I was wondering what with all us geeks here doing a very sedentary thing such as sitting at a 'pooter. Does anyone practice any martial arts as an means of mind/body/spirit exercise kind of hobby? Its possibly the furthest thing away from computer geek'dom which is why i asked the question. Personally i've studied martial arts for over 20 years, covering many different arts/styles. Maybe the fact that i slob around a computer preserves my energy to allow me to still practice. Whats your physical cv away from the pc? You may practice sports instead, but as a martial artist i'm interested to hear from like-minded folks.
I use to practice Jeet kun do. My dad use to study with Kareem Abdur Jabar, if you know who that is. They both played for the Lakers in the 70-80's together. Few of Bruce Lee's many students in California at the time. Now I practice sitting on my back side.
Lol, thats one helluva claim to fame matey. Kareem in the Game of Death with Bruce Lee.......Legendary scenes!
I have studied Wing Chun, and jujitsu, but i am now trying to gain motivation to take a tai chi class. The nearest Dojo is half an hour away, and i don't want to drive an extra hour a day.
I studied Jujitsu and Karate when I was younger, but I stopped going to training when I was about 14. ( Was doing it since I was about 6 )
Yep BJJ was made famous by the Gracie family in the UFC. It doesn't bear much resemblance to traditional JJ as its mostly groundwork, but it is very effective.
