I would say I’m a sadomasochist....

Remind me to take a separate car to next practice.

As for discipline - when I started iaido (then kendo a year later) I was a 185lb smoker whose athletic days were long gone. Almost 5 years later I'm 140lbs, not smoking, in the best shape of my life and just finished a 6-month season of biking ~150 miles/week. The cause and effect is really unclear, but kendo couldn't have hurt. I think it showed me what I could do. The discipline was up to me. I'm still not disciplined in other parts of my life.
