24 Years of KarateForums.com!

Bravo for keeping the forum going! It's been so long, I forget when I first came here. I appreciate the platform freshening up, but what i really like is there's a variety of subgroups, that allow for both specialty and cross-fertilization. That is, it's more diverse, compared to say, a Shotokan FB group. I also find the participants here to be more mature and respectful. The community has helped, especially when I was going through a long dry spell of not having a good place to train this was a place to stay engaged.

Congratulations!

I have also always enjoyed the time i have spent on here. One thing i think that is done particularly well (especially for a martial arts site) is you have managed to avoid any hint of 'my style is superior to your style' slipping in which can often happen on sites where the martial arts is discussed. Everyone is generally respectful of each others style/s and seems to be willing to enter into open discussions with the purpose of learning from others which is appreciated and often far too rare nowadays

Congratulations!  This forum has meant so much to me over the past 19 years, I don't know what my Martial Arts career would look like had I not found it.  The people here have made me think much deeper about my Martial Arts studies, reconsider my approaches to some things, and overall helped me become a better student and teacher.  I really hope this community keeps churning along for many years to come.  It's still the best Martial Arts site on the planet.

Kudos @Patrick on this amazing milestone!
