Post by Richard Olpin »

This is a PRIVATE forum which is for the use of members and friends of the Ilyokwan Black Belt Academy. Access is restricted to registered users only which is why you cannot view any forum contents until you are registered and logged in.

Before you register please read the following requirements carefully.

Requirements for new Members
  • As this is a private forum, all new members must be approved by the forum administrator.
  • When you register, please complete your user profile fully.
  • We require that any new members register using their full name, that way everyone is quite clear who they are talking to. Registrations will not be accepted if nicknames or pseudonyms are used.
  • Any new members should first start with an introductory post outlining who they are, a brief training history and details of any current affiliations.

Forum Guidelines

Mutual Respect
The Ilyokwan forum is an open community. Every user is entitled to their own personal opinions, however, mutual respect is expected and though we encourage frank and open discussion, abuse or personal insults directed towards another user will not be tolerated.

Posting New Threads
When starting new topics, please take care to post in the appropriate section of the forum and take a moment to look over recent topics for related threads.

If there is already a thread relating to the subject, please reply to that one rather than starting a new topic. We reserve the right to lock duplicate threads or to move threads which are posted in the wrong section.

Graphic/Potentially Offensive Images
We are generally a pretty broad minded group, but everyones tastes are different so we ask that potentially offensive images etc should always be linked rather than directly posted and that they are clearly labelled as such with a brief description to warn others before clicking.

Signature images
Large image files in user signatures are discouraged. You already have the ability to personalise your account with a user avatar so please keep signatures subtle. We reserve the right to delete them without notice.

Forum Moderation
Please remember, the Ilyokwan forum is provided free of charge. The admin team give their time freely to help ensure things run as smoothly as possible at all times. Sometimes we will make decisions which you may not like, but please remember, in all matters relating to the forum their decisions are final and will not be open to debate.
