Future fitness plans
Sep. 2nd, 2021 08:25 pmOne thing I'd like to do when things are less pandemic-y is take some martial arts classes. It sounds like it'd be fun. And it'd fill a niche in my fitness routine that isn't currently being met.
The options in town are judo, tae kwan do, and Brazilian jiujitsu. The local judo club seems both focused and pretty chill, and they make it very clear that it's never too late to start learning. TKD and BJJ are offered through the Mixed Martial Arts academy, which has very... flashy marketing, but on the other hand they're pretty well-known/reputable.
Kind of leaning toward judo. I don't know a whole lot about it, but going by what I do know, it seems like a better fit for me than TKD. (And the judo club lists the prices for classes on their website, unlike the MMA academy, which is a point in their favour...)
Obviously I'm not planning to do anything at all until next year, so I don't have to decide right now. Plenty of time to think about it, and look for information, and save up for those classes. It's something I've been kind've-sort've thinking about for quite a while, and I don't mind waiting a bit longer, but when conditions improve I'm definitely going to revisit the idea.
