Community Giveaway (with some sweet prizes)

April 26, 2009 | Author: Matthew | Filed under: Martial Arts,Quizzes and Games,Recent Events,Site News

Last week I mentioned to the community here and on Facebook that I might run a giveaway soon. Well soon is now! I was able to secure some pretty cool prizes and we are on our way.

Here’s the scoop -

I have two prizes. One will be given to a randomly selected commenter on the blog. The other is going to a person who is a facebook fan of the website.

The contest has a 2 week run period, starting (today) Sunday April 26th and ending Friday May 8th (when the winners will be chosen).

The winners will be selected via a randomization program that looks like this:

For the Commenter Prize, all you have to do is leave a comment on any post between now and May 8th. For every comment you leave, your name will be entered one time into the program. The more comments you leave, the better your odds of winning.

For the Facebook Prize, all you have to do is be a member of the Facebook Fan page. Pretty simple right? The odds are going to be a bit more challenging to win for this one, so get your friends, family, coworkers, and long lost relatives involved so that one of you can win!

Here are the Prizes:

The prizes for this contest come courtesy of Karate Depot. Karate Depot is easily the most web friendly martial arts retailer out there and they do a great job supporting us, the online community. Check them out whenever you need new equipment!

The Commenter Prize is a brand new pair of Discipline Martial Arts Shoes ($50 retail value!)

These shoes come in all sizes, both men and women, and are perfect for training. Dojo safe and great for tournaments, these are a very valuable accessory for any competitor.

The Facebook Prize is a KD Elite Double Sided Focus Target ($30 retail value!)

This focus target is high quality and useful for practitioners of any style.

Alright! That’s it! I’ll see you out there and thanks again for hanging out with me.

Comment on any post (including this one), and be sure to fill out the email address field. Be a bud and don’t spam the comment field with a thousand comments – i’ll be able to notice rigging of the contest.

Oh wow…I think I'm already an FB fan…now I have to go look.
That focus target looks like the ones we have in class…they're great to use and make a satisfying “thwak!” when you hit them dead on…

Cool. Already a FB fan. Nothing for other martial arts bloggers who already have posted about your site?

Hey also – is that “comment on anything that Matt posts between now and May 8th” or is it “comment on anything from any point in time on ikigaiway between now and May 8th”?

The different being:
now -> may 8th
beginning of your blog -> may 8th

Haha, sorry Jesse – not this time around. But there will be more in the future so i'll definitely keep that possibility in mind!

Good question – It is comment on anything from any point in time on ikigaiway between now and may 8th. That way if you want to respond to someone on a previous post it still counts.

I thought Karateka didn't wear shoes.

Cool contest idea! I’ve been a fan even before I was a Facebook friend.

And to Chris, I think the days of barefoot practice are coming to an end. These days, everyone’s concerned about the spread of disease, whether it be athletes foot, plantar’s warts or MRSA.

What can I say? The world is run by lawyers.

Personally, I wear shoes no matter what style I’m practicing. It’s a matter of safety for me since I train outdoors. I have an aversion to fire ants, beer bottles and other nasty things that hide in the grass.

They don't. That's why he's giving them away. He's not giving away a boken, is he?

I'd have to agree with sean's take on it in the comment below. even tough guys can play it safe sometimes

Maybe I just need to harden up, but I worry about stubbing my toes on my opponent <_<
