I know that December was a pretty slow month for the site.  I spent a lot of time trying to get new shirts made (and this has been a success!).  That said, I plan on making it up to you all this month – starting today.  Not only do I have the results from UFC 108 for you here now, but later on today I will also get the first product review of the new year online.  Enjoy!

I know I’ve been promising a new shirt in the store for a while now, and I am a man of my word.  I am pleased to announce that the Alley Ninja Shirt is now available in the FIYF Store.  As always, the shirt is printed on high-quality American Apparel 2001 shirts.  I honestly think it might be the best-looking shirt we have.  Check it out, let me know what you think, and keep coming back for more t-shirt announcements!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to get together with Walt Manning, a Tai Chi Instructor in Florida, who specializes in the martial applications of Tai Chi.  He was kind enough to do some filming with me, and I’ve got them posted online for you.  You can see them on the Fighting Is Your Friend YouTube Channel or here in our Tai Chi Tutorials section.  I am continuing to work to bring you newer and better videos all the time, so stay tuned!

Some of you may have noticed that the site has undergone some changes lately.  Most noticeably, the banner ad at the top of all the pages is gone.  I really just didnt think it worked with the site, and I didnt want to spam you guys with ads, so I decided to remove it.  Also, I am in the process of relocating the martial arts school listing.  They will no longer be located in the forums, but here on the main blog site.  This is a slow and painful process, so bear with me if it takes a while to complete.  I’ve also changed up how comments work.  You used to have to go to the forums to post comments on stories.  That is no longer the case.  You DO still need an account on the forums to post a comment, but you will be able to post them directly here, just like you can on any other blog.  I hope you guys enjoy these changes, and stay tuned for more!
