GrumbleDook Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 I am limited as to what sport I do as I have a dodgy knee from my days wearing green. I used to play football (badly) but also use to run, cycle, swim, fencing, do aerobics, circuit training, rowing, kayaking, canoeing, and then you get onto the fun stuff ... judo, ju-jitsu, aikido, lau gar, wing chun, shorinji kempo, iaido, kendo, kyokushinkai, jeet kune do ... and a few freestyle sesions every so often. Recently I was still fencing, but I have had to put that on hold now. We have just picked up an exercise bike and I am using that to get some level of fitness up so that when I go under the knife again in a few months time I should be able to make most use of the physio / rehab. I am now 3 stone overweight and need to do something!
Uraken Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 grumbledook you sound like a man after my own heart see: http://www.contactcombat.net for clarification.
GrumbleDook Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Ooohh ... the style of ju jitsu I did was under The Jitsu Foundation (it used to be very popular within universities) but was more formally known as Shorinji Kan (taken from shorinji kempo and traditional Kodokan Jiudo) and it has a number of common themes and actions to Krav Maga. I miss it all but know that to continue would only cause more damage to my knee, and possibly put me in a situation where I inadvertantly cause damage to other practitioners due to my failing body.
alonebfg Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 i love sport swimming rugby football (not watching it too much mamby pamby now) also love sailing but due to my bad knees i can no longer do any of the this
StewartKnight Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I used to teach TaeKwonDo, but now the most I do is 5-aside footy every couple of week, and since I broke my foot last time, I haven't even been doing that for a couple of months!
jumpinjamez Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I love sport i think is is natural to do somthing energetic after sitting at Computers all day (and night playing online games) I do circuits twice a week , go the gym, mountain boarding and some free running. I also play Nintendo Wii :-)
StewartKnight Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Who'd be up for an Edugeek golf tournament?
Uraken Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 defo be up for golf stewart although havn't managed to get out much this year yet.
Pottsey Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Nothing wrong with Horse riding I do it to. It’s great you can gallop around in the middle of no where. No technology you can just switch off and relax. Horse's are way better then children.
Netman Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Who'd be up for an Edugeek golf tournament? Oh yes - particularly if we call it a 'conference' - then I can claim mileage allowance!! Just not July as I've scored tickets for the Open at Carnoustie.
john Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Who'd be up for an Edugeek golf tournament? Oh yes - particularly if we call it a 'conference' - then I can claim mileage allowance!! Just not July as I've scored tickets for the Open at Carnoustie. Is your milage rate that attractive?!?

gwendes Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Do 'Wii Sports' count? I cycle in a half- hour every day but the exercise is just a bonus - it's the cheapest, fastest way to travel. I did swim a lot about a year ago but broke my jaw cycling and found breathing difficult so swimming hasn't been resumed (yet)
Jamie_a Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Bit of bodybuilding and powerlifting, last year came 5th in the havyweights in britsh natural bodybuilding, 1st in british under 100kg dead lift and 5th in under 100kg bench press. Comes in handy for running up and down stairs with a 17" crt under each arm.
StewartKnight Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 I was a body builder, but I ran out of bits!
gwendes Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Comes in handy for running up and down stairs with a 17" crt under each arm. You shouldn't be running up and down stairs or in the corridors... Very naughty...
