How do you maintain your perfect physical specimen so they keep drooling over you? ;)

Dude it actually works against me.
If i play like i fight then i loose, so i ahve to completley forget about my training

Darn that military training, I bet it doesn't even cover rocket-jumping or the finer points of respawning.

I heard of a guy who was an ex-Army sniper who would always cream everyone else in paintball skirmishes.

Geminii: how is it modified? Are you taught fighting applications or is it only taught as a form of exercise? (I suspect it may be modified to be purely a form of exercise/fitness)

The three main styles of Tai Chi are:
Yang
Chen
Wu

Some basic fighting applications for Tai Chi (Chen style)

Those paintball's never fly straight. I'm a reasonably good shot, and I find those paintball guns infuriating... No 2 shots EVER hit the same spot! I guess it's due to the lack of conformance with those 'pellets'

paintballs are painful.. lol always wear thick clothing!

man so sore from gym yesterday, i can hardly move.

well we don't know what he did at the gym and/or how regularly he goes. I sometimes have lapses where I don't train for months and then when I get back to it I feel reeeaaaally sore afterwards.

I don't do anything to stay looking good, as for looking good, thats not possible. I'm an ugmo if you ask me ahah.

Only things that I have ever been complemented on, and can say on the board... Is my eyes, hair and arms.. Other then that. I guess the entire thing where I act like a kid, but have a way with words that an adult has and don't tend to care how people see me. I guess that helps a little aswell. The Transformers collection has helpped out of late, but that can only go sofar. I was willing to sell it, just to make the moving out, then moving in alot faster. But, The Girl ran off with her ex and I'm stuck here alone

It's mainly taught as fitness for oldies and housewives, the class I go to being made up mostly of these.

I prefer a style where the combat applications are covered, if only so I have some vague idea of what I'm supposed to be accomplishing with various movements. I'm the one who keeps pestering the teacher with "So is this movement supposed to be a block, a strike, what?"

The Tai Chi place I went to in Canberra was more forthcoming with this info - they'd even occasionally do a live combat demo of a movement to show exactly what its point was. "And here, this movement pulls the opponent off balance so, and flings them across the room, so. OK? Right, someone go help Billy out of the wall, please."
