It seems that a fair number of people would like style specific forums.

I think this would be a good idea as many threads can get lost in the general Martial Arts forum.

It would make the site a little bigger, but certainly more welcoming to new comers, as well as providing a specific site of information for those who would like to know more about a given style.

Budo.

another thing is..

what if there would a specific forum on the "how's" of different styles..

just a suggestion [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/IMG]

Summarising on what other have said. Would it be possible to:
1) expand Sword Arts into Weapon Arts?

2) Create a forum for grappling arts, perhaps amalgamating Aikido and Judo?

3) Create a "hard" or "striking" forum for the majority of other MA's ie Karate, Muay Thai, Kung Fu etc, seperate from general MA?

Afterall you have seperated TaeKwon Do and Aikdo and Judo from the other myriad of arts.

I just believe it would definately do this site justice to have more specific forums, to aid those coming onto it.

Or perhaps there is a lack of Moderators?

Thanks in advnace,

Budo.

Adding perhaps Brazilian jiu-jitsu and shoot-wrestling to the grappling forum....
