Aikido and Kenjutsu (more traditional Japanese sword than Kendo).
Started due to a book read while in Italy nearly 40 years ago - it had a list of dojos in the back - rang up, went along and kept it going.
A friend once referred to it as "old man's judo" and that has a ring of truth.
Decades later, it has given me a circle of friends, continuing research topics, a level of continuing physical activity (supplemented by other things), intellectual and physical challenges and rewards.
Somewhat overtaken by things like MMA/BJJ these days, but well worth checking out.
Oh and music remains an ongoing interest...
