About the "Bad Martial Artists"

This site represents the efforts of many martial artists. As with all martial arts, most of the knowledge is passed down from instructors to students. Therefore it is difficult to say that anything here is the effort of just one person. The primary authors of the pages in this website are Aaron and Jon Knapp. We have been practicing martial arts for over a decade, and both currently hold the rank of 4th Dan in a self-defense oriented style of Tae Kwon Do. It would be difficult to pick any technique in the martial arts in particular that is my favorite, as the current concept to practice depends on what I want to learn next and what injuries are preventing me from doing other things (anyone that practices MA heavily probably knows exactly what I mean). There is no end to different techniques and styles offered by the full bredth of the martial arts, so we try lots of different stuff. Our other interests include flying, writing (obviously), fine arts, composing music, and software development (my profession).
