Urban Beatdown: Defend Yourself

Hi,

I am writing you from http://www.5min.com, a Videopedia community specializing in tutorials and instructional content. While scouting online for potential content contributors, I happened upon your site and your plethora of self-defense tutorials, and I was deeply impressed!

You’ve got some informative, well-executed videos, and I am certain 5min can serve as a great opportunity for you!

The scoop on 5min:
The 5min website was launched in April. Until now, we have had more than 4.5 million visits (1.5 in October alone!), 10 million page views, a Google page rank of 6 and a growing, enthusiastic and dedicated DIY community.

We believe that as the biggest site of its kind offering video technology that is tailor-made for instructional content, 5min has great value to offer – this might be just perfect for you!
We are offering not only a home for your videos and a wonderful platform for sharing your skills with the world, but also a branded studio for you which will include a link to your site, effectively promoting your website or blog, and an opportunity to donate your expertise and knowledge to other like-minded people, as well as get exposure from the traffic we get on 5min.com.

Hello!

We are working with Lionsgate films on the new Jackie Chan/Jet Li release The Forbidden Kingdom.

This is the first time these two legends will be both appearing on the big screen together and the film has been a massive smash in the states and China, hitting the number one spot in each territory.

To celebrate its release in the UK, we have set up a you tube channel where we want people in the UK to send us videos of their best martial arts moves like Jackie Chan and Jet Li – http://www.youtube.com/forbiddenkingdomcomp

We want a mix of some genuinely great moves but then also funny ones as well – if you check out the ones on the site now there are few tongue in cheek vids on there! The competition began yesterday, so we want as many videos as possible.

The rules are simple – the video with the most views wins! The idea is that people put their video up and then get their friends to vote for them. The top prizes are Ipod Touches and there are 5 to give away, but we may also be able to get hold of some signed Jackie Chan/Jet Li merchandise.

It would be fantastic if you could let your members know about the comp, and even enter a video yourself – we want to see some great martial arts moves!

Please give me a shout if you need any more info.

Thanks

Alexandra

WonderHowTo would like to feature your tutorials.

Let me know if you’re interested!

Hey Urbanbeatdown

You have a really original and funny site. That’s why I think you’ll like this Steven Seagal interview we did in 1997. We are the Shambhala Sun, a Buddhist community and magazine. Check out the interview and let me know if you’d like to reprint it with a link to our site!

Greetings from the Columbus Combat Academy. Love your stuff! Just thought we’d drop by and say hello. If you are ever in Ohio, look us up and we can trade bruises.
