12. Try fencing
I had always been interesting in fencing (albeit mostly every 4 years, during the Olympics), and somehow I had never really thought of trying it myself...
Well now I did! And... it was okay.
I liked the emphasis on footwork, and learning different techniques (although I only took a one hour class, I still learned a few of them), but overall it wasn't that fun. Plus I felt SO HOT wearing the equipment, and the gym is so far from home, that I don't think I'll try again.
One interesting thing though is that the intensity of the spars reminded me a lot of fighting games! Similar duel-type battle, same mind games at play, the importance of managing the distance, that made it fun!
