Beside the martial arts? Do you have other hobbies that you enjoy?

I have many...

I'm into herpetology - snakes. I have 2 right no, and have had more at other times.

I'm also into ham radio - K6BQ. Some people listen to music and talk radio while they're driving to work - I talk to Japan!

I'm also into music, I love playing whatever instruments i can get my hands on.

There are others, but those are them main things that I do currently....

I scuba dive quite a bit.

I also have four children, I suppose they're a kind of a hobby, whether I like it or not!

My favorite hobby is playing with my two girls (3 if you include my wife:) ). I love hunting and fishing and being outside in general. I also enjoy shooting, woodworking and riding my motorcycle.

I have my own recording studio and I really enjoy that, I also host a weekly radio show featuring contemporary a cappella music. I use to play tournament paintball but gave that up after the birth of my 2nd child.
I am a licensed amateur radio operator, and with this hobby I am also a certified storm spotter for the National Weather Service.
I use to collect sports cards when I was a teenager, I still have over 45,000 but haven't collected in a while. I guess I also collect and mess around with older computer, I have Commodore 64's, Atari 800XL, Commodore Vic20, Amiga 1000 and an Amiga 2000.

That about covers it I think.

Photography and videography.

You're also into videography, eh? Digital editing? If so, what kind of editing software do you use? I use Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5. A couple people were trying to persuade me to switch to Mac, but I don't feel like going through the hassle of switching operating systems, though I still hate Windows XP sometimes.

I enjoy writing poetry, running, playing video and role-playing games (yeah, like D&D, that kind of stuff). I read comics now and then, though nothing like I used to back in high school.

Other than my MA training, I enjoy reading, camping/backpacking, skiing (downhill & X-country), running, astronomy, cooking (especially Japanese or Thai food), and piano.

Favorite reading topics are: US history, Asian history, anything in the metaphysical realm, quantum physics, and most any wilderness/outdoors topic.

If it's outdoorsy type stuff chances are I'm into it; Ice climbing, rock climbing, camping, canyoneering, ATV-ing (with those that have such toys), hiking, back-packing, and of course Caving.

Indoor type stuff includes a myriad of different stuff, it'll depend upon my mood and stress levels.

Well, I'm glad you seemingly rank saving the galaxy from destruction somewhat ahead of pinochle! :)

Well they all have something in common in that they are not true. A few, like gardening, are impossible...if you seen my yard

I use premiere 6.0, i wouldn't mind getting pro 1.5 if i can find it somewhere. I don't see any benifit in uing a mac myself, although you could put XP on a mac if that would help? I personally prefer to have a well customised PC specific for video editing needs.

Other than martial arts training, I love reading (mostly philosophy, religious studies, history, literature, transpersonal, consciousness studies...). I've been writing poetry for about 20 years now. I love languages and am constantly working on trying to improve my Arabic and Spanish along with a beginning interest in Afrikaans and Classical Persian. I also research to improve as a Massage Therapist and Tui Na practitioner.....

Sounds interesting. Want to share some of your poetry? I'd be interested.
