Sports.
There are almost 400 sports clubs in the Rhine County Neuss offering a wide range of sports. These clubs give access to sports facilities such as gymnasiums, pitches and sports equipment. Most of the staff members work voluntarily and spend their leisure time coaching teams and sports groups.
Today these clubs are family-like and an important part of German life. They are great places to have fun and to find new friends of all ages. Almost 27% of the people in Rhine County Neuss were members of one of the 641 registered sports associations in 2006.

Martial Arts.
Martians are all over. They'll do so as long as we don not try to attack them. Mars was the Romans’ deity of war and martial arts such as judo and Teakwondo do have a lot to do with fighting but these sports lay more stress on self-defence...
