This is Dave Young's Forum.
Can you really bridge the gap between reality and training? Between traditional karate and real world encounters? Absolutely, we will address in this forum why this transition is necessary and critical for survival, and provide suggestions on how to do this correctly. So come in and feel welcomed, but leave your egos at the door!
I like either 1 or 2. I dl'd all three, removed the "free image..." on top and resized them. They are not blocky when resized. In fact they look good. The height though is slightly larger than the standard size. #3 is larger in height so to keep the proper perspective it remains that way.
Mattson-sensei or Danzinger-san, I don't know what you need in order to use that as the banner image for the forum, so just let me know and I'll try to oblige.
