Ballet or Gymnastics as an adult male?

[turtlejoy]

@twins4heaven Most dancers have jacked feet. I didn't do near 6 hours aday and still have jacked feet. But I was too lazy to tape up my feet. Now they have spacers and toe caps and tons of other support for dancers feet. If they start to bother you definitely head to the dance supply store and ask about them. (And I didn't go en pointe.)

@turtlejoy Thanks for the tips. I'll defiantly be taking caution when I feel something going wrong. Seen too many people get sport injuries.

@twins4heaven You do you, but ide rather take a martial art. Barring that gymnastics.

@twins4heaven Ballet will be the most helpful to your ultimate frisbee game. Sucks that the logistics are against it.

 

[twins4heaven]

@fradoff I'm not too worried about improving my Frisbee. I just play that because running around feels real good.

But out of curiosity, how would you say it will improve my frisbee? I thought they were pretty different

@twins4heaven Explosive movement with precision is really useful in ultimate and is one of the skills ballet trains.

 

[twins4heaven]

@fradoff Aaaah yes. I like the way you put it . "Explosive movement with precision" sounds like a perk I'll get from the ballet/parkour skill tree

@twins4heaven Quit your job and do both

 

[twins4heaven]

@shebu12 Ha. I wish. I'll do another 5 things if I could do that.

@twins4heaven Jujitsu

 

[twins4heaven]

@najdib Will check it if there's any classes nearby

@twins4heaven I really wish I didnt live in the sticks. About 50 min to the nearest gym in a few directions. Still thinking about it.

 

[twins4heaven]

@najdib That sucks man. I live in a small town too but managed to find a BJJ club. It's on Saturday so I can do it alongside other stuff .

Hope you find a place near you soon. Maybe try muay Thai? That's a bit different tho. Judo?
