Martial Arts (16)

Anonymous Enthusiast

Anyone interested in martial arts? In general I mean. Which do you study? Why did you choose those?

Is yours practical, artistic, for sport, or what?

I've always been interested, or at least since I read Stephen Hayes books...

Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere to go to receive teachings where I live.

Anyway, I read about them and I know a few techniques from books I've read (not 100% if I'm doing them right though) so I do a sort of shadow boxing for fun/exercise(shut up I know it's lame), and I do some tai chi from time to time, which is really more of a meditation and exercise program than a martial art imo, at least what I know of it is, although I've heard some people actually use it for self-defense so I guess there must be more to it than I've seen.

I'm really interested in To Shin Do, Bujinkan Taijutsu, systema, combat sambo, marine corps martial arts program (not taught to civilians though is it?) and mag krava.

Weeaboo... they just want to be Japanese, or any Asian is okay? (98)

Anonymous Enthusiast

I have always wondered about that. It seems like some weeaboo only wants "authentic" Japanese things, ie Japanese girls, Japanese music, and Japanese people to be friends with, while others seem like they'll take anything/anyone that is Asian. This guy I know is dating a Chinese girl, and he's weeaboo. So, does it depend on the individual weeaboo? Or will they accept all things Asian (Japanese being the best)?

Leaner Abs but...how? (5)

Anonymous Enthusiast

My BMI is 20.56 so I'm barely normal weight and I'm trying to slim down fat I have on my abs but...how can I do this? I've heard lots of ab exercises help but doesn't that just tone the abs under the fat so it doesn't ever show up? Anyone have tips? Thanks!

Model-Building: Why We Do It (3)

W-roar man

Model-Building..... I find that it is not just a useless and nerd-like obsession, but a burning passion that is found in anyone.....
Putting aside the corny into, I find, nonetheless, that model building is a very calming, recreational, hobby. I think that it is wrong for such hobbies to be labeled as "nerd-like" or the such (or is that just me (?_?)
On this Thread, I want to hear what you all think of model-making. what types, why, etc.
personally, I've gotten into GM (Gundam Models for those that don't know) and it's turned out incredibly fun.

Urban Exploration (18)

i should be sleeping

Do any of you do it? I've been naturally curious about the world around me all my life and after reading some of the stories people have (see http://sleepycity.net/posts/67/DIY_Supervillain_Hideout or http://sleepycity.net/posts/77/Not_Another_Standard_Abandonment) I decided I'd start exploring the more neglected areas of the world around me.

I know some of you out there have done something like this, so chime in! Don't be shy.

On being called an otaku (76)

How bad do you have to be before you can be branded as an otaku? What if you only like a couple of manga titles and a couple of anime titles but don’t even own any game systems, will you still be considered an otaku?

Looking for a special hobby. D: (24)

So guys, I'm lookin' for something. But not just any hobby, I'm looking for something that

I can do over the internet
Something that others can benefit from and that I can make other people happy with.

Seriously, I've got so much free time, and I want to put it to good use, if I'm not able to do anything else.

If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great.

Arigatou. :3

Please help! I don't want to be an otaku anymore! (132)

Anonymous Enthusiast

I will be entering college this September, and as much as I like anime and manga, I don't want to be an otaku anymore. It is not like I don't enjoy them--of course I do, but I don't want to be known as a nerd anymore, and being a freshman in college, starting anew, will give me the opportunity.

It will be too painful if I just throw away/give away my collection at once, so I want to do it slowly. I don't know how I am going to manage doing that though... it seems like such a waste!

Anyway, I hope you guys can shed some light and opinion into how I can do it in a less painful manner. There is only a month more before I head to college, so I should start doing it now!

Girls in the Gym (16)

>=O

I really hate it when I see girls in the gym putting 5lbs on a machine and "lift weights". You're not doing anything. Go home and come back when you are ready to exersize.
