My Videos of the Day

As I’m sure any regular readers have noticed, each day I post up a martial arts video I find interesting.  I’ve really enjoyed doing this, but it has created a few problems.  1 - I’m starting to scrape the bottom of the video barrel, I only want to post good/interesting stuff up.  2 - The videos are pushing the normal content off the front page too quickly.

So, I’m going to change a few things.  My Video of the Day will no longer be posted every day.  Maybe every week?  I’m not sure yet, we will have to see how things progress.  Also, I am going to take the opportunity to post up more high-quality content and articles, and make sure to let you guys know about the changes to the site.  What am I talking about?  Well, you may or may not have noticed, but the martial arts schools listings are growing tremendously.  New schools are being added every single day.  Not only that, but a lot of articles have been (and are being) added about Martial Arts Styles.  I’ve also been working to expand the Learning Resources, for those of you who want to train on your own time.

Hopefully this will lead to a better Fighting Is Your Friend for everyone.

New Training Resources Now Online

Many of you may have noticed that my Video of the Day posts have largely been instructional in nature of late.  I am probably going to scale that back, and move back to the older style of more fun videos.  However, those videos are NOT going away.  In fact, you can expect to see a lot more of them.  I have created a new section of the site called Learning Resources which will feature instructional videos for a variety of Martial Arts.  I will try to get a link added up to the top shortly, so start watching, learning, and having fun!
