Hey all,

So I'm being assigned to do a project for a class where I post in a blog/vlog at least once a week about something I'm passionate about. I'm really into sports and fitness, but I've recently also liked martial arts like kickboxing and muy thai, and I also have around 2 years of (amateur) submission grappling experience. So I thought, you know why not??

So yeah, that's pretty much it! I don't know how often I'll post here, but when I do, I'll be posting about my progress as far as my fitness goes, and hopefully about my beginnings in Jiu-Jitsu, depending on whether or not I can find a good training gym or not.

Anyways, just wanted to say hi before I randomly start posting my stuff in a little while

Peace! =D

WOW....I honestly did not expect this kind of response. I've never been the forum kind of person, so it's nice to see this kind of community! Thanks everyone for being so cool with me being here! =)

Welcome to MT. Look forward your input. Care to enlighten us about what kind of class requires you to post here or other places?

The class is called "Technical Writing," but the teacher's really chill (she's only like 3-4 years older than me) and wanted to incorporate multimedia into the class. So we had a choice of either using Tumblr, Blogspot, or other blog-type media. I figured not many people would care what I'd have to say on Tumblr or Blogspot, I chose to write here.

Speaking of which! What's the best way to attach a video file? I have this clip of me training kickboxing a few years back I wanna upload.

Thanks!

I think video would need to be embedded using YouTube.

Photos can be uploaded directly with the upload file button or linked through an image sharing site.

I don't thing I've never used videos on MT so I can't help you. But I am sure someone who has will chime in to give you advice.

You may not want to hear this, but my suggestion is this: If you took the class you must have thought it would have some value for you. I don't do Tumblr of BlogSpot and know nothing about them, but why not go to those areas like Tumblr or BlogSpot and make your entries so good people can't wait to see what you do next. Excel at the difficult rather that just sitting back and gliding through the easy stuff.

Don't leave us to do so if at all possible. We are always glad to see new people and learn from them as well as sharing what we have learned.

I definitely won't leave as long as I'm welcomed here. I've gotten some good advice from a lot of people that I plan to use.

Haha I got it down! I posted 2 videos asking for critique on my form on another topic

I'm glad you figured out something on this board.

As to being welcomed here, you already have been. I'm sure you have noticed that like many other boards, it is moderated, but latitude is often given. For the most part, martial artists are Type A personalities, so there may often be disagreements, and on occasions disagreements can bring out the worst in us. But all that said, most of us are pretty nice as long as we also are treated nicely.
