what sports do you do?
 

if any?

i do 5 a side football but would like to take up an induvidual sport, so i'd like suggestions on what induvidual sports are fun and also to know what sports you do (doesnt have to be induvidual) just because im nosey.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Football, golf and badminton mainly. I've just started playing squash too. I'll play most sports really. If you class running and weight training as sports i do those too.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Squash 2-4 times a week at uni, football once a week on average ( :( ). Very occassionally badminton. Im up for doing almost any sport, but its the sheer hassle of organising that many people at one time that ****s it all up.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I also play badminton and squash (very badly). Im getting back into tennis also.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I do football, weight lifting, running (like JC says, dubious 'sports') and rarely tennis. I have planned for ages to do squash and (restart) badminton, and have had recent urges to start playing cricket.

Like Deffeh, I'm up for any sport, but there aren't many other people who are. Cricket for example would be almost impossible to arrange.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Only football from time to time but 10 years ago I played in organised football, tennis and bball. Back then I was fit too tho. Hmm maybe there is a connection there?

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I used to do fencing, which is the sport I would take up again if I had to choose one.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

that's why im looking for an individual sport now that i have more time on my hands

Re: what sports do you do?
 

hockey!

occasionaly i also do some running, tennis and football.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Squash is fantastic fun. Almost every point is like the most fun rally in tennis that comes along every half hour or so. Easy to pick up, and theres room to be proud of your game.

Before the start of summer i had actually became pretty good. Unfortunately ive not played since may so ill now be rubbish

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Golf.

And SCUBA Diving if that counts :/

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I play water polo.

It's pretty fun if you're good at swimming

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Golf and Ice Hockey

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I occasionally do stuff with a hockeyball and hockeystick.

Not that often though, 15 hours a week maybe max, and then a various number of hours coaching.
The occasional running ofcourse and that's about it.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I sometimes play 5 a side football though not as often as I would like. The main sports I play are squash and badminton, mainly due to being much easier to organise like someone else mentioned. I also go to a driving range once a week - am too shit to even attempt a golf course yet.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Did karate for 4 years, haven't done that for a year now. Taking up Ju-jitsu in October, would appreciate any advice if we have some experts here. Isn't Jenny a Ju-jitsu fanatic?

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Cycling.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I used to shoot quite a bit for cadets, but since i'll have to be leaving at the end of next week, i don't think i'll be doing much more of that until after uni and i can afford to get my own rifle

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Golf, get lessons straight away tho or ur swing will b pap - like mine

Re: what sports do you do?
 

football

or

cycling

Re: what sports do you do?
 

swimming

Re: what sports do you do?
 

and vaseline and your anus!

Re: what sports do you do?
 

golf really isnt a sport guys. no more than darts, and i wasnt as arrogant to include that, so dont include golf

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Golf is a sport. It may not be the most active of sports but it is a sport. Darts are a sport also.
I used to play a little golf and found it very entertaining and if you don't rent a cart it is a nice long walk to boot.
When I was younger I played a lot of basketball and baseball.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

i don't think of you as tall :/

Re: what sports do you do?
 

(almost) 7 years of cage fighting. Getting your nose broken 4 times makes you a real looker!

Re: what sports do you do?
 

You don't have to be tall to play basketball. I also didn't say that I was good at it. I was rather good at baseball but not at the others.

As to height, I was, in the flower of my youth 6' 1". I am now a more sedate 6'. 215 lbs.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

you'll be a/s/l-ing and offering photos next ...

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Having no idea what a/s/l-ing is, I can't deny it.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Anal sex and lubing.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

football, badminton, cycling (well i dont own a car), a bit tennis.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I get out of bed in the morning.







Occasionally I play football but it's a distant second to going to the pub. I always end up playing some kind of sport if I go to beach actually.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

cycling is always good, i also very occationally play in-line hockey, generally when we are very drunk and looking for something to do nowadays though, so plenty of injuries there :( I used to play 7 a side football in a league and also run, christ i used to be fit :(

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Weight lifting/fitness at the gymn

I would like to get back on muay thai or try wing chun but I don't have much time on my hands nowadays.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I play football, tennis, rugby and cricket, then i turn the PS2 off.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Closest would be Eskrima for now, though I don't intend on getting back into any sort of traditional sport again.


In the past though I have done gymnastics, indoor cricket, hockey, rock climbing, table tennis in that order.

If your looking for an individual sport Embroglio i highly recommend rock climbing. It's fun, relaxing and challenging. Most indoor venues there will be some degree of by yourself climbing you can attempt, but at worse you will need a second person to belay you, and most of the time there is an instructor onsite that can do this for you. Outdoor climbing unless you know what your doing and have a slightly suicidal tendacy has a definate requirement for at least a partner to assist you.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Dancing on a Friday and Saturday nights is the closest I come to a regular excercise routine. I occasionally jog and I do walk an awful lot.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I go to the gym and swimming most nights. I'm off in half an hour to play badminton, although that will be the first time in about three years. I hope to start playing football again soon.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Seconded. Though the great outdoors can't be beaten, really.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I climb go climbing
its fun and there are lots of fit boys with no t-shirts on hauling themselves up the wall (if you like that sort of thing)
but it isnt really an individual sport as you need someone else on the other end of the rope
most indoor walls will have a singles night for people who dont have a climbing partner though

Re: what sports do you do?
 

i thought you play rugby :confused:

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Typing on an internet forum is about my limit.

Occasionally lifting a pint or two...

Re: what sports do you do?
 

qbll.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I walk long distances.
I also hit other people in a controlled environment -- Jujutsu.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

I'm taking it up in October (as I said earlier in the thread). Any advice you can give me? Would be much appreciated :)

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Football, snooker and rugby in about that order.

Squash is meant to be a good individual sport, it's something I want to take up when I move.

Re: what sports do you do?
 

At your service.

Where do you live? I might be able to point you to a club. I do Foundation ('Shorinji kan') jitsu. Foundation jitsu is good because there are clubs all over the country teaching the same style, and running their club in pretty much the same way. This means wherever you are in the country, you can turn up at a Foundation club and be able to train with them, and you'll have a ready-made bunch of friends if you ever move to a new area. It also means that twice a year we can all get together on a mat in Birmingham and train with the best part of a thousand different people.

As far as "my style of jitsu is so rock hard I could kill other styles' students with my hands behind my back" goes, you won't hear it form me. I can't tell you what will work for you, but I will tell you that jitsu is suitable for pretty much anyone, unless you're particularly frail, I wouldn't recommend it for pensioners. Unless you've got a physical disability, you should be able to do everything the rest of us do at jitsu, or at least, attempt it =]

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Thanks for showing up :)


I did karate up to second kyu, so I'm used to knocks, etc. My karate master was also a black belt in Ju-jitsu, and a Master of Weapons, meaning that we did a lot more than just basic Wado-Ryu - had the mats out a lot, etc. However, I don't know much more than that.

I'm quite looking forward to taking up something totally new, and I'm in Cardiff (Cathays/Roath area) if that helps. If you could point me to a club or a list of them in the area, I would be much obliged. I'm just a normal human, no known heart defects or the like :p

Re: what sports do you do?
 

Go to UWIC Jitsu @ NIAC, Cyncoed Campus, Cyncoed, Cardiff on Monday, 20:30 – 22:00 and Wednesday, 20:30 – 22:00.

Tell them Poogle send you.

Also, if I can get my hands on training times for it, there's another club, which is a different style - Aiuchi. Aiuchi started life as something of a splinter group of TJF, there's quite a bit of politics involved which you're more likely to hear about if you train with Aiuchi than TJF. Aiuchi is not as wide spread as TJF - you can find a TJF club within reasonable distance of most British cities. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend attending this Aiuchi club because the instructor is absolutely brilliant (though I've heard great things of Cardiff's TJF instructor too, what the hell, train at both of them!)
