Working Martial Artists - LinkedIn Group
Maybe you run a martial arts studio, maybe you're just starting out in a martial art, and maybe you're an experienced practitioner.
If you're any of these three, you might be interested in joining our LinkedIn group - Working Martial Artists. There are folks with Karate, Kung Fu, Aikido, Judo and plenty of other disciplines. Feel free to join, and exchange ideas, experiences, and tips.
More and more, I'll try to ensure this blog isn't simply covering Tae Kwon Do, but other arts as well.
