rabid hamster Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 No it doesn't get in the way at all. Actually martial arts has helped me with much better endurance in tennis. Last summer after an hour of playing I was soo tired, but now I can play tennis for 2 hours and it's not tiring at all. Also since it improves flexbility and strength too, it would help your sport if you played a sport that needed flexbility and or strength.

Bon Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 3 different sports ? How do you suppose to do MA with 3 different sports, one day for training and one day for playing. That one day where you do nothing ? It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

Ahazmaksya Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Yes, it definently gets in the way. You would have to give up one of those sports to do a MA. Especially if you are a student and have school work to do aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaifoot Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I guess doing sport might help you in martial arts, running regularly increases stamina etc. In the same way your martial art may help you become better at your sport. I think it depends on how much you can handle doing, if you can't handle them all you'll know because you're performance in at least one of them will suffer. I know I couldn't handle an MA and three sports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I'm the fanatic, BJJ hehehehehehe Anyway, there was a girl in my last school who did two sports and MA. She took class 2 days a week, and I guess that fit into her schedule (on top of high school). We also had a junior instructor who did soccer and taught (on top of high school), and she was bad at juggling her schedule. So, I guess it depends on the person. It depends on how much you can handle. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKD_McGee Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I am totally against three different sports at once... thats just insane... it puts too much on your schooling, social life, and family. If your thinking about taking something that is very time consuming and thought provoking up like Martial Arts you should think about dropping some of them. Do unto others, as they done to you.
