Cooking, Martial Arts, Painting and drawing, Gardening and Permaculture
You can help me and my little production group out by doing
the following:
1. Repost this for me!
2. Join any of the sites which interest you, and participate in the
forums, maintain a blog, or send us an article!
3. See thise little icons? They're for
social bookmarking sites like Digg, del.icio.us, Yahoo, etc. If you
have an account on any of these, click the icon to bookmark an article
or some content that you like. If you don't have one, create one and
then bookmark a few things! This will go a very long way in generating
traffic to the sites, and reduce the amount we have to spend on
advertising, so we can spend more on creating quality content.
4. Post a link to these sites on your blog, website, etc. or write a
blog entry, or whatever you want
5. Invite other people and spread the word!
Combative Martial Arts.
This is the site that we had originally planned. However,
although I'll probably devote most of my time and resources to this
project, I decided that the scope of what I wanted to do was a bit
bigger than this. Combative Martial Arts is devoted primarily to
practical self defense and survival issues. These include real world
effective martial arts, home and vehicle security, firearms, and so on.
Having lived for many years in the so-called 3rd world, I've seen lots
of bad things happen to people, and this site is primarily aimed at
people somewhere between those who want to protect themselves and their
families, and those who serve in the military or work in the
professional protection industry.
Internal/Spiritual
Martial Arts . This is one of my biggest areas of interest
these days. In fact, in the next two months I'll be moving from here in
South Korea to China in order to focus more on Chinese Internal Martial
Arts, because . . . I'm not getting any younger or any more handsome,
and my focus these days is more on striving towards perfection, and the
notion that I can use my body as a vehicle to better understand my
'real' self.
Strategy And Tactics .
I'm guessing that the forums of this site is where you'll most often
find me being the most active. This site is dedicated to classic and
modern texts and thought on strategy and tactics. Those may be related
to military endeavors, business, or in your own personal life. First
order of business? "What's your personal strategy for __X__?". I'm
really interested in hearing what other people think, and how they live
their lives!
Dynasty Swords.
A small site about swords, sword manufacture, maintenance and fencing.
Not very developed yet, but it will be.
Good Tao Trading Co.
Is under construction, but this will be the future home of the company
that I am going to start after I move to China in a couple of months.
The business will be dedicated to high quality products, equipment and
services related to internal martial arts (specifically Tai Chi),
preventative medicine and health, and related services.
Thanks to everyone who has helped out and supported with these
projects, and who continue to do so.

This is my Tai
Chi, Business, and Personal Blog . . . When I move to China
I'm going to start focusing heavily and almost exlusively on training
Tai Chi, and this will document that, as well as my martial arts
ventures, adventures, SEO stuff, etc.
Steelrobe 2.0 - Subculture
in Asia . . . Everything you ever wanted to know about
Punk/Oi!/Rockabilly/Ska, etc. in Asia. Oh yeah - and some
fruits in costumes, too.
The Ramayana, The Upanishads, 1984, Brave New World, The Perennial Philosophy, Call of the Wild, White Fang, Baghavad Gita as it is
Kawaguchi Ekai. The only person who ever travelled the world to be more bumble-headed and incompetent than me, and make it out alive.
