Filipino Martial Arts Styles
MyFMA.net T-shirts
As mentioned in our September 2010 Announcements, we will have T-shirts that represent MyFMA.net - Filipino Martial Arts Network and its members available in the near future. We are working with Anthony Sell and a few other individuals on possible designs and artwork.
On the back of each shirt, we want to display the various styles/systems represented by MyFMA.net members. In order to get this project off the ground, we are asking that every style/system be sponsored by a donation of $50. Any member, group, school, or organization may sponsor any recognized Filipino Martial Arts style/system that they wish. Multiple entities may also sponsor the same style/system.
Every style/system that is sponsored will have its name clearly written across the back of the shirt - probably in a recognized design. We will not be able to accommodate the various logos of each style/system on this first design. That is something we would be excited about doing in future projects.
Note: Placement of each style/system name will be displayed on a first come basis. (Unless determined differently by our members.)
We do not have a current deadline for the project, but the sooner styles/systems are sponsored the sooner we can make the shirts available.
We envision FMA events being overrun with our members sporting their new "Filipino Martial Arts Network" shirts! Through our combined unity, the FMA community will flourish and prosper!

We now have a PayPal donation application on the right hand side bar. Simply choose the amount that you would like to donate from the drop down selection and click Give. During the check out process you will be given an opportunity to input comments/special instructions. Please indicate the style you wish to sponsor.
You may also add the widget to your own websites by clicking "Add to Site." This will help us generate more interest and garner more support for your own individual style(s).

Down the road , have multiple styles of shirts and have "don;t bring a gun to knife fight" on one of them. Guru Blackgrave was sporting on of these tees in one of his Seamok vids ( about "Debunking the Karambit hujib") and I loved it. See if one of the color combos on the shirts ( if you decide to have multi colors sets,cuz you know the girls are gonna want pink) to be OD green and black letters. This is a great Idea! Maybe an online store, maybe consider maketing items from the different styles/ schools and then myFMA.net get a % and the style or school gets a %. Its a win win! Books, DVD(s), training sets. Possibly someone could get some distance learning stuff going....Please? Great Idea! Can't wait to see the new shirts. Peace, Don

How many styles do you anticipate to be on the back of the T-shirt? Will it be white or black background? I like the black T-shirts myself.

Tom,
We will probably take a poll of members' preferences. My guess is that the first shirts will be black - with future shirts in white and other colors.

We will be happy to place as many styles/systems on the shirt as possible. Any style/system that is sponsored will be featured on the back.
