Welcome to the Iain Abernethy.com message board! The purpose of this message board is to allow serious martial artists from all over the globe to network, share ideas, and help each other develop along their chosen paths. This message board is NOT for those who find pleasure in talking negatively about other martial arts, individuals or anything else! However, if you’re a real martial artist with a positive outlook, who wants to develop themselves, and help others to do likewise, then we’d love to have you as a member.
Anyone can join so long as they are prepared to conduct themselves in a way befitting a true martial artist and abide by a simple and straight forward set of ground rules. In addition to being able to get involved and post messages, members can also access other functions including the ability to communicate privately with one another (if they wish to). This message board has become a central point of contact for a vibrant community of helpful and highly-competent martial artists. If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, then we’d really like it if you’d join us.
We sincerely hope that you find this message board to be a useful resource, a positive environment for the exchange of ideas and information, and, above all else, we hope you find it fun!
