Self Evaluation Questions
Being the martial arts lover I am, I actually spent a HUGE amount of time searching for reliable sources and good videos. The part that I had to spend the most time on was researching for the history; I was only familiar with the techniques and fundamentals of East Asian Martial Arts thanks to my interest and practice in that area. I think my research payed off because I am honestly impressed with the information I gathered.
 * __What did you contribute specifically to your project?__**

I think I did a pretty good job. I kept the history not too detailed but not too shallow so that the readers wouldn't lose interest and just press the back button. I also included a lot of videos so that people could actually see what I was talking about (I think I put in a total of 14 video clips).
 * __How successful do you think you conveyed your research to your audience?__**

Hm... that is honestly a hard question because I put a lot of effort in making my wikipage visually friendly. Maybe if I had more color in my text it would look more captivating? (Maybe I should do that)
 * __What would have made your presentation more successful?__**

Being dead honest, I think I did an awesome job in using technology based materials. Martial arts can't be explained by text and words. Real action is what defines martial arts so I put in a lot of time in finding the right videos that would convey what I wanted to say. Luckily, I remembered watching a program called "Human Weapon" that was broadcasted on Discovery Channel about a year ago so I was able to find the perfect videos that explained the math and physics behind martial art techniques.
 * __How successful do you think your technology-based materials were in conveying your research?__**

Sadly, there are too many techniques for me to address individually so I decided to post only three technique analyzing videos for each country. More videos could have possibly made my technology based materials more successful.

__**What did you learn from this project? Submit any other comments after this question.**__ I learned the history of East Asian Martial Arts. Although I was already familiar with the techniques and fundamentals, I also got to know more of them and the actual physics behind them. Another thing that I learned was that although they look similar, East Asian Martial Arts actually differ a lot in many aspects. This project clearly widened my knowledge of martial arts as a whole and even added a few techniques to my own attack list.
