"Just
a Small Part of The Stableford
Martial Arts Resource Site"
I've used this space to access the many articles from various sources.
I was recently disappointed to learn of the disappearance of the great
Warrior-Scholar-Monk Site, by Darran Hight, spouting some sort of dribble
about how he needed more time to train. Hey, we all know how that feels.
I've decided to take the liberty of archiving some of the best articles
I run across. I'll only use the archives if the site becomes unavailable.
However, if you have a great site, with original content or unique material,
please let me know if you are going off-line so at least some of the material
that you spent so much time creating will not be lost to the Martial Arts
Community. Thanks.
I've started putting together some themes into reference articles, by way of adding original content and martialing some of the information in these links. This will be a slow process. But here's the first:
The
Legend of Bodhidharma
- with links to Indian martial arts and philosophy
Among her other
writings Jeri Massi has posted on the net this wonderful story of one
woman's involvement and struggles/joys with the martial arts. Outstanding!
Jeri's
Tae Kwon Do Book - Jeri Massi
- absolutely do not pass this one by!
