For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

In my late teenage years, I got really into hitting my friends with sticks - competitively.
Am now in my forties and still use the same damn username.
Kendo or western sword stuff? I used to train kenjutsu/iaido for a while.
Unfortunately not much hitting, but lots of prancing about with swords!
Western! I’m currently studying Germanic two-handed longsword, Ringeck specifically. The level of improvement in our modern understanding of European sword styles has grown so much over the last 20 years it’s insane.
I used to cross train with a buddy who studied kenjutsu! We’d attend our respective classes and then spar with each other. It was really cool to get that different perspective on sword fighting from each other.
(One time, he managed the coolest disarm on me where he managed to hook my guard with the tip of his sword and pulled the blade from my hands. Caught me 100% off guard.)
