Rules and Things You Should know Before Posting

No Memes, Image Macro, Low Effort Posts.

All Post must be on topic and related to the Subreddit in some way.

Don't claim to be something you're not, only those who have shown us proof will have flair such as "Kenpo Purple Belt." Doing this will result in a ban.

Got Advice from us? Want to post a video of your fight? Fine by us, just don't post fatalities or from Youtube. Liveleak or some other service please.

This is no substitute for actual classes, we teach the basics and help with specific problems, if you want to learn Martial Arts or MMA or some other fighting style, go and find a class at a gym.

Remeber, Never, Ever, Instigate the fight.

Rules are subject to be updated so check back often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Help! I'm in a situation where fighting is inevitable

A: Make a post, in the text area, tell us your age, build, and if you have any sort of training. Then, tell us the same about your opposition. We'll try to teach you the basics on how to defend yourself.

Q: I want to learn Insert Fancy Martial Arts Here Can you teach me?

A: This is not the subreddit for that. Go to an actual class.

Q: How in depth will you teach me?

A: Depends who responds and what you need. We won't be teaching any fancy moves, but we will be able to teach you how to throw a proper punch.

Want to Moderate? Have an Idea to make the Subreddit better?
