Matt, thank you very much for the kind words, and I am very happy that MAP has been valuable source of information for you! As you are aware, MAP is an actively moderated community forum that has included ALL martial artists .... including those with a learning disability, visual impairment, physical impairment or deafness. We can all learn from one another with a little patience & understanding! I hope that all our members take this into consideration as I know many have already, when they visit this particular "DMA" forum I am glad you are staying here with us Matt !
Right on Matt! Always good to hear from you! I am going right now to round up everyone here at MAP and force them to reply to this thread or I will kick them in the shins!!!! Just joking... I'm glad that the MAP forum is giving you good feedback. And rest assured, I'm patting myself on the back even though sometimes people at MAP really just want to punch me in the nose! That's not very nice of them is it Matt? On second thought... don't answer that. I would do well to follow your advice. Hang in there and keep posting on MAP... you're always welcome and we look forward to hearing from ya!
Keep on training and keep posting. Your enthusiasm makes MAP a better place... I know I look forward to your posts because of that.
Matt, We've not spoken before, but I'm happy to change that by adding a post to your thread! I hope you get a post from everyone on MAP. I think it's a really nice idea, and I'll be keeping an eye on the thread to see how the numbers are growing. Good luck!
thank you all keep up the good work "green eggs and ham sam i am" sometime I want to know what you train and what gi and sparring gear you use from matt blake
It's great to hear from someone with such enthusiasm I echo the sentiments of course Keep up the training and quality posting! Best of luck!
Hi Matt, as always I like your posts. Hope you are sweating hard when you train to get the most of it! Im glad to hear MAP is a source of information for you, and hope it continues to be for a looooooooooong time!
Hey Matt, Good to hear that you are finding MAP useful. I'm really enjoying it as well. Yes it would be great if everyone actually thought of what they wrote before they hit "submit reply" but unfortunately that's life in the instant mail world. Someone once said that if people had to actually sit down and write if on a piece of paper and mail it then the response would be more thought out. Try not to take some of what's written too seriously, some people can be immature - not young... immature. People can and do disagree but if they treat others with the same respect as they hope to receive then things will go well. I will keep an eye out for your posts and reply to them when I can. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Matt, for sharing your enthusiasm and proving there is always something we can learn from those around us.
Well, I know you already for some years now Matt and I find it amazing to see how "fresh" your interest in MA still is. At the end of the day you're an inspiration for us all Kisses from Romania
I train in Aikido and Qigong, though I hope to add some FMA to that list soon. I just use a cheap as chips karate gi but no sparring gear at the mo' (cuz we don't spar per se), but I'm looking at getting a decent Aikido gi soon. I read somewhere on here that you didn't get a good response from some other site so I'm glad you're sticking around here where the attitudes are better and much more inclusive for us impaired practitioners... the world's tuff enuff without narrow-minded holes thrown in for good measure.
