Does this happen a lot in martial arts? I don’t like anyone to touch me (especially feet) & what’s a good one for me?

OP seriously? You don’t like being touched, yet you want to partake in an activity that involves nothing BUT touch (especially aggressively)?

It’s like me saying I want to swim but I don’t like the water.

🤦🏻‍♀️

You can make this a solo activity...it’s a demonstrative sport too, not just a combat one

What do you mean? Yes, there is bag work, but any martial arts training worth your while requires sparring and sometimes grappling. Working on your form is the first step before using it in matches.

If you’re looking for non-contact martial arts I’d choose one that has a non-contact performance-oriented aspect like wushu or tai chi (minus sanshou), recognizing that it’s more about discipline and fitness rather than self-defense at that point. As a former piano major, I didn’t want to engage in any activity that would jeopardize my hands growing up, and that mentality makes it hard for me to pick up something like, say, BJJ (which would otherwise be great to pick up from a practical self-defense perspective).

You can focus on forms within martial arts such as taekwondo and karate - no contact
