Thanks so much for the replies thus far. Please keep them coming and feel free to add more brands. I appreciate it. Patrick

Hello, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. As you may know, running websites like KarateForums.com is what I do full time (plus ) and, as such, part of the existence of the site relies on generating revenue, mostly through advertising. There are various standards that ads on our site must adhere to, set in place by me in order to maintain the balance between the need for ads and the need for a good environment here. Though it is usually not possible, we prefer to have ads tied to the martial arts in some way, and when I have time, I try to approach martial arts related companies about advertising here. It is because of this, that I am posting this announcement. I wanted to ask you who your favorite martial arts related brands are. This could be any number of things, such as: - Company or individual that manufactures equipment - Company that sells said equipment to you - Educational publisher that helps with curriculum at your school - Billing company that makes it easier for you to run the business end of your school, if you run one - Martial arts book, DVD or other media publisher And so on. Basically, any company or organization that is tied to the selling or creation of martial arts products, the management of a martial arts school or anything like that. Companies who sell things that you like to martial artist and instructors. What I hope to do is to reach out to the brands that you love and respect and ask them if they'd be interested in supporting our community by advertising on it. So, please let me know. I appreciate you taking the time. Sincerely, Patrick

Welcome aboard, Kensei723. Thank you for the kind words. Patrick

Maybe one day. That's one of my dreams... to get rich, retire and own every video game in the world.

Welcome aboard, Cameron. Glad to have you. Patrick

Thanks for the reply, Nopar. No problem. What arts are available to you where you live? Thanks, Patrick

Cool. I have only played the first two NES games, but my brother has played and beat like all of them, including the MSX games.

Today, August 3, is Danielle's birthday. Happy Birthday Danielle! Hope that you have/have had a great day. Thanks for everything that you do here. Patrick

Hello and welcome, Nopar. First things first: I think it would be best if you told us what you have available to you and what you yourself are looking to get out of an art. i.e., why do you want to do it? That will help people make appropriate suggestions. Thanks, Patrick

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Patrick

Welcome Snake. Would never think badly of that name, with Metal Gear and all. Patrick

Congrats GeoGiant. Patrick

Hey Phil. Welcome. Thanks for the kind words. Patrick

I'm cool with the two movies. I like details, so I don't want them to cut stuff out as much as they have had to do with the other movies. Nice avatar, conrad665. Patrick

No worries on the long post, Kassen. I didn't find it long at all. Welcome and thanks for contributing. Patrick

Cool. Let me know if you get it to go. Patrick
