Well, PreZ did this particular style for years as a kid, and he did go to a few classes at the Manhattan dojo, after which he got laid off and that kind of ended that.
He enjoys it, I need the exercise, and we trade off by each joining the other at a sport of their choice. Plus I do get the benefits of the training, the discipline and I'm sure it's effective as a self-defense technique as well. Who knows, I might really warm to it ;)
I'm not unwilling to give it a shot at any rate. There are some sports which don't appeal to me at all, and this definitely isn't one of them. And having been fairly fit at one time, when I was doing quite a few hours of aerobics/callanetics/weights stuff each week, I do really miss that level of fitness. I didn't *love* to do the aerobics, but it wasn't bad, and doing it with a friend is always more fun.
