Pushpops had a cap but spit would drip down into the push area after a few licks.

I’ve found that small local gyms or martial art schools to be the most welcoming environments if you’re interested in those things and willing to put time into the practice. The people don’t really care about the preexisting societal structure as the school dictates it’s own and everyone is there for the same reason. There are still some shitty groups at predatory institutions so have to watch out for those.
