RULES OF THE SENSHIDO FORUM:

Welcome to our online community.

There are a number of experts, professionals, LEO's, authors and leading martial artists from all over the globe in this forum, all of whom contribute to the effort of providing quality information. As this forum is frequented by many people who've 'been there and done that' and have put or continue to put their lives on the line, topics of conversation tend to address higher issues, such as moral, legal, ethical, psychological issues and responsibilities arising from use of force.

The forum is not very kind to traditionalists and theorists who tend to argue personal protection and combative issues without an ounce of actual experience or cultists who think that they have found the ultimate style or system and will incessantly argue their points based on no experience what-so-ever. While questions are always encouraged, advocating a Hollywood martial arts technique as a proven self-defense move will irk those who have "been there." Please re-read your posts before posting them and make sure they adhere to the following rules:

This Forum is monitored at all times. If you do not think you will be capable of abiding by the following rules, please do not post here. You will only be immediately kicked off and banned from the forum and your post will immediately be deleted.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. No personal information on Richard Dimitri or any other of the Senshido staff will be permitted to be discussed on this forum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Remain cordial and polite at all times, even if you disagree with someone’s opinions. Only mature discussions will be tolerated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. No harassment of other chatters. This includes harassing people in private messages. If any such harassment is seen, you will be immediately banned from the Senshido forum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. No public defamation or disrespectful criticism of another instructor and/or style of martial art (I.e. TKD sucks, so & so sucks etc.). If you have a negative opinion state it intelligently and respectfully with facts or supported opinions. (I.e. I think TKD is not functional because it deals with mainly 1 range…)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. No Spam! No advertising of any products and/or websites unless relevant to the particular thread in question. If you would like to post a seminar advertisement, please contact me personally at RDimitri@Senshido.com first with information regarding the seminar and I will get back to you.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. No sexual comments of ANY kind or political or religious discussions, this is not the appropriate forum for it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. No writing IN ALL CAPS. It is considered shouting and is rude and unacceptable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. No writing in colors… it’s annoying.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. No unnecessary profanity or colorful adjectives to illustrate a point. Keep the discussion on a mature, cordial and professional level.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Please read and inform yourself about our system through our web site before posting a question. The majority of the time, the answers can be found within several sections of the site including: Articles - Who we are - Shop - Learning - Senshido Defined - FAQ and more. Please inform yourself a little prior to posting and understand, it's nothing personal, we just sometimes receive the same questions over and over again and they are already answered within the pages of the web site.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. No personal attacks on any individual, even if you disagree with their opinions. you may challenge a person’s logic, facts and opinion's, however if you attack a person’s premise you must present facts, evidence and a clear basis for your challenge.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. To ensure quality information, if you quote a fact, please cite your sources. If it is worth posting, it is worth researching. If it is second-hand information, qualify it (Ie., "my instructor told me"), but be prepared to do the research to prove it if called upon to do so. Personal experience is an acceptable source however, even if your personal experiences are valid, they may not apply to one and all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. If it is your first time posting, please introduce yourself prior to posting and give us a brief bio in order to qualify yourself. Please understand that anonymous posts, aliases, and people who do not include a valid email address will not be taken as seriously as those who do - - regardless of the quality of their posts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thank you

Sincerely,
Richard Dimitri
