KFM Year in Review 2010

[MightyB]

As this year comes to an end... what marvelous new martial insights have we made through this intellectual think tank known as the KFM Forum in 2010?

[MightyB]

1) MMA/TMA - the debate continues culminating in the expulsion of members
2) Progressive training is more "in" that not "in"
3) Ninjettes are hott
4) KFM'ers are still really political
5) Sanjuro always finds a way to ride that thin line between porn/not quite porn

as the year of the tiger winding down

we welcome the year of the rabbit.

:cool:

6) MK is still the best-looking guy here.

[David Jamieson]

7) anonymity is for girly boys

this year, I think I spent more on line time on you tube and facebook.

video search more than text reading and discussion.

Not enough can be said about a full colour publication and it's inherent goodness.

we welcome the year of the rabbit.
just a pause in the shadow of the bush until the the dragon appears. :D

[David Jamieson]

rabbits are good food, but you gotta eat a lot of them to satisfy a dragon... :)

rabbits are good food, but you gotta eat a lot of them to satisfy a dragon... actually, without vitamin A, you'd eventually die of starvation eating only rabbits. :p

yes, after the bunny year, it is the dragon reigning year that follows.
