I don't like to do combat sports/Martial arts

So this is something I wanted to say for long ,

I don't like to do combat sports because in general , I don't like to our myself in a position where I am getting hit physically constantly that's why.

Personally I don't believe in violence unless it's for self defence and even if Martial arts the only way to learn self defence, I still don't want to do it.

I respect people who practice these things but it's not for me and lately I know a large group of people look down upon me when I say this
