Its 3:00 am +++ and i have had an inspiration
What could the whole of us guys here do on the forum to further the good of martial arts , we spend ages and ages every day on the forum we are sick with martial arts, and yet we have never undertook a project we can all help with. Wether we are video game warriors or we hate ashida kim , wether we practise bjj or chen tai ji. THere must be something we can do, even if its wirte an e-book with what we believe to be the essence of martial arts and our training.
THis came to me when i said on one of my posts that kung fu is dying and it is a sad fact that traditional kung fu will dissapear in china before it does in the west.
what do bin laden and general custer have in common???

Yea, lets do something. If someone comes up with a good idea i give total support.
The tournament is a good idea that could be worked on.
I was thinking of writing an article on Yin/Yang Footwork on martial arts, but then i didnt know if had the skills to write such thing since im kind of a newbie. But now i guess i’ll try to do it anyway.

Traditional kung fu is alive and well in China, though it’s not always visible to the media eye.
The lineages of closed-door training persist. In fact, nonChinese are becoming disciples at a rate unequalled in history.
Similarly, each one of you guys who posted here is keeping kung fu alive and well. Even Ralek has his part in doing this - by stirring us to practice harder to refute his claims.
An e-book would be great, but you guys are already doing your part to keep the traditions going.
Well, you can start by posting on my Ultimate Body Mechanics thread. It’d be kinda nice to have a thread full of power development exercises.
Most actions of men can be explained by observing a pack of dogs. Not wild dogs, just neighborhood dogs who all scurry under the fence on the same night and set off together to reclaim a glimmer of the glory their species possessed before domestication.
guys, I have been asking for link submissions as a resource for all martial arts from you for about a month now.
you can also submit links to pretty much any martial art here at kungfu/qigong magazine as well as other sites.
Martial arts is growing in the minds of many again. It is not dying, it is continuing to evolve and spread.
Never before in history has Chinese martial arts been so wide spread across the world.
There are many who are forwarding the propogation of them, many resources are available. Unfortunately, some questionable material gets mixed in, but a lot of it is good.
If we do a collaborative effort and make a good web site with lots of articles and such, we would want a decent host and such. Freeservers or whatever wouldn’t cut it for what I have in mind.
If everyone wrote the same kind of stuff they write on the board in a “formal” article, it would be quality web site material. I would have someone(s) evaluate it to ensure nothing incorrect is posted.
If everyone submitted a few articles or techniques, we could have a hundred or so right off.
Anything of substance relating to MA or MA fitness is okay. Anything from a couple good drills to planning an exercise regiment would be great. Wouldn’t you want a lot of this kind of information all in one place? It could eliminate the need for many simple questions on the board.
I can make it tommorow, I have a library aid class where I do whatever I want.
It could be linked to Kungfuonline.com (or that new jkdhardcore-something.com) this place is a heaven for martial artists. greatest forum in the world, all other MA forums on the internet really SUCK when compared to this. This site should therefor have alot of artickles about training, “real fights” that some might have and an analasys of these by great martial artists. like, “what u should do in a situation like that” with tecniques, not only written but explained in images. articles on power building ( ), ground fighting and chi!! How martial arts affect us in our life, at work, in marriage and in a crowded bar or whatever
Articles on old masters, founders like uhh O-sensei (not sure about this but you know, he who made Aikido. the one with the beard.)
*martial art quotes. funny, true or whatever.
Philosofy from great texts like art of War, the I-ching and Book of 5 rings and Lao Tze.
I think that http://www.emptyflower.com/xingyiquan/index.html is what I would like to see kungfuonline become. Only about ALL MA, not only a few styles. Great lay-out, amazing old cool pics mixed with new ones. Alot of detailed articles that really makes u think. and whatever, check it out!
I think that Kung lek’s site with links is good. That is a small step to what I dream of seeing on a martial arts web-page that could be called, complete.
I wish you all good luck!!
~K~
“maybe not in combat… but think of the chicks man, the chicks!”
I think a dedicated site with a library of styles and their forms (or drills, etc) in the form of drawings/descriptions and video demonstrations would be an awesome way to make a central reference to martial arts techniques. It can be in directory format with a search function.
I haven’t seen one yet, but think of how many millions of martial artists would be looking at it, there would be lots of revenue potential here.
This would of course **** off alot of book publishers.
I’m working for a web company, anyone want to help out?
by your own admission you know very little about martial arts with your single week of jkd.
How do you intend to evaluate the arts of people here?
What is wrong with teh archived articles here and having only “one” site is not a good idea at all.
boy its great to see so many people coming together for a project like this , i think it would be great to have a library of things here on the forum like freestyler said , or link to it from the forum, because it can be things we have done to promote martial arts , wether its video clips of us demonstrating how to do a technique correctly to our articles, because lets face it , the internet is the future.
Or we could start out designing a website and find some hostign and it could evolve from there, you know good stuff on it, like how to really train iron palm, recipies for jow, bagua footwork, pressure point striking, the ultimate fighting thread and raleks video game techniques.
I believe once it starts rolling we can organise things from there.

There is already a site with many of the feature you guys said, but you have to pay for membership to get the forms and other stuff. The articles are free.
