About
Welcome to The Filipino Martial Arts Forum!
This group was formed for the appreciation and spirited discussion of the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) and things related to it. This may not be what you would expect… More of a typical forum or group so we suggest that before you post or comment that you read what is written below.
Please read our statement of principles and make sure you understand and answer all 3 questions when you submit your "join" request. Thank you!
FORUM STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
● This group was founded for the appreciation, discussion, research, and upliftment of Filipino Martial Arts. We would like it to be a source of information and insight on authentic Filipino martial arts. It is not a venue for the exploitation of this Filipino heritage by individuals or groups who simply want to profit from its popularity.
● The Filipino martial arts are not limited to arts such as Arnis and Eskrima but also include other armed and unarmed systems that originate from the Philippine archipelago. We would like to be a venue for the discovery and preservation of the more obscure systems from these islands.
● FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION is valued very highly here. But please keep discussions intelligent and avoid hurling personal insults at each other.
Note:
Should we not like what you have to say, we will still respect your right to say it (respectfully we hope).
● There is a BIG difference between FACT and OPINION (look it up if you don't know the difference). There is nothing wrong with expressing opinion or hypothesizing. Feel free to do so. But presenting opinion as fact is frowned upon here.
Note:
A master or authority figure saying so does not automatically make something a fact.
A book saying so does not automatically make it fact.
● ARGUMENTUM AD HOMINEM is frowned upon here (look it up if you don't know what it means). Attack the argument and not the person making the argument. What is important is what is said, not who says it.
●We encourage duels of intellect here. Not physical ones. Challenging someone to a physical duel as a result of heated discussions may be indicative of a weak argument.
●Discrimination based on race, nationality, gender, or religion will not be tolerated here. Discrimination based on lack of logic is a natural phenomenon.
● This is NOT a men's club!!! Posting material objectifying women (or men for that matter) will not be tolerated even if it is FMA related.
