I want a hobby like martial arts or fast mountain biking but I'm unwilling to risk concussions (hexbear.net)

Hmm... Should I get into dumb VR games like BeatSaber? I want to do something that feels like intense fighting. Biking fast enough it's satisfying is too dangerous. Maybe unrealistic point based karate would be fun. I tried fencing once but it was shockingly lame. I'd join a dodgeball league but there aren't any, everyone wants to do like baseball and volleyball. Hmmmm. I wonder if paintball would be fun or tedious, I could see it going either way.

Ooh this is a good idea and it looks like there's a club near me

Tangentially barely related but there's an amazing anime called Ping Pong which is probably one of the best bits of fiction I've seen about the internal and external struggle of sport and competition. Might see if my partner wants to find a spot near here.
