My new hobbies

It dawned on me while i was watching the Doha Games that there are a few sports i want to try playing 'properly' before i become too old and rigid or fat...fatt-ER and unable to move. One of those things is sepak takraw. After watching the Doha Games it was apparent that i REALLY wanted to play sepak takraw! watching the agility and flexibility of these players told me i really want to try this game before i really am unable to cope with that sorta movement which i probably can't now hee hee but no harm trying right! er...at the expense of a few u know bones here and there. This game involves a 3 on 3 where players are to play volleyball using their feet! the only part thats not allowed to be used are your hands and to spike the ball the only way...a 360 bicycle...unless some1 is so flexible they can lift their foot straight up and smash the ball downwards haha but i dont think i will ever progress to that stage haha. Here are some painstaking images that would be so cool if pulled off!

Imagine kicking this thing at full speed LoL, this is the Rotan or Bamboo ball used to play! Bloody Australia...if i wanted to bring this ball in they won't let me...i think?...i dont think they will anyway because its made of bamboo. But how mad is this sport! doood all i need is a badminton court 5 more people and its game on! anybody care to join me? haha let me know! this is a must try guys!
Another thing i want to get hang of is the C walk! introduction courtesy of my dancing buddies in aus(ok hes a wannabe shuffler) and i have got to try this and get the hang of it! Its most suitable for the RnB/hip hop genre i would really like to have a go at this! certainly easier on my body than break dancing...haha...infact this was once used by gangs in America to communicate to one another believe it or not! haha this is something else i would like to get around to doing hehe but im more likely to do this than i am to sepak takraw lol


anywayz if anyone is interested in joining me in attempting either sepak takraw or c walk or both!let me know! hehe im a wee bit ambitious bout it would be so cool to play sepak takraw! but err c walk...can really do yourself at home haha but would be fun to get together and attempt it! But football will always be my passion which by the way the red devils won on the weekend again and arsenal aided united by making chelsea draw BOO YAH

What tai-bo man? It's Muay Thai to the fullest! But yea I got respect for those backflipping mofos for what they can do. Almost like a Thai version of Capoeira. But with a bamboo ball.

whats the difference between muay thai and tai bo? haha its soooo cool man i tried to do the flip today i only have half the rotation right its so hard to land back on the foot lol have to be realli quick

Tai-bo (Tae Bo) is a cardio boxing/aerobic type of exercise based on Tae Kwon Do, whereas muay thai is kickboxing with knees and elbows.

Yea be careful with the flips yea? Don't land on your head.
