"There are a number of Internet Social Networks out there but we wanted to create a safe, fun environment online for those that enjoy the martial arts.

"Planet MAC is the only social networking arena of its kind for martial arts enthusiasts. We invite everyone to join."

Planet MAC is the definitive martial arts social networking community where like-minded individuals can connect, discuss and share ideas and topical issues through blogs and video submissions. In this community, an initial group of individuals will invite members of their personal networks to participate in the site. New members repeat the process, growing the total number of members and links in the network. Planet MAC will offer other valuable features such as automatic address book updates, viewable profiles, the ability to form new links through "introduction services" and other forms of online social connections.
