Tournament competition has made my son want to do strength and conditioning to improve his performance, which is super cool to me.
Shameless video time, my son is in the red and black.

My grandmother was a Judo instructor into her 70s. She was a 4th degree black belt (Yodan). One of my big regrets is not getting into it under her instruction when I was a kid.
BJJ is another one I'd like.
Now, I'm damn near 40, and I'm afraid that martial arts training would interfere with my weight training too much. Not to mention time, I'm spread thin enough as it is.
