harlan Professional Poster Registered: 07/31/04 Posts: 6660 Loc: Amherst, MA	Not to worry...it's not advertising. Check out the forums at the bottom of the Main Index page (Martial ARts Media), and there is a thread or two on "What ARe You Reading" in the Asian ARts section. _________________________ http://www.traditionalfightingartsforum.com/phpBB3/
