Capoeira. biggrin.gif

Swimming is fun too, if you have a nice deep pool to fool around in

Chinwoo pool in KL is olympic sized, if i'm not wrong. Comes with 15 feet deep end. Diving discontinued though. Kelab Syabas in PJ State also has a pretty deep pool

Indoor pools....haven't heard of any with decent depth. Lots at public pools and condos, all around the 8ft mark max. Chinwoo is pretty accessible, either take lrt to pasar seni, or monorail, which station i forgot. Yeah, driving there does suck.

yoga is based on religion, so basicly to practice yoga would be considered idolatry by most religions.

it would be the same thing as asking a muslim to go to church and participate in the service.

It's based on religion? I was under the impression it was a cultural activity, like kungfu. You should be able to do it without concentrating on the religious element?

Sumo is also similar i think, at the highest level you're essentially a Shinto acolyte. However most people don't even bother with that part.

alot of people refrain from many forms of martial arts for religious purposes, its not uncommon.

whether or not you can do it without concentrating on the religious element is moot, you cant ask someone to say sing a worhsip song from another religion and tell them dont think about the religious part and it'll be fine.

anyway, to avoid turning this into a religious flamefest we will stop this here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga <-- if you want to know more about yoga and how its interelated with buddhism, hinduism, blablabla.

Well, do you consider meditation religious? Barring the fact it's a central component to quite a number of different religions and purposes. Or even things like energy and faith healing. blink.gif

And would it be wrong to appreciate religious music from the musical aspect? Quite a bit of classical music is religious by origin. Bach wrote most of his music for the church. I don't see anybody complaining about listening to Bach though. sweat.gif

IMO, it's all part of a multicultural experience. Unless any religion explicitly forbids all contact with elements of other religions of course.

Kayz, i'll leave this thread back on topic too, but just wondering how many yogis actually practice yoga completely with the religious aspects... (thinking of those at CF/FF/TF)

sintian: You'll probably love capoeira, since it's a mix of martial arts, dance and aerobic activity. Check out ourBantus Malaysia Video.
