I’ve been doing the same routine for some time (shooting hoops a few days a week) to stay healthy and I’ve become a little bored and uninspired, and as a result I’ve skipped my “play nights” to sit around and do nothing. 10lbs later I’ve decided to change things up and thought that some sort of martial arts might do the trick. I figure being in a class enviroment would help motivate me, get me back into shape and maybe even have a little fun. Im not looking to be competitive (even though i do have a mean competitive streak so who knows), or to really learn about kickin butt, but simply as a fitness tool.
Is there a martial art that fits these requirements? Would full contact sports like Boxing, Muy Thai or that-intense-Israeli- self-defense – is-called be best? or would something a little more “art” based like Shaolin Kung Fu or Aikido be more suitable? Or even go something more weapons based like Kendo or Fencing?
Any advice is appreciated.
