    Perhaps we should put our heads together and compile a Frequently Asked Questions sticky. It seems like there are specific questions we end up awnsering almost every month, sometimes multiple times in the same week. For example, just this past week

    We could brainstorm and compile frequently/commonly asked questions on this thread, and collectively provide awnsers for them. Actually many of the awnsers have already been provided by most of us on previous threads. And then the moderators could nicely edit and cut and paste them into a sticky placed nicely at the top of the FMA forum.

    My thinking is not that we collectively look for the "right" awnser, deletiing disagreeing views so much as the sticky will provide a well rounded view from multiple angles.

    Here's my 1st take on some of the most common questions we get here
    .Whats the difference between kali, arnis and eskrima?
    .whats the difference between FMA and silat?
    .how would fma empty hands do against (insert name of other system)?
    .why do you teach weapons first?
    .What is FMA?

    Just looking at that I already know I could do a search and find well written awnsers for all of these questions.

    This well written sticky regarding the Sayoc kali training rig from the Sayoc forum demonstrates the kind of thing I think would be ideal here,

    Questions highlighted at top, with the questions and awnsers following and credit given to the original poster, allowing multiple awnsers from different vantage pionts on the sticky.

    This sound like a good idea, come I am sure some will agree with the answers and others wont but come on Mod's lets see this one:) At least it will stop the same questions being asked over and over again.


    Best regards

    Or like this one you mean ;)

    MAP Aikido FAQs

    Lets get all the questions asked, get some answers for them (even two or more answers in the case of 'disagreements') and a mod will edit an FAQ together.

    So lets get some material together (I've already asked a few questions)! :D
