Journal of Asian Martial Arts/ a book and finale
The Journal of Asian Martial Arts has been a premiere and well produced quality journal. Unfortunately, the print world faces rough economic times. As a finale the Journal is coming out soon in September
with a 200 page well produced book(the book includes two articles with photos on selected wing chun applications)
The book also contains major articles on several different Chinese, Japanese, Korean and SE Asian martial arts.

-------------------------------

Pre publication blurb by the publisher:



Just to let you know that materials are at the printer now. Ship date is September 28.

Some Comments on the New Book

"The Journal of Asian Martial Arts has been an important beacon of reason and class. In succession, this new book appears to be a slam-dunk hit."
G. Cameron Hurst, III, Ph.D. (Professor Emeritus of Japanese and Korean Studies, University of Pennsylvania)

"I have always recognized the Journal of Asian Martial Arts
[JAMA] as a source of highly refined articles and content. It has long been exemplary of quality and authenticity in the
martial arts world. I am happy to see JAMA finish on a strong note and with great support for this book. I hope that JAMA's legacy will last for many more generations to come."
Yang Jwing-ming, Ph.D. (President, YMAA International)

"The greatest compliment I can pay to any book is to recommend it. ... I heartily recommend this to all. Enjoy!"

This is a shame--there's no other journal or magazine that does what it did. It's a loss to the martial arts community but sadly not a surprise in this climate for publishing.

I'm sorry but not surprised to hear this. JAMA has made a unique contribution to the martial arts community with it's quality and depth.

I have copies dating back to 1999 that I can still pick up and get value at of them. It's like a good kata, it just keeps giving.
But sadly, no more........................ :asian:

I really like the journal great quality writers.
At times very scholarly and a bit to digest.
It would be cool if it became an online journal.
