Non profit is many times a misleading term. In general, it means that you spend whatever money comes in and the money is often spent as salary for individuals or in other words, the company as a whole does not have a goal of seeking profit, however individuals within the company can. In this state, it requires an emormous amount of paperwork to qualify as non profit and requires that you form a corporation. Hiring a CPA to keep track of your paperwork and possibly a business attorney to set up would be a good idea.

I loved reading such a positive post. I always tell people that training in martial arts can be a life changing experience as long as you don't quit.

Hi thesasafras and welcome. To find info on ranking, click on "FAQ" at the top of the page.

My game plan when sparring with a tall guy is to be either on the outside or inside of his extended hand.....or in other words, be very far or very close.

Hi Soni and welcome!

Of course all races live here, however on a percentage basis, the latin americans are small in number.

Hi Mary My advice to teaching very young children is to stick to basics and teach them discipline and respect.

ps......There is also a JKD school here and MMA schools are popping out all over the place. This is the home of "Superbrawl" and "Rumble on the Rocks".

W elcome back, Andrew!

LOTS! Remember that Hawaii is a place of many different races including many Chinese, Japanese, Korean and now many Brazilians are making Hawaii their home. There are also polynesian martial arts here and Filipino stick fighting. Many schools on the mainland can trace their roots back to people who came from Hawaii including Ed Parker. Of course all Kajukenbo schools and Hawaiian Kempo came from here. Offered in Hawaii are many styles of karate, different styles of kung fu, tae kwon do, judo, aikido, jujitsu including the Gracie academy, muay thai, and there are several boxing gyms here.

Hawaii!!

Hi Justin and welcome!

I would agree that in 6 months of training, you have some useable knowledge.

It appears from the responses that I received that if I am practicing "combat" chi, I must breathe with force and if I am practicing "healing" chi, I must do it quietly.

Practice what you feel is right for you but don't criticize others who do things differently. There is no right or wrong ways just different ways.

Hi Taco 101 and welcome!

Hi kheb3350 and welcome!

I saw Dillman and his student knocking down people "using chi" without touching them on t.v. After the demo a skeptic contacted them and asked to demonstrate on him. One of Dillman's top students tried his chi on the skeptic and was unable to move him at all. Dillman commented later that the skeptic knew how to neutralize the chi.

Hi Ed and welcome!

I forgot my gi top.
