Magazines

With all the various magazines out there on martial arts which do you read if any??
i get MAI every month and read most things in it and look at various articals in each edition. I used to get combat to but i have not read that for a while but may every so often

obviously i support mai lol :-)

Reading magazines is ok for a few years but after a while they just get boring, a load of self publicising guys who just want their pictures in there.
Or am I jealous?
Let's face it they fill a need, someone new wants to know about martial arts - they go and read about it.
Maybe if they came on here they would learn more, or at least become discriminating.

I read MAI, Combat, Blackbelt and Inside Kung Fu ( latter 2 American )

I enjoy them all but I think the British mags are moving into the American style of journalism. Combat was king in the 80's and early 90's in my opinion.

to many are becoming to americanized i think

just done an interview with larry tatum for mai , will be may's i think , the magazine's will move with the popular times , as without sales there is no magazine , it is true that they have become americanised , i have written for most of them at one time or another , and they apeal to different groups of artists , some mag's are considerd hardcore , some not so , my opinion is that i use them for the intended purpose , entertainment and keeping up with whats on .
