Hitting yourself on the head with a rock - Works on important physical skills, similar benefits to martial arts. Helps you overcome limitations. Reinforces actual reality of macro-scale objects, even when quantum mechanics is true. Teaches you about the difference between good and bad ideas.
Yeah, a lot of this seems more like rationalizing hobbies than rational hobbies.
I'm cut to the quick. But that does sound useful for anyone who finds himself doubting whether or not "it all adds up to normality," if less extreme measures do not suffice. And I honestly do recommend getting some hard but friendly punches under proper supervision; it's much more fun than it sounds.
"Reinforces actual reality of macro-scale objects" - brilliant :)
