I'm 52 and I practice some JKD with friends and I wrestle a lot with my daughter with a little mix of jiujitsu and judo(small circle throws, strangling, and striking.)
Besides swimming, I think wrestling is a great all around conditioner...it is not for everybody.
My daughter enjoys the practice and has already used some of the techniques when threatened by boys bigger then her.
Recently she tried out for the volleyball team in her high school. She didn't make it, but she outlasted most of the team members when they did all the physical exercises and drills without huffing and puffing. She just needs to work on her skills, but doesn't have to worry too much about stamina and that's without working out at all in summer other than a little wrestling after I get home from work.
