Not OP, but I’ve taken up training Muay Thai and it’s a lot of fun. It can look pretty intimidating from the outside, but everyone I’ve met at the gyms here in Brooklyn have been super welcoming and kind.
I also have had a long standing, 5x per week yoga practice which is a great way to strengthen and open the body. I’d look for a yoga school that mentions ashtanga if you’re looking for something more intensive, it’s a challenging practice.
- djitz 4y agoPretty much everyone I’ve ever met who actually knew how to fight well was very friendly and kind. Traveling and showing up at random MMA or BJJ schools is almost always a fantastic experience. Subjecting the ego to much needed reality checks makes for some nice folks.
- akiselev 4y agoSeconded. I worked with a professional MMA team while they appeared on The Ultimate Fighter and met a lot of fighters who came to their gym to train, even spent some time living in a communal house with some of them. All but one of them would be in the running for the “nicest person I ever met” award.
- dijit 4y agoThat's my impression too, as a person who was in that scene myself for some number of years. However theres... unfortunately... always exceptions... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3PLLOreTLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3PLLOreTLY
