Which Sports Do Basilers Do?
For the spirit of the 2016 Olympics in Brasil, share which sports (excluding e-sports) you do.
I do Kyudo (Japanese archery) and Taekwondo.
(I might use this as a starting platform for art inspirations after I finish school this month)

Used to play a lot of badminton, some cricket, now I just shoot hoops with mates.
hated the commitment you had to make to play sports in school so i never joined, but when i turned 18 I became a skydiver and when i turned 21 did my first base jumps. Thats what I do currently. Currently have 60 skydives and 16 base jumps in my logs. Which is actually very slow progress but its very expensive and im still lazy af to drive out there.
MapleStory
Badminton, soccer and swimming.
Y'all should join me in yoga class to witness the finest booty! I'm also a calisthenics enthusiast checkout my meipaiç¾Žæ‹ @ ragekicked !
I'm 5'6 and asian....but I played volleyball LOL
soccer swimming badminton
Tennis, cross country and swim.
I did cross country in school. Track and field for a little while, but I was pretty young at the time and we didn't participate in any serious competitions.
I do wushu.
I used to kickbox, but I still play raquetball every now and then.
Ballroom Dancing & Indoor Rock Climbing!
I did track in middle school (sprints), baseball during middle school and high school, and a little bit of football (the eggball variety) in high school
Wish I had joined something as a kid. By the time middle school came around, I didn't wanna join a sport because I knew all the other kids would be way better since they all played since they were like 3. In any sport. Seriously. People are way too into sports here.
But nonetheless I feel like it's an essential part of childhood/being in school I missed out on. Never had a team.
swim, track, weightlifting and boxing I also used to do cross country but I got tired of it after 2 years. Im pretty good at swim im the varsity captain actually, track not so much and weightlifting and boxing are just recreational. my friend got me into boxing he's like a karate master and also knows boxing, wrestling, mui tai and some other stuff, first time he taught me how to fight I just got my ass kicked around for an hour.
Basketball and Alpine Climbing.
I played Badminton, fiddle around with Soccer for a while and did Track & Field. I was really good at the high jump and long jump- got made fun of and called Air Jordan a lot though.
I can write checks faster than the hoe working the corner
I did Badminton and Cross Country Skiing in high school.
Nothing right now though.
@angelkinda: Kyudo is a traditional archery, though it's Japanese. Compared to western archery, though I haven't done that much before, we use a unique thumb-draw with yugake, and the anchor point is also several inches behind the ear. Also, the arms and shoulders are deliberately spread straight, more like the modern recurve style, rather than bent-arm style used in traditional English longbows. Furthermore, the release uniquely deliberates torquing the bow (bow spins).
Finally, form and tradition are strictly adhered to.
Been doing gymnastics since I was 4. Ballet, too, if that counts as a sport.
I'm not doing any sports at the moment (used to to archery for some time), but I'm starting up Kendo classes next month.
Just wondering, how does Kyudo differ from traditional archery?
