Just wondering, other than being crocheters or other crafters, are any of us athletes???
I think it would be nice to share a sport you play or watch! Feel free to share your goals as an athlete, even if they don’t sound realistic to you! Remember, you are amazing, and by the grace of God, anything is possible and you can most certainly accomplish anything!! If you have a favorite athlete(s) name them!! Tag others tooooooooo
For example, I am a competitive figure skater, and I dream to land at least 1 quad jump and compete internationally My top fav figure skater is Yuzuru Hanyu , and others I love are Kamila Valieva , Alexandra Trusova , Anna Shcherbakova , Ami Nakai , Kaori Sakamoto , Adeliia Petrosian , Shoma Uno , and Yuma Kagiyama
It really would. You should do it. You would be amazed at how much it would help. There are a lot of crossover movements and it would be great cross training plus depending on the type you take it would be great self defense training. We are a full contact karate so definitely self defense focused.
We share a space with a dance studio. Most of our students cross strain with half being dancers as well. Not only are a lot dancers, but many adult and youth students also play soccer, football, baseball, softball, track, crosscountry, and wrestle. There are some swing dancers in there too which is awesome. I love swing dancing.
Karate is fantastic for crosstraining. I sit in on my kids’ and some students’ dance classes and when they get confused about something, only with the teacher’s permission, I use karate speak and they get the dance move and keep on dancing. Their dance teacher is one of my besties and thinks it is fantastic how well it works. In karate when the dancers get confused I speak ballet for a moment and they pick up the karate move just like that. Lol
I run track and athletics, and I’m on my school’s netball team! I love sports, but have really slacked off due to the winter season, so I really have to get back to training soon
