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.

        How long did you learn kendo? I've only been going for about 3 mths now. I want to get really good and go to some tournaments.

          Wise decision on your part my friend. Not many men would last long with me in any type of challenge match.

          I studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for many years (3 days a week), then I dabbled in a Kendo Class once a week before one of my BJJ classes (for about a year). I found the combination very satisfying, but I stopped Kendo and continued my BJJ training for another few years. I was not serious about my Kendo.

          I think I craved Kendo for the intensity of the Practice. Even though my BJJ instructor held the most intense BJJ Training I have ever experienced, I still craved the full force Kendo focus.

          I eventually went back to Kendo and seriously studied for 2 years without BJJ (yet BJJ has always been my first love, and I have since returned).

          Through the years, the combination has added a new focus to my BJJ (something that commonly lacks in the art).

          I still believe that people are best studying one Martial Art for as long as they possibly can. Practice gets boring and difficult, and it is very easy to run out and join a new club with new moves and a new focus. I think overall the combination has been good to my practice, but I don't like that I left BJJ for so long to pursue other "interests".

          Don't expect to get very far or do very well in Kendo unless you give it 100 percent of your attention. It is too difficult and you must stay focused all the time. You cannot be a part-time Kendo Student, or practice once a week. Kendo is a commitment, you should either do it or don't.

          Good luck with your training my friend.

            yeah i know, i do want to get good though. Kendo practice is tiring but its intense and fun too. I love yelling and swinging and running.
