Give kyokushin karate a try! It's full contact, so you gotta work hard on getting yourself strong, but the people practicing it are always great, humble, and fun, it's kind of its own sub culture I guess
Thanks for the advice. I was curious about Kyokushin for a while now. It seems intrigueing and more effective than Shotokan.
Have you trained Kyokushin yourself? Would you say it still has a connection with philosophy and mental training like more traditional styles?
I'm a transfem who, once long ago, took an aikido class. I totally get violence. It can be very gratifying. I probably couldn't win any fight, but I like the idea of being handled by a big guy. What you're describing with the motorcycles and such almost sounds like leather culture, which I definitely have engaged with.
Check out Oliver Sacks. He was into motorcycles, he was gay and also a neuroscientist. He has some awesome books.
PS: Martial Arts are hot. Keep doing it.
