What do you mean the cover story is leaked? On purpose?

I posted poorly. By cover story, I meant who's on the cover - who the cover story is about.

We like to release our cover image on the same day that the issue is scheduled to hit the newsstands, even though for a niche publisher like us, the street date has little meaning. The street date for this issue is 12/7/2010. However, at the last moment of our pre-Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotion development, we added this issue as an extra premium when you buy the new dagger master kit. So the cover leaked early.

We actually had this happen before with our Sep Oct 2010. That one was slightly intentional. Our freelance contributor Violet Li announced our first full-color regular issue in her blog for examiner.com. I allowed her to get the jump on our issue release.

I received my Jan/Feb issue last week and enjoy it very much. Now in full color, it's really nice.

The Chinese Daggers is an excellent article and provides much information. The Chinese Dagger Master Kit is a great gift item. William Oh's article Dongyuen Tai Chi and John Page's Xin Yi Dao gives readers good information on new styles.

There's Nothing Like Kicking Someone in the Head - HIPS DON"T LIE- by Lem Festeris - you'll get a kick out of this one LOL.

All in all another great Issue.

This morning , I was watching the DVD - Tiger Calw's Kung Fu Championship June 2010 - that came with an earlier issue that Tiger/Claw provided free to subscribers and have to say " Thank You Gene Ching, Gigi Oh, and all at Tiger/Claw" fantastic, a great reward. For those of you that missed this, sign up and get it in 2011.

The Tiger/Claw Kung Fu Championships are going up- up and away. Watch them grow.
