    HELP: Looking for a hobby that challenges both your body and mind
    Hello TSR,

    a bit of a shot in the dark but I was wondering if anyone can help me find a new hobby/activity even just for the summer if nothing else? I already play rugby but need something else as well (and it's offseason). I cannot afford too costly activities as a student and also, I cannot afford major injuries so stuff like cage-fighting is out of question.

    I just want to do something new with my body and get kicks out of doing something again. I want to push my body even further, forget all excuses and toughen up. My body's never been this strong before and I kinda want to celebrate it by doing stuff just because I can (lame I know).

    Help anyone? I don't know if I'm asking too much. But, if you have the world's most amazing hobby, please let the world (TSR) and me know!

    Thank you very much.

    Fencing, defiantly!!!
    Great workout for both the body and your mind, also most clubs let beginners borrow kit so it works out relatively cheap!

    Have you considered any of the martial arts? I can't recommend any, but if this appeals to you I'm sure the Martial Arts Society will be able to help.

    Good luck!
