"Welcome to the forum...."
Thanks!
"However, increses abilities for physical applications, fighting, lack much having to do with martial arts as a whole."
Well, it's not as though I'm in desperate need for self-defense. It's more a matter of the impact on me being a barometer of how well I mesh with the art. If I study for something for years and still have a tendency to fall back on boxing for self-defense, my heart couldn't really have been into that study, you know what I mean? I don't learn martial arts for any practical reason, it's for the art itself, but at the end of the day, it should at least be apparent in my fighting what it is that I've studied.
"And, being a art, form, it is like a hobby."
And I'd like to approach it as such. The one thing I can say for certain about my tastes is that I'm through with schools/styles which heavily emphasize conditioning. I've been through enough of that already and that does rule out stuff like Muay Thai, for example.

As one gets older/wiser, conditioning is of the health and mid, no longer are there urges to do any heavy/hardore routine(s)

"Over" in this case, means instead of. Ergo, I am NOT looking for rigorous physical training. Once again, your comprehension is sorely lacking. You really ought to go back to school before trying to insult me again by following me to other threads and making false assumptions about what I have or haven't studied.
Then they were with some rather atypical programs to say the least.
Nah. One of my martial art instructors' fathers were a wrestling coach. So some of that stuff was incorporated. I still have'nt seen some of the drilling that his father introduced as seen on other/current wrestling team practices.

You need to work on your writing, among other things. Anyway, if you want to dog it you'd best stay clear of wrestling. You'd be shocked at how rigorous it is if you ever trained for real.
You ever been in a wrestling room with a serious program preparing for competition? Unless its kiddy-time or some half-assed 'club' program, there's no walking in the park.
