THere seem to be a lot of engineering & technical people doing martial arts - perhaps because we believe in the efficacy of technique. It's also good for getting hour head out of abstraction and focusing on the present.
Classes provide structure and a community. Maybe not too different from ballet.

Complex sequences of martial arts and ballet appear more interesting to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlL3SATRPw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlL3SATRPw Good performances of of martial arts and ballet both value high in aesthetics. In east Asia it is common to perform choreographed martial arts in parties or galas, this is not too different from dancing! Quite a few contemporary young actors in China are former full-time ballet dancers, because they can execute the fighting sequences in films or TV plays beautifully.
