New martial art poll...of sorts

Guest · Unread post by **Guest** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 8:22 pm

Since I'm almost done with my current crop of new martial art styles, I decided to see how well filled out I was in the various areas of the world. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be coming up short for new Middle Eastern styles, so I thought I'd poll the folks of the board and see what new styles they'd like to see from the Middle East.

Vote now, vote often, list as many styles as you can think of.

Okay, here are all the Middle Easter Martial Art forms I can think of . . .

uh, would the special training for Israeli commandos count?
