I wrestled one year in hs but wasn’t too into it. Other than that I have been taking boxing fitness classes but it’s not really real boxing or anything.
Have you ever taken self defense classes or been part of any combat sports?

u I took Hapkido briefly when I was a little kid, but didn't stay with it because I had the attention span of a little kid and it didn't interest me much. I spent too much time in gymnastics and recreational shooting later on to devote any time to martial arts (it never really interested me that much anyway). I've had quite a bit of self-defense with firearms training (practical courses, such as shoot and no shoot scenarios), but not much in physical training for self-defense. I have great confidence in both my ability to extricate myself from a bad situation and run like a scalded dog, and my ability to shoot, stab, kick, bite, clobber any attacker (or thief) I might encounter.

That sounds fun. We do that too in my classes.
I could have been a class instructor. In martial arts most people move on to open their own studios or at least stay on and help their master/instructor with single dan blackbelt and beyond. Passing on the knowledge learned. Martial arts is a life journey. In the end you supersede your instructor, in turn your students should turn out better than you.
Boxing, wrestling and judo. Army hand to hand. Boxercise can teach you some of the fundamentals and training but a hour session 2 days a week in a group isn't going to do much for you. I took classes with my woman and her sister, was OK but its going to be useless on a self defence scenario.

Yeah I was once in a self defense class and the guy asked me why I'm there and then said "well honestly in a real case scenario you wouldn't have any chances no matter how well you train" and then I never went again lol

I did marital arts for a time because I was getting bullied in school.

I'm currently a purple belt in BJJ, I also boxed for a few years, and have black belts in two styles of kung fu, although I pretty much think those are a waste now, wish I'd started BJJ earlier.
