... And its as a martial arts examiner for the examiner.com in the Columbus Ohio area. I just got it and am hoping to expose the general public and especially people that are trying to get into martial arts to the awesome selection of great schools in the area, while still acknowleging that there are people that want to do martial dance and larping and show that for what it is. I only just started and I only have one article up, but it is about what martial art school a person just getting into the martial arts should choose and why.

the link is www.examiner.com/x-51289-Columbus-Martial-Arts-Examiner and I would love some feedback, prefferably constructive, but all will be noted. this is my first time as a "paid" writer so I am probably not the best. If you guys have any ideas too that would be awesome, I have a ton written down and there should be two more posts in the next two days. I hope to get to the point where I am updating daily, so like I said any ideas you have would be awesome.

Also, sorry to the mods if this seems like spam, just looking for feedback, but feel free to move/delete as needed

Copy and paste it, it works.

The article was good, well written. Congrats on your job.

I like the fact that you linked schools.
In future are you going to go into more detail on some of the arts themselves? And are you going to go into, at all, some of the dangers of schools, contracts, claims etc?

I plan on doing a weely school review, and within those reviews doing a blurb about the style in question. As for the dangers of contracts and false claims, i feel ashamed as a memeber of bullshido to not remembered to write articles about that. But I will now!

Also snake, i tried to fix the link, hopefully it works now

I dont think it needs a lot of attention, or it might turn into a **** storm of annoyed people, but it cant hurt to cover it, raise awareness.

School reviews sounds like a decent way to attack the topic.
