I don't know, but I am also interested in martial arts, if that serves
as a data point.
I was on my way of getting an orange belt in Shotokan Karate when I
unfortunately had to stop due to some personal problems (I was, then,
entering the University, which was a bit more more a decade ago).
I tried to get back when I was finishing my degree, but I lacked
proper shape to survive the training sessions (and how intense they
are!).
But I can see one aspect where using an Open Source operating system
(especially if you're not using a mainstream architecture like x86) is
similar to a martial art: both require steady and constant efforts to
get good results, but once you get them, you have a personal
satisfaction that is difficult to describe to others who have not had
the pleasure to experience them.
