Coming at this kind of late, but the martial arts Aikido and Chin-na<br>
both have a strong emphasis on hand and wrist strength and flexibility.<br>
<br>
There are several Aikido studios in the twin cities, though you'd have<br>
to check out the kung-fu studios to find one that includes chin-na in<br>
their curriculum.<br>
<br>
Fitness and health are generally important to good mental performance,<br>
so the time and money you would spend on martial arts training would<br>
definitely not be wasted.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I'll definitely echo an agreement on this one. When I was more actively training and getting thrown all over the place courtesy of various wrist locks, my wrists and forearms definitely were doing better in general at the keyboard. <br>
