However, this Forum is going to be a little different.  Beyond the complete change in name to Martial Fusion, and function of the website, we wanted this forum to be different then any forum on the net.  We decided after much discussion at our recent jam-session to try to create the best of both worlds.  Our last couple of forum ideas didn't work well, mostly because we forgot why we are here in the first place.   We originally got together to work out in a non-formal setting and perpetuate Kenpo in it's purest form, physically manifested.  We soon realized that we, each of us in our group, have a knack for creating methods and equipment that weren't typical.  Since we had a couple of artists, lots of availability for R&D, and a vision, we thought we'd run with it.  And now we have Martial Fusion, with merchandise for martial artists, by martial artists.  After completely reinvented ourselves, we thought we'd start fresh with the new forum. 

       Now that we have returned to this vision, our forum is going to serve two goals.  First, our forum is for all of us at Martial Fusion to keep everyone informed of the things that are in the works.  We plan on it being much more real time then our updates section.  Everything from our merchandise to our associate sites as well, will be covered on the forum and mentioned as upcoming projects.  And second, to talk shop, or Kenpo, so to speak.  Granted, we will be covering more martial arts conversations then strict American Kenpo, given the theme of the merchandise we create.  In the end, our only rule would be to leave your attitude at the door, keep an open mind, and no matter what style, system, branch, or whatever you are from, be ready to talk shop and have a good time.
