My mother demanded that I pick "an activity to make me more graceful" when I was 16. She would pay for it, and there had to be one, but I got to pick it. I did yoga for 6 months. Swimming for like ever (but I hate the water). Archery. Cycling. I wrangled my best friend into it (he loved it, the Y is big with gay men).
People touch you gently in yoga, and I really don't like that.
Give him some options. You can pick it, but you have to do it. He would probably like the firmness and squashing of akido (I loved that). Pilates is also muscle resistive. Boxing. Cross fit is pretty big right now.
