Seriously a great arboic exercise for anyone who wants to try it out. More intensive then most sports i have done if you want it to be, but can be done at a slower pace for "bronze" league equivelent recreation. interesting to see another foilist, seems everyone in north america is sabre with some epee thrown in. But i like my complicated right of way rules and small target damnit  respect GGQ. | ||

That naginata fencing actually looks super cool. How does one get involved in that? Well, i was looking for a new martial art. And i wanted something without much focus on selfdefence (i think i covered that that with 10 years of Ju-Jutsu, an german form of japanese jujutsu, developed for the police). So i asked the allmighty computer, and found out about Kendo and naginata, wich are kinda close (there are even mixed fights shinai (sword) vs. naginata.) I went with naginata because i have an old injury on my left knee, and in kendo your left leg is allways in the back, and all attacks gain their power from there. In naginata you get your momentum from body turns and change sides constantly. +you have the longer stick :D | ||

Very few people do it; very few people know how to do it properly and even fewer do it well. Anyway, there are a lot of barriers to entry when it comes to rowing and it isn't for everyone. Besides that, the dress code might be unappealing to some. On February 03 2012 05:43 ragnorr wrote: Wakeboarding, caught on it 1½ year ago when i moved almost next to a cablepark. I wouldn't consider Wakeboarding to be unpopular. It's actually very popular in the States and Canada. That and it has massive appeal. Thus, it goes back to your flag. Denmark which I assume has a similar climate to that of Canada. Never been to Denmark, so I cannot really comment. I guess it just hasn't catched on like the rest of the world, or not everyone has the privilege to a boat. Come to think of it, a lot of sports people are listing off don't necessarily lack appeal. For instance, I'm assuming the guys with the Chinese flag are actually living in the States because badminton is really popular in China just like table tennis. Paintballing is pretty big in the States as well. Perhaps you guys should be provide more details on location and why you think your sport is unappealing. ._. Trampolining I can see because it's in gymnastics and many public schools cannot afford that kind of programming and as a result very few people get into gymnastics, etc. | ||

I think it would be a lot of fun to get into martial arts/naginata/whatever, but I think I'm too old to start now, and way too cheap to pay for it. | ||
