who here is into practice of martial arts or sports? I know Clayton is a judoka. Kelvin is into western martial arts, I think. who else?
I'm into the whole "you have to train your mind before you can train your body" thing. So I'm all like
I was a yellow belt in Karate when I was a kid though. So you better not f*** with me.
can you please articulate where the two divide?
Neodoxy must first study the theory of human action before he can practice it!
Sports: Swimming (and life gaurd), baseball, and to a lesser extent basketball
Martial Arts: Nothing formal, I have had some training from a Marine friend due to the nature of my old job in which "bouncing" was an important aspect of it.
Because of my new line of wor,k when I have the time and money I do very serious strength and endurence training in my legs, back, and abs - and no I'm not ripped

did he train you in mcmap? some of that stuff is applicable to bouncing.
It was very informal - I have no idea about most technical wording used, or the geneology of applications. I would imagine so, but he was an old salty dog experinced in the bar industry - so I have no clue where he was comming from exactly I was 20 yr old brat he was 45 yr old Biker and vet.
In truth though: while Iam glad he helped, and it was beneficial, most of the "boncing" instincts for me came with practice. The best part of the "training" for me was learrning how to think in motion, dealing with physicality, and keeping a certain composure - all very useful but inthe end, as with any trade, a lot of it you just have to learn with experience.
well then it wasnt mcmap, it was line or just old school ass whuppin. mcmap is newer.

what is your time for 20k?
I did Aikido up to green belt and play soccer. Aikido was more a form of fitness training for me than anything. My real defense is being a high level sprinter. Unless I was boxed into some small space like an elevator I wouldn't need any other means of protection.
I boxed in Golden Glove (not nationals) for several years as a kid, played football and basketball through high school, helped teach self-defense while in college and now I just run regularly and practice boxing and jeet kune do informally.

20 + years of Ji Do Kwan [Tae Kwon Do,] 9 + years Tai Chi, plus I've studied the philosophy of Aikido for around 10 years. Also, philosophically speaking, what Bruce Lee called "the art of fighting by not fighting" . As a child I studied western style boxing.

I did Wing Chun for a bit. I did Tai Chi for a few months before I got bored and left. I'm considering Yoga next even though it's not a martial art.
10 lessons in Jeet Kune Do. Had to stop because it was getting too expensive at over $300 a month. Would love to get back into it soon but will be climbing a mountain this summer and barely have enough time to train for it ERGO I'm a boss.
