Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    fighting is pretty much being able to dodge and hit. Chinese developed the best way to move your body, the understood the scientific qualities of strength and movement. When you look at things like who will Tai Chi vs mike tyson thats ridiculous. Tai Chi, and Chi Kung are the spiritual aspects of the body. Fighting is once again doing the best possible movement in any given situation, involving getting hurt or hurting others. Ju jitsu being submission moves, boxing being knockouts, etc etc. I beleive thers a way for any style to beat any other style. As for muay thai, isnt that jamaican dance fighting, come on dont make me laugh.

      The best martial arts is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu . I challenge any man or women on this message board to a no holds barred street fight to prove my style is superior. I live in the Southern California area. Pick any social setting a club, elevator, phone booth, the beach etc...and I will meet you there. Until then practice your katas and punching the air. I'll practice a real self-defense system.

        clubbin714 have you used your fighting system against a group of people or 1 on 1? Grappling is extremely effective when its a 1 on 1 situation (most 1 on 1 fights end up on the ground anyway) How is the your techinque used against a group?

          Armenian martial arts

          I've been searching for martial arts to learn when i discovered that they were not exclusive to the far east. I then decided to see if there was an armenian one. After many hours i came across a name after manymore hours thats still what i had just a name : Hayaren Martig (Armenian Death, Tiger Dance). Anyone know anything more about it or even where i could train.
          Thanks

            "There is this so-called "Martarvest" too. Which has the legendary "tiger dance". This includes almost all the self-diffence movements and is very fun to learn."

            I researched this and came up with the name hayaren martig. Anyone know anymore or where to train.
            Thanks

              If you live in S. California, and close enought to either North Hollywood or Glendale, I'd recommend you check out Glendale Fighting Club or Hayastan Gym which is run by Gokor Chivichyan. He is a legend in the world of martial arts.

                    No clue, never heard of it before. You could contact one of those gyms above and ask someone there, maybe they know. If you are looking to train in self defense I would not try to learn the martig style, it sounds like it is not very effective in real world situations. Try to learn Sambo, Krav Maga, or Sanshou. All were developed to train the military in hand to hand, and weapon fighting. Sambo also includes some grappling as well.
