I want a hobby like martial arts or fast mountain biking but I'm unwilling to risk concussions (hexbear.net)

Hmm... Should I get into dumb VR games like BeatSaber? I want to do something that feels like intense fighting. Biking fast enough it's satisfying is too dangerous. Maybe unrealistic point based karate would be fun. I tried fencing once but it was shockingly lame. I'd join a dodgeball league but there aren't any, everyone wants to do like baseball and volleyball. Hmmmm. I wonder if paintball would be fun or tedious, I could see it going either way.

I want the "aaah I'm about to die if I stop instantly instinctively reacting to what's happening" feeling for like an uninterrupted minute at least. Eskateboards sound fun but too dangerous to go satisfyingly fast on.

Yeah I'm wracking my brain because I love flow state activities and I think I need to find one too. There's a local indoor gel blaster field near me I'm thinking about again now. I feel like paintball has a better incentive to not get shot, but then it also feels like a slower game (outside of speedball.)
