This would be a good place to mention what kind of articles kung fu magazine is interested in. I know that there are a few writers on here myself included. I will be appearing in the July issue of blackbelt and I have a few works in progress.

One of them is an ongoing interview with Master James Sun of 8 Step Praying Mantis Kung Fu. The interview is very diverse and covers many topics. It's not a shameless promotion piece.

anyway, let us know what your looking for.

We are looking for everything non fictional. Please don't send us any more cartoons or original poetry. If you look at our writer's guide, (click the 'write for kfm' at the bottom of our home page) there are some suggestions. The best thing to do is pitch us your idea, and we can work with you to make it fit our mutual needs.

people actually send fiction?

I punch you
You punch me
You hit my kidney
and blood do I pee.

I lock up your joint
screaming, you frantically tap
but it is a mute point
because your bones will soon snap.


Hai Ku
Eagle claw to nuts
begging for mercy he grips
pain swells and I pass out

well I have all summer to write. I'll see what I can do.

Sure we get fiction. Just look at half the posts on this forum ;) Seriously, we do get a lot of fiction, bad poetry, comics, and low budget videos. Sometimes it can be really amusing.

BTW, your poems (which I have now read twice, thank you) seems fixated on pee, bones and nuts. Did I tell you I studied Freudian psychology for a while? Is there any other poems you would like to share with us?
:p

But you asked for it


Grappling poetry

in a tangled mass
we grapple, hoping of course
that no one sports wood......(That one was just for you Sigmund) :)


In vietnam I bought a jackrabbit
that taught me Tae Kwan Do
I had my coke habbit
and he had a 6 inch fro.

He taught me every day
in the swelterning jungles of nam
and though I had no money
I gave him military spam

We kicked around each sunday
while all the villagers were in church
and on a post he stood me
like a crane upon its perch

He had me balance there,
without letting me go
but after 15 minutes of persistance
I became the master of chung moo do.
