Seems reasonable to me. Will there also be a "supporting members" feature here as well?

[Bob Hubbard]

Yes. I'm still setting things up, but a Supporting Member level is planned. I'm llooking at how to best integrate things.

There are many schools that use the advanced belt style. If memory serves me correctly it was part of the original EPAK curriculum.

I think it should stay on white belt forever so we can watch people whine. JK

[dubljay]

Exelent idea Miyu

[Miyu]

Exelent idea Miyu

I come up with them, from time to time

[fistlaw]

I stand corrected then, keep the advanced kyu ranks.. This site looks to be better than MATalk when it is all done...

[kenpo tiger]

Kaith, Are you planning on adding the dreaded rep points?

[Bob Hubbard]

No. I get enough headaches on MT with em. lol

[michaeledward]

No. I get enough headaches on MT with em. lol

Now, If we were on Martial Talk, I would give this statement Positive Rep Points. Thinkaboutit!

[KenpoTess]

[Miyu]

He has to be... he dates me

By the way Bob, its Masochistic

I think not having rep points on this site migt keep people more focused on being supportive instead of trying to tear down the people around them.

I agree.

[Michael Billings]

Ditto!

[TheGoldenOne]

Keep it Kenpo........ All Kenpo..... All the time.

[Seig]

That's the idea, we really want to keep the politics to a minimum, but there are those that insist on dragging their agendas from other boards here. We cannot and will not allow it. Everyone basically has a fresh start here, even those we banned from MT. I am still working the bugs out of some of the rules, I am getting some input from those with legal backgrounds before I post a few of them. We want to protect those that are innocent and encourage open Kenpo discussion, regardless of lineage, without the hounding experienced on other boards.
