That is unfortunate about your sister, Liam! Was it a fun experience for her, overall? Patrick

I am going to move this back to the Karate forum, where it was posted initially, from the Introductions forum, where it had been moved. I just wanted to explain the replies above. Thanks. Welcome Kohi! Patrick

You'll be the first moderator I've ever had come back from Tommy John surgery! It's like I'm managing a baseball team. Sorry you have to deal with this Danielle. I know from baseball surgeries, they say they come back stronger after having the surgery and going through the proper rehab, so I'm sure that'll be the case with you, as well. Patrick

Hey all, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. We have moved KarateForums.com to https://. This means that the information that you submit to KarateForums.com is now more secure. More details for the curious. Generally speaking, websites like ours hadn't done this previously, because we weren't dealing with what is traditionally considered sensitive information. We're not handling your bank accounts, credit card numbers, physical addresses, etc. But more recently, there has been an effort to push all websites to do this, driven by browser makers and search engines. It's a good idea. The big thing you may have noticed were nagging messages on our login pages, especially tied to the password field, saying this website was not secure (like this message in Firefox and this message in Chrome). These messages should now be gone. We appear to have implemented https successfully, but if you should encounter any problems, please let me know. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks, Patrick

Hey all, As a reminder, we allow discussion of weapons as they relate to the martial arts. Generic political discussions, including those tied to gun control, are not something that we host. Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Patrick
