In my experience aikido can be good for quite an adrenaline rush too. I remember the first breakfall I did--I had just time in midair to think "Hey, this isn't going to be a forward roll, is it?" A moment later I was standing on my feet, breathless but unharmed, going "Whoah! Wow! What was that?"
Never really believed a plumpish forty-year-old computer geek could do something like that.
But I'll second what other people have said--try something, see if it's for you, you don't have to make a lifelong commitment on day one. One of my teachers is dan ranked in both aikido and karate, and I know of other such combos. No one considers them dilettantes.
