Hey all,

As part of our 25th birthday celebration, I would like to announce the launch of our new Training Logs forum.

I went back to try to find when members started to use our forum this way, and I found a training log that @Symphony-x started almost 20 years ago, on November 29, 2006. In January of 2007, @bushido_man96 (Brian) started a thread that was open to all, and many people have used that thread over the years. Although it has 5,674 posts in all, only 1,893 of those belong to Brian. In fact, 7 other members have posted more than 100 times, and the thread has been viewed over 500,000 times.

That encouraging environment that Brian created inspired several other threads over the years, including a martial arts technique log from @gzk, and individual training log threads from @Karate4Life (here), @Wayofaswede (here), @DarthPenguin (here), and @camotheman (here).

In honor of this interest, we would like to try to give these training logs their own space, which will hopefully encourage continued logging by those who already do it - and new threads from additional members thanks to this fresh burst of encouragement. Ultimately, it could also be good to separate them from more traditional discussion threads, as well.

A big thanks to Symphony-x for starting the first one (that I could find) and Brian for building the momentum that helped members to share their regular training habits here with the community, which is really what leads us to starting this new forum.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thank you for reading.

Patrick

Excellent idea! Hopefully will also remind me not to be lax in updating mine!

Thanks @DarthPenguin! Glad that you like it.
