Married men into the GYM, MMA, BJJ, etc... r your wives into it too?

Question

Do opposites really attract, or is she a fitness fanatic too? just curious...

Answer 1

My wife loves to workout and she loves that I'm active.If you're asking if she likes that I teach MMA,then the answer would have to be yes,and if I fight,then that would be a big fat NO!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

My wife is 50/50. Sometimes she'll get into it, and sometimes it annoys her. She does like watching me roll though, on occasion. And she's been to most of my tournaments...

Answer 3

While I was training in Taekwando my wife became interested in Wing Chun Kung Fu. She earned a few ranks and had to stop because of tennis elbow. She still does her forms as a work out and meditation. I wouldn't call her a fitness fanatic. She does try to stay reasonably active and fit.

Answer 4

my wife hates it-she's seen me get choked out and pass out, and break a rib in karate class, so i guess kind of understandable from her POV

Answer 5

Mine is definitely not into Kung Fu or MMA.  But she is very much into fitness, hers being running and cardio/strength classes at the gym.  I hate to run (though I must on my tests) and do not do any strength training with machines or weights.

For a successful relationship, it is healthy to have similarities and opposites.

One of my Kung Fu brothers' wife does not work out at all, and others, both husband and wife do Kung Fu.   So I guess it takes all types...

Answer 6

My GF trains a lot too. Though I'd be happier if she was in gymnastics or something, then I wouldn't be as worried.

Answer 7

My wife has done it and took one lesson from me, but she's not into it now at all.  In fact, she wants me to quit but has resigned herself to martial arts being a part of our lives.  

However, when I've had to use the moves to calm down unruly family members, she's been glad I've continued to train.  Never had to bash any heads, but have had to move and parry on folks to let them know what could happen if I wanted to hurt them.
