New Hobby / Sport.?

Ok, so I am 25, a 2nd degree black belt, and I love to bowl and go to the movies. I have been thinking a lot about taking a break from martial arts to learn other things / new hobbies/sports.





So my question is this, what are some interesting cool hobbies, or sports I can learn. I thought it would be cool to make a list of things I want to learn and do a new thing each month. Social / group / sports are particularly interesting to me, and things with interest groups so I could meet new people.





Some Ideas I have had was Pool, Tennis, skating/ice skating, A different martial art ( I take taekwondo) various sports(especially ones that will further improve my balance and coordination for martial arts)








Thanks.

Reply:you should join a swingers club. me and the neighbors have one, it's great!
Reply:Rock climbing. If you find people who you can trust, it's a great group sport.
Reply:Rock climbing, scuba diving, kickboxing, and frisbee golf are fun activities. You may also try learning different weapons in your martial arts class. My mom is working on her 2nd degree black belt in tae kwon do and a first degree black belt in weapons. She has a lot of fun performing katas with swords and bo.
Reply:You may work for border patrol or a minuteman helper.
Reply:Ultimate frisbee!


It's a great team sport .... very social.


It will definitely help with your agility. Lots of quick starts/stops/changes of direction. Lots of air time. Will improve your endurance.


Lots of fun!!!!
Reply:If you are in East Asia, why not try badminton? There are many on-line groups in South East Asia who play in Court Queing. Badminton is fun and you can meet many other people who has the same interest in the sport. However, beware of *** holes :)

If Bruce Lee were alive?

If Bruce Lee were alive, what would he say to Quentin Terentino for making a movie like Kill Bill that dishonoers the martial arts, and has someone like Uma Thurman dressed up like him? Mature answers only please.

If Bruce Lee were alive?
He disgraces awesome fighters and martial arts masters like Lee.
Reply:What was wrong with the movie? How does it dishonor martial arts? It wasn't realistic, it was meant more to be artsy than realistic. I doubt Bruce would have a real problem with it.
Reply:Hiiiiii-Ya
Reply:Bruce Lee wouldn't say anything. He would kick Quentin's a**!
Reply:its just a movie dude as an actor and movie maker he may of said it was a great movie but who am i to say im not him ask him when u die :)
Reply:I dont suppose Bruce Lee would take it as seriously as you.
Reply:Some people believe Bruce Lee died due to complications after being kicked in the head during the filming of a movie in Thailand, and others claim he was assassinated with a type of Dim Mak. Believe what you want to. Bruce Lee was planning to get the role for the Kung Fu series, but David Carridine got it instead which displeased Bruce but he showed he didn't need the part. I think Bruce Lee, would show Quentin Terentino respect, and let people do what they want to. He would say, "Be like water."
Reply:Mate, get over it. Bruce Lee isn't alive, and even if he was what the hell do I care what he would think about Tarantino, or the war in Iraq, or the economy. He was just a man, not Jesus, or Buddha, or any other deity. Make up your own mind.

Long lost kung fu movie...?

There is a kung fu movie that used to be on the old "samurai sunday" back in the old days. I think it's a classic shaw brother's film. It's about 2 shaolin temples that are rivals, and there are 3 main characters that go and challenge the rival school. One learns the iron palm, the other learns the piercing finger technique, and I can't remember exactly what the third guy did, but it was probably acrobatics or weapon techniques. I want to track this movie down. does it sound familiar to any of you martial arts fans out there?

Long lost kung fu movie...?
I can only think of Invincible Shaolin. The story pits Northern shaolin teachers against Southern shaolin teachers of the manchu army. A manchu general (Wang Lung Wei) schemes to have his coaches challenged by rival northern shaolin teachers. The nothern and southern shaolin masters learn of the plot way too late.
Reply:I'm not a martial arts fan, but your question intrigued me enough to look up info on the Shaw Brothers. I have linked an article at Wiki which lists many of their movies along with pics of the actors. I'm hoping it will help you locate the one you want.

Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia)?

Man this movie looks awesome. As a huge fan of the old B-grade kung fu movies and Jet Li, I am eagerly waiting for the release of his final martial arts epic on the 20th. For all you kung fu movie fans, what was your favorite kung fu flick of all time?

Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia)?
I have a few...the epics first...





Bride with White Hair (aka) Bai fa mo nu zhuan


-starring Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin





Swordsmen 2 (aka) Xiao ao jiang hu zhi dong fang bu bai


-starring Jet Li and Brigitte Lin





Fighter in the Wind (aka) Barumi Fighter


-starring Dong-kun Yang








and all the Bruce Lee films...








BY the way....Fearless....was superb....excellent. Jet's best movie on all levels. Peace.
Reply:The movie that actually got me started in Martial Arts films was "The Matrix." But some of my faverite traditional kung fu movies that I like include, "Dagger 8, Hero, Kung Fu Hustle, and The Medalion."
Reply:I'm not a big fan of kung fu movies, but I if I had to pick one, it would be "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106770/ ), not only because it is a true story but also because the fight scenes serve to *enhance* the story as opposed to *being* the story. (I find many kung fu movies similar to pornos in that they have no real plot; they're just a series of fight [or sex] scenes one after the other.) Also, the fighting in "Dragon..." is done at a moderate pace, which I prefer to the frenetic pace of some of the Chow-Yun Fat and Jet Li movies I've seen. It's hard for me to watch fight scenes when hands and feet become a blur.





I also like the "The Karate Kid" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087538/ ) and "Best of the Best" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096913/ ) ... Do they count?

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the show that used to be on Sunday or Thursday night?

He was divorced and she was also or was single and they started to date and her sister worked in a book store - what is the name of the actress that played the part. He also starred in a movie where Halle Berry took martial art lessons to finally kill him - what is his name and the name of the actress that he starred in this show with?

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the show that used to be on Sunday or Thursday night?
Are you thinking about Laura Linney and Bill Campbell in Tales of The City?


Bill Campbell also played the wife-beating husband in "Enough". However, his wife that later takes martial art lessons and kills him was played by Jennifer Lopez, not Halle Berry.

Help deciding on a hobby?

I'm taking up a hobby in the near future, and I can't decide between the following:





Martial Arts (I've watched too many Chuck Norris movies)





Dance (I've wanted to know how to dance since I was a kid and saw Grease)





Music (I've always got catchy little tunes running through my head, just not sure how to get them out...)





Running (I already do light jogging and weightlifting, I'm talking about hardcore, organized running)





So, which would you reccommend and why?

Help deciding on a hobby?
Music, get those catchy tunes out of your head.





Running, it's cheaper than martial arts and he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.

What should I get my boyfriend for valentines?

We've been dating 5 1/2 months now. I got some chocolate, and I am maybe going to give him a picture of me, because he's asked for one before. Anyway, I don't want to get him just that. I want to give him something else too, but I don't know what. Here's a little about him if it gives any ideas. K, so he is a real quiet type, doesn't like a whole lot of people. He likes watching movies, likes family guy, and loves martial arts and stuff like that (He's taken lots of classes and stuff for it). Um, he likes candy, but not a whole lot, and I already got him some of that. I don't know if any of that helps, but if you have any ideas, that'd be great (btw, we're 17)

What should I get my boyfriend for valentines?
Get him a movie and spend the night on the couch watching it with him.
Reply:maybe make a "coupon for a movie night" and you can treat him to a movie? don't do to much since ya'll havent been dating that long.
Reply:most guys dont care about valentines so im sure wut ever u get him he'll be happy
