PAFbook : Member's Site


Our new home at PAFbook! (a CLOSED Group within Facebook):

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=143009379069076

When you go to this page, you'll see a brief intro to the signup process:

Joining the PAFbook group is a 2-step process:
  1. 1. Click the "Request to Join" button on this page (should be on the top of the screen)
  2. 2. Send Chris Garner(via Facebook) an email/message asking to join, and telling him where you train or what your affiliation with the PAF is.
Once he confirms who you are, he'll let us (the moderators) know to approve your request.

We're working to bring all the fantastic photos and videos you submitted over to the new site, but since there's over 400(!) this may take a little time. In the meantime, please head over to PAFbook, signup, get posting and sharing, it should be a lot easier to stay up-to-date through Facebook.

NOTE: If you don't have a Facebook account, you'll need to create one to join the Group.

Welcome to the New PAF Website

With the close of March 2008, we are moving to this new website. The site has been in development for over 8 months and represents the contributions from a number of Shiohira Sensei's students, who designed and implemented it from the ground up.

We hope you like the new look and find it easy to navigate with useful information.
