So, what manly arts have we indulged in?

What I've done:

Martial arts, specifically jujutsu, shorinji kempo, wrestling, boxing, classical fencing, and Renaissance swordsmanship.
Drinking (prefer bourbon and the amazing Texas local brews)
Homebrewing
Singing (it's a manly art if used for the purpose of attracting feminine attention)
Angling (Fishing with a pole)
Butchery (mostly fish and deer)
Cigars (I consider it an art)
History (a very manly pursuit, actually, after all)
Practical Politics (I ran a few different election locations when I lived in Indianapolis)
Matrimony
Fatherhood
Carpentry
Plumbing
Philosophy
Running my own business

What I intend to do but have not done.
Freemasonry

OK, you listed hunting, but how about shooting? All us Texans luv our guns! Whats better than goin' out to the country and indiscriminately firing off rounds? Nothing!!

I have done shooting, and I prefer black powder. Since any hunting will be with my father-in-law, it will be with crossbow. That's just how he rolls.

I have never studied Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I studied jujutsu, specifically Daito-ryu, under a retired police officer (Thomas Burdine), so there was a bit of "Now, that's the formal way, but if you try this on somebody who is drunk it might not work."

I love shooting black powder. Getting harder to find though. Fort Worth bans it's sale in the city limits, so it's usually Pyrodex for me.
