just an off-the-wall question

how many of you invest time and/or money into martial arts/fencing/archery/other nerdy sports?

i myself love thai boxing and want to get into capoeira...tried fencing but it's pretty expensive and difficult....love archery!

My name is...something..?

Lol, "other nerdy sports."

I used to do martial Arts, but just stopped caring after a while.
After that, I got into good old fashioned American boxing.:)

I used to take kung fu lessons about four years ago but I stopped since it was getting rather expensive and I had my GCSE's coming up

I'm on the waiting list for fencing classes. Because I have an unhealthy obsession with swords, and no other means of keeping fit :D

I did fencing for three years and kickboxing for three months. Karate for two months. Fencing was loverly, but the equipment and stuff is pretty darned expensive. Did try archery once, but soon (after like 15 minutes soon) it became pretty clear that I sucked at it.

I tried fencing a bit. I really liked it, however I'm poor, and as was mentioned earlier, the equipment is damned expensive.

I used to take tai kwon do when I was a lot younger, but stopped. Now I'm looking into getting into Muay Thai.

I've trained in boxing, tai chi and jujitsu. I haven't learnt archery or fencing, but I have done them, and they were fun. And I also kick ass at archery :D:D:D

I invest both time and money into taekwondo. For almost a year now! It's good stuff; definitely the best exercise I've ever had.

When I was a teenager, I invested quite a lot of my free time on Martial Arts (Kung fu) too. It lasted for around two years or so before I got busy and stopped going for the lessons. :(
