INSTRUCTOR ANNOUNCEMENT

[Adam]

Hey everyone ,

  As everyone probably notice , we are currently fixing up this website and since I dont really know a thing about computers , I am working with a internet web-design guy

  I thought it would be a great opportunity to promote my friends who are instructors in different arts and I feel the community will definitely benefit from seeing your stuff  sooooo:

   for 
- My Sifu  Mike Smith  and Jo's  applied combat , Yi quan / natural gate
- Steve 's  Fook Yeung Chuan
-  Jeff 's  RBSD , Tang soo Do 
- Lamar 's  JKD
-  Micheal Q 's   Thai Boxing  NCGF, WC
-  Micheal  B's   WCD Demile Defensive Tactics
- Ian's  - Hsing I , Ba kua , Tai Chi
- Tom D 's   NCGF ,  Ed's stuff
- Pierre Hamrtman's NCGF
- Martins JKD

If you like,  please send
- picture
- clips
- links to website, blog-sites
- articles 
- plus anything that you wanna promote about yourself

and I will  do my best to spread the word. I am thinking about maybe starting a separate section of the site for this . Maybe upgrade the Mini forums or   maybe  upgrade the " Links " section or maybe directly attach to testimonials since its the most read ;  not sure at all what's the best way  to do it yet , I am learning as I go - have to discuss it w the webmaster expert in that field .

If I forgot anyone , just send me an email 

Adam

Adam, will do. I can do the same for everyone else on my site. We should all work together.
Thanks
Mike

[Adam]

Thanks Micheal


To all the instructors , 

   After much thought , we have decided the best course of action is to keep the general forum public but starting next week,  the mini forums or instructors forums will be kept private " for members only"

  Once again , let me remind all members that the purpose for this forum is to promote all arts that is  pragmatic or practical , to help those who need it , therefore , don't be shy to promote your stuff (dvd, seminar site etc) this forum is not about me and PMA is not my system its merely a forum . I will be inviting more instructors from around the world soon. My goal is to have a place where it can promote practical MA with Wu Du , respect in place

thanks adam!
i feel honoured to be included in that list!
i may  come to you with some stuff in the future,
for now, im just trying to make the best out of the couple students ive got, not looking to promote anything just now,
kind regards, mart

ps, am not a instructor, i only run a small group under sifu carruthers, and am very inexperienced with the teaching, am learning , but am not by any means an instructor in bruces art.
wanted to mention tht so ppl dont think am another guy trying to pass themselves off as something they're not,
kind regards to all.

Hi Martin ,  

   I included you  because there's a little too much  BS on the net about  Tc and since I know  you study with him , I though maybe you can give people more accurate info .

  The new forum wont be up for a while , I'll keep everyone posted  . Actually, not sure if making it bigger and promoting more public traffic is the best way to go. Hope it works, we'll give it a try but if my forum turns into another MA trashing talk/ bragging site , I'll just end it.

To everyone ,

Probably be changing the name soon  , since some ppl are  confusing  "pragmatic martial arts"  with another todd K's "pragmatic fighting system" , that's not cool , never met him . So gotta think of a new name soon , sucks kinda liked  "pragmatic"  sigh... lol

[Martin JKD]

ok adam ,
sucks you gotta change the name.

[michaelquijano]

Martin, you are a good man and great representation of Tommy's. I always wish you both the best.

Adam, Todd K. should change his name, not you since you first came out with it. Everybody recognizes your stuff over his. Keep it. Don't change it. But if you do I will back you up all the way.
