A martial art for a programmer
yummyfajitas: I'd recommend Eskrima/Kali (Philipino martial arts) if you can find a teacher near you. Eskrima builds strong and flexible wrists in a way that most other arts don't.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rckWVZl_GsAAnother reason I prefer Philipino martial arts to Japanese arts is that the latter tends to be rigid and emphasize gatekeeping. When I studied Kendo, the attitude was "level up before we let you spar". In contrast, I got my ass whooped one month into Eskrima. (Obviously this is also highly dependent on the teacher.)
