I am an avid Martial Artist. I used to go to a few schools, but haven't for years. I do keep up with it, though, and practice stances, strikes, and katas. I bought a punching bag last year and it has helped me to keep practicing A LOT. You'd be surprised at what good a workout a punching bag has to offer.
Did you study any particular style or was it mixed? I've just taken up IsshinRyu Karate a few months ago and I love it (especially Kata!) And yes, the punching bag here at the Res Hall I live at takes quite a bit of abuse from me. It is definitely a good work out (and a great stress reliever when I need it!)
So yeah, Karate is one of my hobbies. I've only been studying since April, but it has been my life! I practice every day.
Beside Karate, I'm also an avid writer. I've participated in 3 NaNoWriMos and have completed the word goal each year. I have 3 novels written, but only one actually completed.
I also love to read. Anything really, I'm not picky. I also love video games. Though I'm up for anything, first person shooters are really my favorite.
My friends and I make amateur movies and post them on YouTube. They are mostly comedies (our director has a real talent for scriptwriting) and we do this fairly often. (Shameless plug...if you want to check them out, the link is on my profile).
