so in general, the answer is that there is, you just weren't looking hard enough.

earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.

There is a magazine in the UK called Traditional Karate which is what it says it is and isn't a mix of all sorts of martial arts. Go Kan Ryu do a club magazine which is a full glossy but obviously about that style. :karate:

A good read is a magazine called "classical fighting arts" a quarterly publication.

Also The journal of Asian Martial Arts is and excellent read. It is also a quarterly.

I pick them up at Borders bookstore as I get issues that interest me. I don't like to do subscriptions.

Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

Even in Japan, Karate mags are losing shelf space to activities such as golf, surfing, auto's etc. On the increase are mags devoted to mma and prowrestling. Seems to be a classic case of supply and demand.

There are plenty of karate and other martial art magazines which you can find at a well-stocked Japanese newsstand.

the December issue of Shotomag is now available on https://www.shotomag.com. You have to register to read the articles but there's no charge.

I just registered. Great start. I hope they continue. Some great articles for a free magazine. I wonder how they can make any money to stay in business...
