karate/judo/taekwondo" whcj is 560 cals per hour which sounds more realistic. Anyone agree?

    edit: just changed it to "martial arts" which is slightly lower at 476 cals per hour (Im thinking I'd rather underestimate than overestimate)

    I wear my hrm and for Body Combat, I burn 450-530 calories in 55 min and burn 580-645 in Body Attack. I made my own exercise category to track.

    I'm 5'7" and my HRM generally says about 450-500 for Combat classes. Enjoy!
