The latest few weeks have been very busy with work and various martial arts related  activities… Having just one life and so many hours in a week I started a few posts and struggled to finish them.  I am also preparing for the CARISMA Summer Camp that I am sure it will bring some interesting insights.

I would like to invite you all, my readers, to help us to further grow this blog:

• if you are reading this occasionally please subscribe to it;
• if you are receiving this via Email (and have access to Bruce Lee Strength Training EBook) please forward your Email to a friend that might be interested in reading about it.
• We recetly added the tweetmeme plug in that allows automatic retweet of each post and page with a single button: please use it!

I would also like to invite those readers that are also authors of other martial arts related blogs to connect with Martial What, perhaps by exchanging links and commenting on each other posts.

Have a nice rest of the Summer (for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere).

I have recently been commenting a post titled: Are You Smart Enough to Fight a Monkey? I found very interesting the different points of view of various people that contributed with their comments (23 at the time of writing).

I would be interested in other people’s opinion about this topic.

The 2008 is coming to its end: it just occurred to me that this blog has been going for nearly a year now!  I would like to thank you all, the readers and subscribers, that helped Martial What? to grow until now.

My mission for 2009 is to establish Martial What? as an authority blog that discusses interesting topics about martial arts, open to a broader and active readership.  With this post I am asking a little help from all the existing readers to:

• help me to make Martial What? more interesting by commenting more articles: comments should be posted on the blog please, not directly to me via Email as some time happened in the past.
• help me to increase membership: if you are reading Martial What? regularly then please subscribe to the blog via Email.  Please then forward each Email you receive to all people you know that might be interested in what Martial What? is about ad the various topics discussed.
• help me to write about the topics you are interested in: send me some questions via Email (massimo (at) martialwhat (dot) com) that I can discuss and answer on the blog: please no questions about who would win between this and that fighter in UFC or whether Bruce Lee was really so good.

So enjoy a great end of the year 2008 and and wish you fantastic start for 2009.

Massimo
