| Sites related to topics being discussed in this particular section of the forum: Superb site dedicated completley to applying the methods of critical thinking and modern scepticism to the martial arts: "Bad Martial Arts" http://www.badmartialarts.com/critical_thinking.phpPerhaps the orignal and certainly the most popular martial arts site largely dedicated to debunking martial arts fraud, albeit with a SBG MMA bias: Bullshido http://www.bullshido.com A fitness site that applies scientific and critical thinking to sports performance, debunking myths at the same time: "Coach Hale" http://www.maxcondition.com/news.php |
