It's better than being a nail, I'm told.

I bake from time to time, play football, go running, and I've recently acquired a squash racquet.  A bit of creative writing too.

I play a lot of football. I'm a fucking colossus at the back.

A lot of golf..and masturbating natch.

Archery mainly. The odd bit of mountain biking, nothin' serious, just local woodland trails.

Firm believer in the three Rs: Read, Run, Relax...by drinking

DJ, you used to train in Wing Chun? 
I've been training in this for the last 6 months, really enjoying it.

Im a PT by trade so spend most of my free time training in the gym, running, I've been doing karate for nearly 15 years now and I'm often training with my sparring partners and karate mates when I'm not teaching. Like I said above I enjoy Wing Chun too and Krav Maga as well. 

I also chase wimminz, often to comedic results as my twitter followers will attest.

@Wookie Yeah - I was pretty into it way back at uni (more than 10 years ago now) but fell out of practise after uni. 
Went back to it (same sifu, but the city centre club he runs rather than the uni club) after my 30th cos I figured I should get back into some decent exercise - bit harder to make the time of an evening than when I was a student cos, well, I was a student innit  
Need to get a new car so I can get back to the club - thought about doing karate at a local club cos it would be easier to get to, but I think I need to dedicate to one thing to push past that intermediate plateau that I often get myself stuck at. Krav Maga always sounded useful as well

I paint murals, portraits and cook and occasionally time travel to make j1m1 lol.

Yeah - I would like to check out other styles as well, but like you say the most important and useful thing is to get good at one thing first, them branch out.
After 15 years, you must be pretty shit hot at karate which style is it?

Maybe if i get back to the club once i get a new car, a few years hard graft will get my competence up - I havent got that central core competence (or fitness levels either). Need to get into the sparring because that and the chi sau drills felt the most use parts - did jiujitsu with some mates way back in school but it was all belts and gradings, only learning rote moves but not how to fight. Locks and throws and fun stuff, but no practical application - fun for a bit but a bit of a swizz if you only put together the moves to learn how to fight with them as a system when you get to black belt! Wing chun from the ukwckfa was always taught to us to be practical from day one, which is one of the things I like most about it.

Oh, sorry just realised I didn't answer your question about my karate style. It's Wadoryu.

I also like playing guitars and riding bikes.

Basketball, mainly. Watching lots, but play on Monday nights, and now help coach on Thursday nights which has been AWESOME. Dunno what else really, drink lots of coffee, read and post here.

Maybe you should look into flying drones and killing other humans at the behest of some other cunt.

I've just started a new hobby by writing short stories. Just started really and I am coming to the end of my first short story. My fiance said it was good but I dont know. I just had the ideas rolling around my head and thought I would write it all down.

Edit: Otherwise I watch a lot of films and watch any rugby I can. I am slightly obsessed with the sport.

I am learning piano and occasionally play guitar. I am not great at either, I happen to be one of those people who can be 'pretty alright' at a lot of things but not exceptional at anything. Does my head in.
