List of archived discussions

I have taken the liberty of breaking one comment up into several smaller comments for easier replying, since they raise a lot of good points. --Andrew 03:52, Apr 16, 2004 (UTC)

I did a little more tidying up by categorizing more discussions with headers. --Aesopian 15:20, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Longsword

I made a pretty big addition to this article recently, but it is far from "done". I'd like to advertise it a little, so that any other interested individuals might pick up on the momentum and help flesh it out with more information, more citations, or some-copy edits. All your help is appreciated. - xiliquiernTalk 17:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] opening paragraph expansion - Lei tai

I have been asked to expand the opening paragraph of my Lei tai article to better summarize all of the material cover. However, I'm more interested in digging for the information than I am rewriting the opening paragraph. Could someone on here please take a look at it and try to expand it themself? Other than that, the article looks great and I've added lots of pictures to it. (Ghostexorcist 21:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Japanese martial arts

Besides some well developed articles on various aspects of Japanese martial arts Koryu, Gendai budo, Budo and also specific martial arts such as sumo, aikido, jujutsu, etc. There is no article tying them together in a nice neat package along the lines of Chinese martial arts. Until now Japanese martial arts just redirected to budo and that just wasn't working. I started an article, tossed in a few picis, and really hope a concerted effort can be made to flesh out the article. It really doesn't have to be big but just tie in the history, evolution and modern sporting forms, etc as a hub from where the more detailed articles can be reached. We can worry about merging later.Peter Rehse 06:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creating a "martial art" infobox

I think it would be a good idea to create a "martial art" infobox, containing elements such as:

[edit] Chinese Stone Lock history?

When did these weights first appear. I've read that they were created during the Han Dynasty. But I have also heard the locks were created by Shaolin. I'm sticking with the "Han" idea since it sounds more historically accurate.

Who made and sold the blocks? Did ancient Chinese armies train with these locks? Where these used as weight measures before being adopted for martial arts training? I would especially like to know about the use of these locks during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Could someone show me actual sourced reference material on this subject. English or Chinese, it doesn't matter.(Ghostexorcist 08:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC))
