Tier One
This outline is a guide for both you and I. I will use it to keep straight what sort of information I should be putting up articles about. You should be using to see what you ought to understand for a solid foundation to build the rest of your martial skill upon.
If I have not written the article myself, or linked to one from someone else, use your google-fu to learn about it. If you happen to find a well written article covering a section still unlinked, come back and leave a comment so I can update. Once this is rounded out, we’ll move on to team training.
