FeUerFlieGe United States1193 Posts February 02 2012 21:08 GMT #27 Table tennis! Although I don't think it's nerdy.

ElMeanYo United States1032 Posts February 02 2012 21:11 GMT #29 OP: cool sport there, reminds me of Kendo (something I briefly experimented with in my youth). But I play basketball... my hand-eye coordination is pretty good from all my gaming and shooting/dribbling requires that. Of course it also requires good cardio conditioning which is why I suck on defense

r00ty Germany1056 Posts February 02 2012 21:22 GMT #30 I've been playing Basketball for nearly 20 years now. Not really nerdy i guess but the only sport i've got to get quite good in. I need contact and only team-sports are fun to me.

el_dawg United States164 Posts February 02 2012 21:51 GMT #32 Disc Golf makes a pretty awesome nerd sport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_golf It's pretty relaxing, has elements of strategy and technique to master, can be competitive or casual and gives a good opportunity for us basement nerds to get outdoors. Because the disc actually flies, technique is more important than raw strength and once you get a smooth consistent motion, it's not hard to throw the disc accurately 100-200feet or more. I'm not sure how popular it is in other areas of the world, but here, there are a number of free courses that are well used. Starting costs are pretty cheap as well, $20 gets you a good set of starter discs from amazon.com.

Fallians Canada242 Posts February 02 2012 21:57 GMT #33 Muay Thai isn't really a nerd sport imo :D Sports I do- Muay Thai, Wrestling, Football and BJJ I forgot about paintball in the summer Nerd Sports I do- none :D

AimlessAmoeba Canada704 Posts February 02 2012 22:04 GMT #34 No one for paintball? Almost everyone I play with is a gamer in some aspect, or at least a nerd baller... I also race MX. I dunno if you'd classify that as a nerd sport but most of the guys who are good at it are incredibly intelligent.

SF-Fork Russian Federation1401 Posts February 02 2012 22:56 GMT #36 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Depending on the circles you frequent it is considered a nerd sport. People laugh at all the hugging and man-contact.

EienShinwa United States655 Posts February 02 2012 23:18 GMT #37 Awesome to hear you started naginata! I'm a practitioner of kendo and like naginata, it is extremely taxing physically and mentally. Although I feel that you are much more lucky, as my dojo is mostly little children and burly men! XD

phyre112 United States3090 Posts February 02 2012 23:38 GMT #38 Played basketball from the time I was four until I went to college, and even played my freshman year at school (intermurals and such, I go to a big basketball school =x.) Now I've picked up weightlifting and rugby. I wouldn't call any of the three "nerd" sports, but then I wouldn't call myself a nerd or say I have nerd hobbies either, besides watching BW/SC2 when I wake up early/go to bed late. I don't even play either of them anymore.

scarper65 1560 Posts February 02 2012 23:41 GMT #39 Badminton, ping pong, and fencing

hellbound United Kingdom2242 Posts February 02 2012 23:45 GMT #40 Dafuq? Why so much badminton? I dabble in the black art too, but I never considered it nerdy... This is weird.
