                  ====================

This FAQ is based on previous versions of the FAQ maintained by Izar
Tarandach and Alex Jackl.  The current maintainer of this FAQ is Randy 
Pals (pals@ipact.com).

The rec.martial-arts FAQ and Newbie Guide are available on rtfm.mit.edu in
the directory pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/rec/martial-arts, with the filenames
rec.martial-arts_FAQ_part_1_of_3, rec.martial-arts_FAQ_part_2_of_3,
rec.martial-arts_FAQ_part_3_of_3, and rec.martial-arts_Newbie_Guide.


This FAQ is not intended to be a Martial Arts Bible, but to give some
help to those that are looking for a place to start, or those more
experienced that would like to know more about some different style, have 
a particular doubt, etc.

Please note that this is not the Absolute Truth(TM) but rather an attempt
to give clear and basic information about this group and the martial arts.
