that's a good point. you wouldn't want to be in a serious class if you think of it more as an extracurricular rather than a way of life or anything.. I thought of my classes more as an extracurricular as well, but also, I think the class didn't suit me because you have to find the right style for you. I really think I am more of a tae-kwon-do person even though i've never tried it. I love kicking and kenpo focuses more on grappling. Aikido focuses on counterattacks, from my understanding (how to deflect hits or another person's energy coming at you, a lot of falling down, throwing people, etc.) You need to find the style that best suits your interest.
