Hard               working               starship               crews               and               bizarre               aliens               need               recreation               between               space               battles               or               discovering               new               life               forms               and               new               civilizations.

During               their               leisure               time,               the               inhabitants               of               the               Star               Trek               universe               engage               in               pretty               nifty               athletic               hobbies.

From               Earth's               pastime               of               baseball               to               the               futuristic               martial               arts               of               Anbo               Jitsu,               Captain               Sisko,               Mr.

Here               are               sports               you'll               recognize,               but               also               ones               that               will               thrill               with               an               alien               angle.

Baseball
               Earth's               sport               is               alive               and               well               in               the               future.

In               Star               Trek:               Deep               Space               Nine,               Captain               Sisko               and               his               crew               love               talking               baseball               when               not               playing               the               game               in               the               holographic               play               rooms               called               holosuites.

In               these               rooms,               not               only               can               any               baseball               field               imaginable               be               recreated,               but               also               players               from               the               past               like               Babe               Ruth               or               Hank               Aaron               can               be               called               up               as               teammate               or               opponent.

Buck               Bokai               was               a               fictional               baseball               player               in               DS9.
               Influenced               by               a               real               life               lover               of               baseball,               co-creator               of               Deep               Space               Nine,               producer               Michael               Piller,               Star               Trek's               darkly               imagined               spin-off               had               many               episodes               where               baseball               was               featured.

Captain               Sisko               (Avery               Brooks)               loved               the               game               so               much,               he               had               an               antique               baseball               on               his               desk               throughout               the               run               of               the               series.
               Anbo               Jitsu
               Fans               of               this               rough               and               tumble               futuristic               fighting               style,               dress               in               thick               padding               to               avoid               serious               injury.

It's               called               "the               ultimate               evolution               of               the               martial               arts."
               Introduced               in               Star               Trek:               The               Next               Generation               episode,               "The               Icarus               Factor",               the               combatants               in               this               fast               paced               sport               are               Commander               Riker               and               his               father               Kyle               Riker.

These               two               have               serious               family               issues               between               them,               so               when               they               take               up               the               electronic               battle               sticks               to               face               one               another,               it's               a               real               fight               to               the               finish               -               or               at               least               for               the               one               who               knows               the               sneakiest               tactics               to               win.

Despite               dated               American               Gladiator               style               gear               from               the               1980's,               the               smooth               fight               choreography               is               not               only               fun               to               watch,               but               manages               to               integrate               plot               and               conflict               into               the               match               exceedingly               well.
               Dom-jot
               Rack               'em               up!

Dom-jot               is               best               described               as               a               cross               between               pool               and               pinball.
               It's               played               with               a               ball               and               cue               stick               on               an               oddly               shaped               table.

Fans               of               it               say               it               takes               much               time               to               master.

In               the               Star               Trek:               Next               Generation               episode               "Tapestry",               Jean-Luc               Picard               fights               a               group               of               nasty               aliens               called               Nausicans               over               a               game               of               dom-jot.

Jake               Sisko,               Captain               Sisko's               son               of               Deep               Space               Nine               also               enjoyed               the               game               and               was               quite               skilled               at               playing               it.
               Parises               Square
               This               sci-fi               game               is               still               mysterious               in               form               and               function.
               Though               never               actually               seen               in               any               episode               of               Star               Trek,               one               thing               seems               clear,               it's               pretty               rough.

In               the               Star               Trek:               Next               Generation               episode               Future               Imperfect,               Riker               is               held               captive               in               a               holographic               fantasy               by               a               young               alien.

He's               now               Captain               Riker               commanding               a               future               version               of               the               Enterprise.

When               his               fantasy               son               is               injured               off               screen               playing               parises               square,               he               tells               Dr.

Crusher               that               he               was               14               when               he               started               playing               the               game.

Another               time               Wesley               Crusher               is               upset               that               someone               beat               him               at               parises               square.

If               the               game               is               ever               revealed               in               future               Star               Trek               adventures,               it's               certain               to               be               interesting.
               Klingon               Bat'leth               Fighting
               Klingons               are               a               loud               mouthed,               brash               alien               race               who               prize               honor               and               combat.

They're               a               cross               between               the               samurai               of               Japan               and               Native               Americans.

War               mongering               Klingons               love               to               fight               and               use               edged               weapons               like               knives,               swords               or               Bat'leths.

It's               their               favorite               way               to               battle               in               close               quarters.
               Dan               Curry,               visual               effects               supervisor               on               Star               Trek:               The               Next               Generation               designed               the               Bat'leth.

Curry               is               a               real               life               martial               artist               himself               and               not               only               crafted               the               weapon               from               scratch,               but               invented               moves               or               katas               associated               with               the               weapon.

It               became               so               popular               in               the               real               world               that               it               was               used               in               a               few               Korean               martial               arts               contests               and               some               government               agencies               contacted               Curry               to               possibly               use               the               design               in               real               life.

Fans               have               even               used               the               weapon               for               a               good               cause.

Here's               a               link               to               a               tournament               for               charity.

               Loyal               fans               know               Vulcans               uses               logic               to               govern               their               lives.

However,               when               it               comes               to               personal               combat,               they               can               be               just               as               savagely               brutal               as               Klingons.
               In               the               original               series               episode               Amok               Time,               Spock               travels               to               Vulcan               to               mate               with               an               arranged               partner               -               the               beautifully               deceptive               T'Pring.

As               his               pon               farr               or               blood               fever               increases               and               he               becomes               more               detached               from               logic,               he               must               face               his               own               comrade               Captain               Kirk               in               a               fight               to               the               death               with               Vulcan               martial               arts               weapons.
               The               fight               starts               off               with               the               Lirpa               -               a               thick               staff               -               on               one               end               is               a               wickedly               sharp               ax               like               blade,               the               other               end               is               a               rounded               tip               perfect               for               bashing               an               opponent's               head               into               pulp.
