Can you help me find something else to train in?

A couple of years back I was training in Capoeira and I loved every minute of it. It was a very social environment, it was fun, I increased my flexibility, speed, coordination and because we would do daily Rodas, cardiovascular endurance. I want to get back into it. The problem is that the only studio in the state is running on a schedule I can't reconcile with my work schedule. I want train in something similar that I can actually fit into my schedule, maybe something a little bit more common that would have more than just one studio in the state. I've tried a Taikwondo and Wing Chun and they were definitely more practical in self defense but they just didn't have the same social atmosphere or the same physical demands

    Muay thai! Very popular nowadays and it's very good for self defense. It's a devastating style.
