What are you good at(physically more then mentally). My abilities do aid my hearing and sense of awareness but on my own I'm really good at stealth. I can defend myself. My condition is average. What are you good at brothers and sisters?

You know our brother Goose? I have a hunch he is a great dancer.

Wouldn't be a bad sensing . Tango? Argentina.

Walking is my biggest physical strength. I can walk for miles and miles. I just 'lock on' to my destination and start thinking about stuff. Before you know it I've arrived and I've usually solved a problem or resolved an issue. Its really therapeutic walking. I highly recommend it if you are feeling angry or sad. A nice walk round the park can really calm you down.

Conversely I cannot swim, which is pretty useless of me. Especially as I live on an island and global warming is coming to get us lol!

I can relate on the walking

Same here, walking is a hobby. My ex sometimes called me crazy for walking long distances like from my home to the library and then back home on foot. Swimming is a must for me. And you have to learn swimming since middle school here.

my physical abilities range widely im really tall about 6ft3 with a broad build i can walk forever i am strong and can lift a good amount of weight i am a skilled musician also:D i have a great ear for music i can play anything i hear within the 1st few times,
the bad side to all this is i have minor skoliosis in my lower lumbar region of my spine i have a ruptured disk and possibly arthritis

I'm a walker too! Everyone I know calls me crazy for walking miles even in 0 degree weather. It's like an addiction!

Awesome! And I didn't think he did, I may be wrong(he did AP to your house). Or it may be that other entity stalking you. I'm nervous of dancing but when the rhythm gets in me I can't help it but to dance. Stealth is like my natural stuff. Didn't learn it or anything I am just able to do it and very well. Being sneaky. I think that's the point of survival. And also surviving is the point of the Root-chakra.

hi all im a new member just joining in
id have to say my greatest physically feat would be my will to press forward. in elementary i was very skrony yet moved 10+ people holding a door closed while i was trying to get out to recess, had to do it twice cause they didnt believe i alone moved that door.

p.s. therapists and doctors agree that walking is a very healthy and calming method of relaxation.

Welcome ! And that is great! It's also a part of mindset which plays a really important role.

yea ive always been aware of chi energy when i was in elementary. even in daycare i was different from the rest of the kids. (at least from what my mom said.)

Now you got me lol. When I was in elementary school I wasn't that much spiritual. I was more religious. I still outsmart people in religion but I think more spiritually now. Hand crafts and drawing were my 2 first hobbies, I still love them.

neither was i, i grew up catholic. but i could never accept jesus was someone special. and as i grew older i grew less apart from it. then found a religion called falun dafa. dont know if you herd of it. a friend of mine i lost contact with shared it with me. there are 2 books i grabbed the intermediate book because he said i new everything in the first book. but after i got to the 5th page i read something that made me sick. it was basically saying you are my student and aslong as you are my student i will protect you from illness and empower you with my chi. (this is a chinese religion was founded in 1993) and then it continues to say whenever you meditate focus on diminishing karmic law.
incase you dont understand the gravity of the situation. you have a large community (probly 2/3 of china) of qigong practitioners focused on destroying karma.

sry im rambling i do it often but im working on controlling it.

anyway despite that creepy chapter that book had some very good insights on chi control and growth. aswel as key tips in meditation.

your hobbies are characteristics of a right brained person. random and creative
im more of a physical hobbyist cycling and practicing martial arts (for fitness not fighting lol) in daycare the nuns watching me would try forcing me to take a nap but i couldnt so id either sit there quietly or read a book. my mom told me one time she came randomly and this one nun spanking me for not taking a nap.

It's alright, and that is true and I've been told so . That's a great hobby you have. Fitness. The only hobbies I have in that term is walking and fencing.

nice fencing is to artistic for me LOL was never good in sword fights but i bet i can disarm you
the thing with dealing with someone whos armed when your not is; timing, never strike first, and dont leave your arms out. keep your center of gravity tight, it helps to stand tall with your hands behind your back. sounds crazy but it helps. normally people with a knife or sword go for the center mass (i.e. center of the stomach or face. rarely would they go for your arm and never your feet. then as your opponent lunges take small steps around and toward your opponent. then push his wrist up and weapon down, if he has a good grip go for the elbow.
>.< well now its out there for anyone curious about self defense lol

Counters, yes. I can do it during my epee duels but I'm not allowed to. I also trained a few self defense techniques on my own .

dont you hate rules >.< lol if your making things harder for yourself it should be allowed.
any techniques i may have heard of?

Fencing is something which I've always fancied yet never tried. I play a game where me and another person have to poke each other without being touched by the other person, I guess thats like fencing...

Indeed I do. The balestra lunge is a common one but our teacher keeps telling us not to do it until you completely mastered the basics. I still do it though. Here's a classic renaissance demonstration of it:

The fleche is my favorite move:

And the very first move you simply HAVE to learn is the lunge :

The position which you're in when fencing is called EnGarde.
There is a difference between the modern one and the classical one(s) though
This is the modern one:

These are the classical ones:

Have you ever used a ruler as a sword with a friend   ? It's a classic. There are 3 weapons in fencing: The foil, epee and sabre. You have to begin with only one of them. My weapon of choice is the epee, and frech grip. Which looks like this:

(the one below) The one above is the pistol grip.

Fencing is a great sport as well as physical as mental. 4 things that needs to be in touch: Condition, speed, accuracy and timing. It's like chess but with duels. MAny techniques and moves with their original french names.

yes but the lunge as good as it is as an offensive move can also be your downfall if you miss. the time it takes you to draw back your attack i would have disarmed you or your opponent would dash past you whacking your stomach.

and wouldnt the pistol grip be better??
