Aikido
Aikido.
You might have heard Katie talking about it, but it is a modern, non-aggressive Japanese martial art. Yes, I said non-aggressive martial-art. It was developed by Urehei Ueshiba, or just "O-sensei" (Great Teacher). Aikido can be translated as "The Way of Harmony With The Spirit."
Mentally, O-Sensei preached that Budo, or the martial way, is a work of love, a path to overcome discord and chaos in ourselves and bring peace to the world, "To make the heart of the universe one's own heart." O-Sensei taught that true awareness is not grasped by intellect alone. "This is not mere theory," he said. "You must practice it."

Physically, Aikido, unlike other martial arts, doesn't focus on kicking or punching, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of an attacker, or to throw them away from you. Aikido places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of intent, circular, centered movement, and breathing.

I'm taking Aikido right now, and personally, it's been a wondrous experience. My mind and judgment is clearer, my breathing is stronger, my actions are quicker, I am much more coordinated. Mentally, I've become more realistic, and determined. I love it. I also adore the principles behind the art.

If you're interested, classes are every Tuesday, and Thursday from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm. The senseis (Keith and Deborah) are very kind and funny. They love new students, and I'd love if you want to check it out.
I don't know why, but I have a good feeling that this would do you good as well. ^^ It's very good at knocking sense into you. (and throwing you into the air, and knocking you into the earth, XD).

It's at Gold's Gym, on Racine Dr. in the arobics room.
