Any Athletes?

I know this is a game/computer related site, but I was wondering if any of you play sports, and what you play. I myself am a cross-country runner for a high school, and am fairly good.

 

Hi newbie!

Fencing(6 years so far)
tennis(1year)

Padeen!
(A new newbie on SP)

 

You do Kung Fu?? There are only 4 official Kung-fu schools in the world!! And they ain´t "2 hours in the week schools" but more 24/7

I did 2 years of rugby, then I broke my arm, after that I couldn´t really do more sports
(except being annoying in which I got a black belt and a few throphys)

 

I train Tae Kwon Do, and play a bit football with my friends. I'd like to try fencing but there's no chance of that happening while i still live with my parents

 

I'm a former Cross-Country and track man myself, but I still walk and jog. I also ride my bike and hike in the woods.

 

I'm a swimmer!!! I love swimming, I do it every week! Once I swam everyday, but that changed when I quit the swimming team. I also play soccer once in a while, but swimming is my sport...

 

I swim too, or more accurately, play waterpolo for my school

 

Waterpolo, now that's got to be fun .

I played soccer in high school. Now I just mess around.

 

I do stuff all

 

I play water polo too!!!

 

I'm a springgym instructor, and I'm also doing a lot of trampoline jumping (7 hours a week). I swim two times a week and I work out half an hour each day.

 

I break a sweat playing tiddly-winks sometimes.

Those darn little tiddles.

 

I've been doing Nin-Jitsu for 3 years now and probably continue doing so for a while.

 

Tennis. I love tennis. Even though I suck at it.

 

I train Tae Kwon Do (although less frequently these days). I still do a bit of inline-skating (aka rollerblading), running, and the odd bit of rock-climbing.

On the note about Kung Fu being a 24/7 thing... not really. Kung Fu is just a general term for the fighting systems once used by the Shaolin. There are many, many styles within Kung Fu (Long Fist, Mantis, etc), and there are sub-types within those styles (nothern / southern). In the western world, Kung Fu is typically just a 4-hour-a-week kind of thing (plus whatever you do in your own time).

Padeen, don't your instructors get a bit grumpy that you're attempting to learn three different systems at once?

 

Like Wildfire I also play water polo and volleyball as well as swim. Wildfire where do you go to school? Not too many places in the states have water polo, after all.

 

Me? I don't live in the US, so that might explain it. I go to school in King's College School (I doubt you'll have heard of it), in Wimbledon.

 

Well, I don't consider myself an athlete, but I do play sports.

Basketball
- 6 ft. tall
- outside shooter

Ten Pin Bowling
- 180 avg.
- 15 lbs. ball
- stroker with a semi-power slide
- hook bowler

Pool (9 ball, 8 ball, rotation, etc.)
- I live in the Philippines... duh!

 

yah, eveningdrive, "bata" and "django" all the way!



i also do some basketball and badmintoon.
and cycling for excercise.

for those who don't know what i mean:
"bata" is Efren Reyes, Jr. - (aka "the magician" internationally)
"django" is Francisco Bustamante
both are filipinos and are among the best in the world's pool players.

 

Well I do WuShu Kung Fu - Kung Fu isnt just a martial art, you could do Kung Fu in fishing if you know what I mean (crude translation) - Kung Fu is just the dedication and diciplined practice of an art. Anyway if you don't know, Wushu is the style that Jet Lee (ala Kiss of The Dragon) does.

I also do breakdancing (I mean proper, not what some guys try at clubs) and go to classes for it.

I got many other interests but those are the ones 'athletic/sporty' type that I take seriously. I also do general fitness training for those spors in between (e.g. gym for explosive strength, resistance training & jogging).

I dont know how many of you guys play so many sports, I find myself spreading focus and dedication over both these sports & other interests a bit overwhelming and I'm trying not to become a bard as such by,(warning a hated cliche) becoming a jack-of-all-tades but master of none.
