Anybody ever take classes in martial arts/self-defense? I'm registering for classes and I need to take a physical activity course and these caught my eye, although I've never been into combat or UFC. Would these be any fun? Or else I might just sign up for tennis (I'm a big tennis player) or yoga and hope some hot girls will be in the class.

You don't need to be big into fighting to take a karate class - actually probably better that you're not. Guys who get all amped up on the karate/fighting thing probably aren't the kind of student that get very far in classes anyhow.
I took karate when I was a kid, only made it to my red belt - but it was fun, good excercise and I really liked it. I quit when I moved towns, but one of my buddies stuck with it and got his black belt & was instructing classes there to knock off some of the class fees.
It's a positive experience, and I'd try something new if I was you. Tennis is fun, but broaden your experience base in life. Worst thing, you get college credit & quit at the end of the quarter, but at least you gave it a shot. You may end up liking it & want to stick with it.
If nothing else you will never use the word "ouch" again. I hate guys that say "ouch" over little stuff. If you're really hurt, you'll yell a cuss word. "Ouch" is for girls.

Man, it's hard to decide. Yoga is sissy, but there might be hot girls. To be honest I don't like fighting but I just figured it would be cool to learn some defense techniques plus it would be good research for a thing I'm writing. One of my friends took tae kwon do a long time ago and he got pretty far.
I'm a 1337 tennis player though, i want to pwn the instructor, and it would be easy so it would take a load off my schedule.Comment

I'd view the whole karate thing as good excercise if I was you. It won't magically transform you into Bruce or any Gracie, that takes years & years.
You'll learn the right way to make a fist & form for punching, but really just focus on the excercise, you aren't ready for a cagematch for a real, real long time.
Or take tennis and own the instructor if the rest of your schedule is tough. Yoga sounds like a bunch of hefty chicks trying to avoid tennis to me.
