danbong Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 You said that you would only be studying for a short period time before going away to college and that fitness was a high priority - with those two factors in mind, how about kickboxing (the contact type)? You might not get to be very good in a short period of time, but there's a good chance that you will learn enough to cotinue working out on your own if necessary. ichi-go ichi-e 一期一会one encounter, one chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
