It is very much appreciatedReviewing ThreadsA few recommendations for anyone willing to help:Sort by Start Date instead of Most Recently UpdatedCheck only after the most recently checked thread so we don't repeat or miss threadsIf anyone mentions that they used to practice a martial art, they're probably going with a guild that matches their current interestsFencing/jousting/archery count!If they don't mention one but have themselves listed as a Monk, go for it.Searching with GoogleSaraKingdom's Search thread for Google with a possible second thread:site:rebellion.nerdfitness.com intitle:recruit "krav maga" OR judo OR "tai chi" OR aikido OR karate OR hapkido OR "tae kwon do" OR taekwondo OR kendo OR boxing OR hema OR fencing OR "kung fu" OR shaolin OR bagua OR escrima OR bjj OR jiujitsu OR "jiu jitsu" OR capoeira OR "martial art" OR mmasite:rebellion.nerdfitness.com intitle:recruit Monk OR "Tang soo do" OR jousting OR archery OR sword OR Iaido OR kali OR "stick fighting"Please tell me about any additional terms to add to the second set!Then click "Search Tools", open the "Any time" menu, and select "Past week" or "Custom Range".

Kishi Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Tai chi could be condensed down to one word. MMA typically means disciplines like kickboxing, muay thai, wrestling, Brazilian jiujutsu. At a certain point it's going to come down to what they put in as tags. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm sure it must take very much of your life to do this, and I'm grateful for the time you take. 2 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE!

ironmeg Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hello, I'm a rebel and am strongly considering joining the Monks for my next challenge. I've been poking around your board and reading some of your challenges and I really like them. Currently my challenges are more healthy eating and life based, but I want my next challenges to also be centered around getting back in to martial arts. I've studied Shitō-ryū and Taekwondo but it has been many years. I'm also very interesting in meditation although I really don't know where to start with that one. I've been reading up on your meditation board. So much good information there... So yea, I just wanted to introduce myself 2 Quote Link to post

Luciana Valerosa Culming Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Welcome ironmeg I believe you can change guild badges in your profile. ------- new recruits: Bookworm_Tess is doing Muay Thai and a lot of push ups. Xephira is into Muay Thai. shaolin_nerd542 posted the challenge in the introduction forum. This recruit is taking classes in Chen style Tai Chi and Hong Fist Kung Fu. halfsasquatch respawned and decided to join a martial arts club or already did so. I'm not sure. Ironmeg is also a recruit, enjoys Harry Potter and would like to join us. =) 2 Quote level 12 Hobbit Monk (respawned September 2016) STR 4 | DEX 15 | CON 16 | STA 15 | WIS 33 | CHA 24 | Halfling | Newbie | Fencer and Bookworm Introduction | Character | Daily Battle Log | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | # | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | #### | 17 | Current Challenge Spoiler I'm exercising, because I want to get my stamina and strength.

Johan Whitehelm Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hello! Can I join you here? My introduction is here: I like the idea of being a monk not just because I'm doing kickboxing (as I wrote in my introduction, it's non-combat, which is different from the norm in this group), but also because the image of a monk implies an interest in aligning mind, body and soul, which calls to me. Oh, and monks are lightning-fast and powerful, which is where I'd like to be. I hope you'll have me! 1 Quote Link to post

Treva : Longsword Ferrass : Karate Lovely Andione : Is still trying out different martial arts: an african style, kickboxing, Cuong Nhu, ... her goal is to try out different martial arts until she finds one that she likes. I have checked on them, but I haven't directed them to the guid yet. Perhaps someone wants to welcome them, too. And I was thinking of creating a martial arts directory. We're so spread across different guilds, that it's hard to keep track of everybody. edit: directed them all to the Coutyard. 3 Quote level 12 Hobbit Monk (respawned September 2016) STR 4 | DEX 15 | CON 16 | STA 15 | WIS 33 | CHA 24 | Halfling | Newbie | Fencer and Bookworm Introduction | Character | Daily Battle Log | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | # | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | #### | 17 | Current Challenge Spoiler I'm exercising, because I want to get my stamina and strength.
