Hello

[Sakimaru]

Hello. I-as you can hopefully see-am new to this forum. I just wanted to say hi and hope to find some good information on questions I might have.

Yours truly, Sakimaru

 

[Sakimaru]

Whoops. Should have put this in the General Discussion. Sorry ok bye

 

[Bob Hubbard]

No problem. Easily fixed.

Welcome.

Sakimaru -

What system are you studying? I wish I started when I was 14...

 

[Sakimaru]

By system do you mean martial art? I am in Tang Soo Do. I would love to learn kenjutsu, iaido, capoeira, contemporary wushu, and chinese boxing (which I have a friend who can teach me).

Tang Soo Do is the only class around here I can go to. But, at least I'm improving in it

Please check out the Tang Soo Do forum!

He just asked me what system. We aren't actually talking about Tang Soo Do I was just saying that I'm in a TSD class.

You're absolutely right--the discussion you're having is quite appropriate here, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I just wanted to make sure you had noticed that there is a TSD forum!

 

[Rob_Broad]

Be wary the ever vigialnt moderators are everywhere. Just kidding, they do a great job, and can help any newbie with anything they need.

 

[arnisador]

Thanks for the compliment Mr. Broad! Yes, I'm in fact trying to drive more traffic to our Korean forum which doesn't seem to get as many posts as I'd expect for the popularity of these arts.

 

[Rob_Broad]

I like that Mr. title can I always be referred to with it.

 

[Sakimaru]

Not many Korean Art posters? Hm, I thought it would be filled with Tae Kwon Doist's.

Thank you for your help gyz.

 

[Shinzu]

[Bob Hubbard]

Thanks for the complements guys...and welcome.

AMEN TO THAT! And if anyone comes here with that attitude,
threads get locked, and memberships are suspended if it
continues. GREAT control exercised here, but not overbearing.
And my personal favorite ... NO ANONYMOUS POSTING! woohoo!

Actually, there is lots of anonymous posting (after all, you don't know my real name, do you? ), but the point is taken and appreciated.

I think I speak for the other moderators here when I say that we try to ensure this board lives up to its claim of 'Friendly discussion about the martial arts'.

Martial artists, just like people who undertake other endeavors, have many differences of opinion. However, this board provides a forum for martial artists to share, discuss, contrast, and even argue those opinions and ideas, in a friendly manner.

Bah, I'll shut up now. I've still got cold medicine in me and can't think straight.

PS - if you want to thank someone for this board, thank Bob Hubbard, founder and admin of MartialTalk. :cheers:

My bad. Thank you Mr. Hubbard for creating this site and a place for martial artists to meet and discuss their art.
