what do you read online for martial arts?

[Nidan Melbourne]

What does everyone read online for Martial Arts? be it blogs, forums (KF is a definite must), articles, videos or whatever else online

And how did you come across those sites?

[Safroot]

For me, I am just starting but what I am currently doing is:

1- KF for sure (found it while I was googling GKR)

2- fight quest series on Youtube (found it through HAWKMOON)

3- self defense articles (got the idea from one of the threads on KF)

4- Various articles and videos about Kyokushin karate and Mas Oyama to understand my style more (most of them through Hawkmoon)

5- kick strengthening exercises videos on Youtube (recommended by some members to improve my left leg kicks)

Thanks Hawkmoon as most of what I am reading and watching were recommended by you

I use so many online resources that it isn't really feasible for me to list them all, and how I found them . Forums, blogs, and Facebook groups are at the top of that list, certainly. Since we're all on KF, already, I'll list some of my favorite online resources that I use, in no particular order:

Oh wow... do you have time to do anything in life other than training and reading ?!!!

[ps1]

I'm a huge fan of blogs and forums too. As an owner, I do alot of reading about running martial arts business an such as well. If you want any suggestions, feel free to send me a PM.

[bushido_man96]

I don't take a lot of time to check into many blogs. I do have some youtube channel subscriptions, like Kwonkicker, that I look at from time to time, and I did just subscribe to GingerNinja's channel, as well.

I wish I had more time to put towards online research like that.

[sensei8]

I don't visit many blogs and the like, and that's mainly because my schedule is quite limited. In that, there's maybe 1 or 2 sites that I will regularly visit. I just "surf" and if it peaks my interest, I'll look at it, but I don't always finish the article. The first paragraph must interest me; that paragraph tells the tone a lot.

[AdamKralic]

I come here and read threads like this one!

I also do a lot of youtube surfing...mostly to watch fights but just in trying to find them you will find many useful instructional videos.

There are soooo many resources out there...it is very hard to name a few.

For example: Hey every now and then we need to take a step back and have some fun..."Ameri-Do-Te" is your one stop shop.

Or maybe you are really into traditional weapons forms? "hempev" is a Youtube user that has a whole slew of the best traditional weapons forms training videos that I've seen on youtube.

Maybe you are into tournament sparring type stuff? Well then there are fighters that put out great videos such as Jadi Tention and Ross Levine.

[Patrick]

Please feel free to share your resources in the thread, Bill. Thanks.

For example: Hey every now and then we need to take a step back and have some fun..."Ameri-Do-Te" is your one stop shop.

I love those videos, they crease me up every time. Too funny.
