    Can't beat physical exercise for exorcising the demons, main reason I lift weights. Makes you feel better about yourself and tires you out to the point that it's easier to relax and not think about negative stuff.

    Good call mate.

    Good idea to get back into something you were into before you had kids, got to look after yourself as well. Never tried any kind of martial arts I suspect I'd be pretty **** at it but I like boxing, got a heavy bag in the garage and there's nothing better for letting off steam.

    Hard to be mad about anything when you can barely lift your arms an inch.

    Well done mate. Great decision,it'll be good for you as it can be for everyone. I've practised martial arts since my teens and it's definately helped me through the difficult times. It's as much the mental strength and peace you can get from it as the physical. Good luck.

    No harm is asking on here mate, there's usually someone can help.

    I'm just trying to find some Leeds tickets for someone on here I often have rows with ...

    ... a bit like yourself <laugh>

    As Nacho says physical excercise is a great outlet . Healthy body healthy mind ? It does release those ( endorphins?) , happy hormone things.
    Hope it goes well and report back your progress!

    Exercise & particularly the self discipline getting good at Martial Arts requires are brilliant for mental health.

    My black belt in Hecky Thump proves this :)
