This information doesn't appear in the PDF of the rules, but is a record of what changed when and why, so that we can remember that yes, madus were banned between 2013 and 2015, but they are allowed now. It helps future us understand why a rule change was made if we ever think about changing it again.		<P> Changes of note will also be noted in the Notes tab linked at the top of the Chapter.

	:Some information should be the same for all martial forms. However, previous handbooks referenced other handbooks and version control created issues and unnecessary differences.
