Hobbies and Interests

[Jassassino]

Would love to hear some of your guys hobbies and likes aside from video games/discussing video games on Metal Gear fan sites, so feel free to talk about what you're doing, what you like to do, or what you'd even like to try. 

Essentially, I thought this would be a nice thread considering a lot of these interests we share come up organically anyway, and having a place to talk about them and ask questions is ideal. 

Personally, as a lot of you would know, I've been practicing Karate since I was 8 (no longer go to a club for this, but home practice and learning is still in my weekly routine), kung fu and fencing. I'm due to start Chinese Sword Dance too in late April. 

Aside from Martial Arts, I love photography, find it super relaxing and enjoy sharing my photos with like minded people. 

To keep my brain healthy? I learn Japanese, an hour at least every day, some days I feel like I'm making no progress, other days I feel like I'm a natural! (As is the way)

I've dabbled in writing a lot, and I've gone through periods of writing daily for up to about a month, I'd like to up this and dedicate myself to writing poetry, but it's a much more intense, involved hobby in regards to how much thought goes into it, but hopefully one day I'll be able to do it much more casually and relaxed. Right now I'm not writing at all, but I'm jotting down any ideas I have and fleshing them out as much as possible in my notes app before I transfer them to a word document.
