Enviroman Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Inside Kung Fu is decent. You can have it delivered for like $30/year.
tufrthanu Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Journal of Asian Martial Arts is supposedly the best...they are a quarterly. You can sometimes find them at Barnes and Noble or Schinder's, however, you may need to go to their website to order.Black Belt Magazine is probably the most widely read. The quality of the magazine itself is good however some of their content can be questionable. For instance articles about people done by their students or from someone selling a new video course.Inside Kung Fu is probably the best Chinese MA magazine out there. It's published by the same people that do Black Belt I beleive. They don't have alot other than that though.Tae Kwon Do Times is probably the sole magazine dedicated to Korean MA. Unfortunately both quality and content are questionable. However they do have good articles from time to time and Jhoon Rhee is a columnist.All of the above magazines are usually available at most book stores. Long Live the Fighters!
UseoForce Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Blackbelt mag is easily all-round best. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
BJJ is 1 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Grappling mag has the best MMa and grappling coverage "Without Jiu Jitsu its like without my two legs."-Rickson Graciehttps://www.myspace.com/cobraguard
elbows_and_knees Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I dislike all of the above except JAMA and grappling mag. An excellent CMA mag is kung fu / qi gong magazine.
DragonMike Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I agree the quality of Black Belt varies greatly. I would suggest not subscribing, but only buying it if a particular article interests you. 5th Dan Tang Soo Do
NinTai Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Journal of Asian Martial Arts is an excellent choice, mainly because thestaff are highly educated and you would be hard pressed to find any "fluff"articles (ie which is better ninjitsu vs shotokan karate)Classical Fighting Arts (formerly Dragon Times) is also another good choice.More geared towards Okinawan arts but plenty of good writers (ie Harrry Cook)CFA http://www.dragon-tsunami.org/Cfa/Pages/cfahome.htmJAMA http://www.goviamedia.com/ Too early in the morning? Get up and train.Cold and wet outside? Go train.Tired? Weary of the whole journey and longing just for a moment to stop and rest? Train. ~ Dave Lowry Why do we fall, sir? So that we may learn how to pick ourselves back up. ~ Alfred Pennyworth
UsagiYojimbo Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Before you get a subscription, you might want to check your local libraries for copies. I just did a search and found out that the university library carries JAMA. I'm definitely going to check some copies out now. Thanks for the suggestion!
