Add to Wiki

If you would like to contact us or add some information to Black Belt Wiki, please use the form below. We are always looking for help with kata instructions, terminology, step-by-step technique instructions, spotting broken links or videos, etc. Since there are so many different martial arts, we need your help in order to expand the information on these different styles & techniques… as we don’t know everything (not even close). 🙂 We need assistance with the martial arts styles where we have only limited knowledge. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Benefits for Adding Information

  • If you send us information, we will list you below as one of the wiki contributors.
  • We will also reference your school or blog and link back to your website in the reference sections of wiki pages where you add content. Free promotion for your school or blog is always good!!!
  • You will be helping beginners to better understand techniques & kata or learn more about your specific martial arts style.
