Karate Magazines

[Kyonovice]

Hi all,

Quick question (not sure if this is the right place, or the martial arts entertainment section is). Can anyone recommend and decent Karate magazines? Here in the UK we used to have loads of martial art mags, MAI, Traditional Karate Magazine, Black Belt International and Combat to name a few however they appear to have mostly faded away (I think MAI is still in publication). I know there is a Shotokan specific magazine which was very useful when I studied Shotokan and had some great articles in it, but that is all I can think of.

With the technology boom I think most of them are online now...and I can't think of any others than what you already mentioned here.

Classical Fighting Arts was (is?) a high quality print magazine. I haven't purchased an issue in a few years and I haven't seen it in my local bookstore in awhile. After the demise of the Journal of Asian Martial Arts I thought it was the best around. Also, if you can get your hands on old copies of Budo Dojo published in the 90s to the early 2000s there are some gems in there.
