The description is as follows:
"They travel overheard in small packs. It is not rare to be hit by the garbage that they unwittingly drop."

kickboxing and muay thai primarily, though i dabbled in a couple others when younger

i personally prefer striking to grappling, but i've friends who found great joy in jiu jitsu and judo as well

i'd advise taking trial classes at a few diff gyms to see which matches your vibe

even within those in the "pragmatic skill" camp, there is a gradient

"self defense" types are the ones i'm most skeptical of, but there are folks who are very serious about competition matches, who can be surprisingly wholesome - and can give you advice on how to pace yourself, not get injured, etc
