Important Notice!

From March 2003, at the request of our distributor, Dragon Times will evolve into a regular magazine format publication called Classical Fighting Arts which will allow it to be more widely distributed. The publisher, writers, and design team will be the same. All paid subscriptions to Dragon Times will be honored in full, and existing subscribers need do nothing, they will simply receive Classical Fighting Arts instead of Dragon Times from April this year.
Dragon Times currently has the second largest readership in the U.S. and we hope that the change to a more upmarket format will help us grow even more. We feel we have the very best writers in the business and welcome the opportunity to give their work greater exposure.

The first issue of Classical Fighting Arts magazine will include the following articles:
• The Truth about Taekwondo (Part 3) by Robert Dohrenwend Ph.D.
• First Day Covers-The Makiwara Stampby Charles Goodin MM JD
• Okinawa Kata Classificationby Mario McKenna MSc
• A Meeting with Chosei Motobu by Graham Noble BSc
• Notes on Basai Kata by Harry Cook BA

• Successful - Classical Fighting Arts is America's fastest growing martial arts publication because of the quality of its writers and its content. It does not have lurid headlines, nor does it make make sensational claims. If you are really " in to" martial arts, our publication is your natural choice.

• Traditional but Progressive -
While Classical Fighting Arts is principally dedicated to the martial arts of Japan, China, and the Okinawan Archipelago, we are open- minded to the extent that we often publish articles on related subjects from outside our area of specialization. From time to time therefore you will find within our covers material on Boxe Francaise-Savate, Thai Boxing, English Prize Fighting, European Fencing, and other legitimate martial arts.
• Widely Available - Every branch of Borders Books and Music will carry Classical Fighting Arts as will Barnes & Noble, Tower Records, and Hastings Entertainment. In Canada CFA is distributed by Gordon & Gotch, in the U.K. by the Seijinkai, and in Australia by the Zen Imports/Martial Arts World organization.
