hi ryanhall, actually I disagree with part of your statement above.
Of course Tennis is a game and not a MA but let me tell you that serious singles match is a very serious mental fight indeed and also to train very seriously at Tennis (I did, a long time ago, almost turned pro, well kind of) strengthens the mind no end, I can tell you that a 5 hour match in very hot temp on a slow surface with money bets placed, will categorically prepare a person for any kind of duel on earth
Mentally, and as you know, the mental part is very important.
Sure Tennis doesnt give you a punch or a kick or a takedown but toughens it does (on a decent level, not your weekend friendly at the park)
