Mostly just asking this for a college assignment since I'm a student there, and this is the one I picked out of the twenty I came up with.

Feel free to also answer why you do such exercises, describe the last time you have engaged in physical exercise, and provide any additional thoughts.

Jiu Jitsu. Really fun to grapple hard against an opponent. Unlike striking sports, you can practice pretty hard and mostly avoid injuries. There is a thinking component and a mental strength component making it much more fun than other workouts I do.

Human chess!

Grappling is great because not only do you need to learn strategy, patience, set ups, push pull, etc; you also have to train your body to do what your mind is thinking.

If the body is capable but the mind is weak, you suck. If the mind is capable but the body is weak you suck. And if both are weak, your just like me!

Also it's gender semi neutral. Women can absolutely dominate against men using skill. Same with Davids vs Goliaths.
