body fat percentage calculator?
I'm a martial artist that is really muscular but still kinda fat at the same time. Is there anything online I can use to see the actual percentage of my body weight that is fat that is fairly accurate?

- The circumference method (see link below) has been used by the armed forces for years and seems to be pretty accurate. All that you need is a cloth measuring tape (you could also use a piece of string & a ruler if you don't have one). Hope that helps. - Mike
- The circumfrence method is garbage. I used it once and it told me that I was 25%, I then got a pro to do it who said I was 18%! Apparently the 7% error margin is normal. What a waste. I now use an accu-measure. You can get them at GNC(~$20). Its a single site caliper test. It's kind of vague, but if you get the technique down, it can be hugely beneficial. It currently tells me 14%, and the pro told me 13.85%, better, huh?
