Hello,
In this topic you can discuss your favorite sport(s) and/or thier teams.

Have fun

-Brandon

I'm not a Taekwondo practitioner for no reason I do like the sport. It's quite healthy and not too intense for me (since I don't and I can't spar so I go for something softer, like Poomsae [Google that, or you might've seen that video I posted in the chat thread] ).

I like Baseball and Football (American... not Soccer :D).

Bump!

Hmm... How often do you play those though?
For mine, I will at least have one training session a week. But other times, whenever I'm free and not doing anything at home, I'd just kick around for fun

let me kick in; Well, I don't have a passion for sports, nor watch them, but if for fooling around with some friends, I would prefer soccer (football!) or volleyball, if for physical activity, right now I'm trying to come back to doing exercise, so I'm doing a little every morning, I'm trying to get back to maintaining a constant habit, and it's been nearly half a year since I did tae bo, the senseis surely have forgotten me XD, but I sure couldn't keep with that because of the classes, assessments, duties, etc... psychology is really taxing.

I don't play them so much as watch them. I do play a pickup game every now and then of baseball or the occasional touch football, other then that though, I really just watch the sports.

I actually don't enjoy watching sports as much. Don't find it as much exciting than actually doing it, but I'm not a very sporty person as well, meaning that I won't always take the initiative to play sports. But exercising, well, occasionally, but given how bad the security is at where I am now, I don't really dare to go exercise alone.

And Vic, I'm not sure how things are there but my senseis here will almost always remember their students, at least that's for the 3-4 of the senseis I've trained with before.

Ooooh, where do I begin?!? Well my older brother was almost a national champion wrestler, two of my best friends were great as well, one was a mvp in basketball tournaments, the other one was almost a national champion track runner in the junior Olympics in 200m I believe which is very hard since it is short distance so stamina and speed used at a quicker rate to get better results. I made it my goal to be these people and well I can wrestle my brother and be pretty even, I got myself the capacity to run 22 miles at once during high school and I would spend everyday playing basketball until I could beat my mvp friend. It took me all four years of high school and practicing basically everyday and wearing down terribly on my knees before I could beat him and we became evenly matched--keep in mind he never stopped practicing. I had got into weight lifting and became obese in muscle by having about 12-13 more pounds in muscle than the weight I should have according to the body mass index.

Favorite sports: wrestling, basketball, swimming( too therapeutic and relaxing on muscles , and weight training. I would say running but that's not really a sport
Goal: to be like Goku or Rock Lee xDD

Now I do weights to stay fit and toned and I play basketball occasionally along with swimming occasionally.

Understandable!

It's best not to overexert your body, and especially the knee. It only gets worse as you age, and one of my masters was just admitted to the hospital cause his knee cap is almost entirely broken now. He's just 50+ this year too, and still have quite some years ahead of him cause he's very fit despite his age. I'm quite worried about him.

Yes, I do regret it.. I didn't stretch like I should've or used my muscles 100% correctly with perfect form either, so more wear on the joints but I have taken a good year and a half+ to let everything heal without going crazy like I did before, but after trying to do a 1000 push ups a day with sit ups my right shoulder pops unexpectedly every now and again, fortunately it doesn't hurt. I regret doing all the push ups without going to war to put it to use so to speak lol. Now my primary way to workout is brisk walks and swims with some weights as mentioned earlier and of course stretching. Basketball and wrestling is for fun-- my older sister whom I didn't know my whole life until about 2 years ago wanted to wrestle me the other day and she was cocky. I weigh only about 120 pounds but so did Bruce Lee right?? Anyways I got her to tap in like 10 seconds, but I did go all out not wanting to lose to my older sister when i'm almost 20 years old.
