TheSunTheMoonTheStars Posted May 29, 2016 Hello to the TaoBums Community! For my first post just thought I'd say I've studied and practiced martial arts for 10 years, but its not how long you've studied its: how intensely you have studied and practiced who you studied and practiced with what you studied and practiced how open your instructor was in passing on his knowledge to you how much you understood, internalized, and expanded upon what you studied and practiced and was what you studied tested in dangerous situations.

Marblehead Posted May 30, 2016 Hello TheSunTheMoonTheStars, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi Stars, Yeah, it's not how fast you study but how well you study fast. (All good points though.) You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
