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.
It's a hygiene barrier you have to overcome. I don't like sparring with sweaty, musky people, but I do it and then take a nice hot shower afterwards

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).
