KarateTalk is a friendly global forum for martial arts enthusiasts of any art or level. All are welcome as long as you follow a few basic rules:
1. This is a family-friendy message board, no vulgar or obscene language is allowed. Please keep it clean, we do have younger students here in our community.
2. Respect others. No personal attacks are allowed. If you have a personal issue with a member, take to private messages.
3. No style/system bashing. If you don't like a particular style/system, that is your opinion, and you may share your opinion based on personal experience, but do it in an informative, polite manner, or take it to private messages. "Your style sucks..." posts are NOT allowed.
4. Be polite. We each have had our own experiences and opinions, and we can all learn from each other.
5. Remember, this is a PUBLIC forum. Nothing you write here is private, and can be viewed by anyone around the world. Because we don't require the use of real names, you may not know who you are really talking to.
6. Admin and moderators can and will edit or delete posts ruled to be inappropriate. Violating members will be warned through private message. Repeated violations may result in that member being banned from the forum.
Have fun and play nice!
