Beside the martial arts? Do you have other hobbies that you enjoy?

[stone_dragone]

Spending time with the family, riding the FZ1 (zoomy motorcycle), rock climbing when the chance arises.

I tend to read alot more here in Iraq than I do at home...less distractions that are more fun than what I am doing at the time.

Fishing! Oh man do I LOVE to fish. All types; fly (even though I stink at it yet), stream casting, small lake/pond with hand made boat, Large lake with my antique 18' Lone Star boat, salt water. If it has a line and fish involved I'm game for it.

I would have to say....umm... Tennis. Tennis is a freakin hard game and man is it a challenge. Takes all your concentration to keep the ball in play, drop the right kind of spin and out play your opponent. Nothing like dropping a good top spin serve so the ball kicks up towards your opponents face and see them cringe away. Thats fun.,..

 

[elder999]

I make knives and swords, garden, read, write poetry, short stories and have semi-succesfully sold an as yet unpublished novel. My wife and I are avid campers, hikers,orienteers, mountaineers, bikers, kayakers, triathletes, and I run in ultra-martahons. We used to do mountain search and rescue, but we don't have time....

I garden, play chess, sing, play a bunch of musical instruments.

and I worry alot.....

I agree! I played for over 22 years. My favorite was putting a flat serve right down the centerline so fast that the ball was past my opponent before they even had enough reaction time to see it.:lol2:

For the record, I hated you top spin guys. Always made me look bad when I got "faced" with one o' those.

I mostly started using top spin serves out of utility. I couldn't hit a nice hard serve without going outside the service box. The top spin serve really helps me keep it in play and freak the hell out of people that have no idea what I am doing. I'm workng on putting a little side rotation on the ball to kick the ball towards the backhand side, but its sure not easy

That's hella cool to see another MA tennis player Woot!!
