But anyone who wants to write for us is welcome to step up to the plate. Here's our submission guidelines. On a related note, I've already been contacted by a few former IKF writers. Still no word from Taboo or Fergie...or Lady Gaga for that matter.

Gene,
I for one wold like to see much more San Shou and Kuo Shou coverage in KFM, especially those who cross over into MMA.
Just looked at the E-zine titles, and had to go back 3 pages till I found one Cung Lee article.
If the MMA magz are selling like hotcakes, you could easily compete with them, and draw in some of thier readers with focus corners on Ross's gym, and others who are heavy into Kuo shou. This is especially if you can highlight Kung Fu fighters who have MMA wins.
It could be a big thing for you.
With IKF gone, you personally are the Icon now. There is no one else.

Don't you people learn anything from this forum?
Seriously though, the MMA arena isn't really our demographic. We'll cover it now and again, but there's no way Kung Fu Tai Chi can really enter that market unless there's a significant amount of kung fu champions to emerge in the ring. It's different advertisers, different readers, different reporters - a different demographic entirely.
I'm going to an MMA fight next weekend. When I go to these, I hang with the rest of the press, which is predominantly MMA bloggers and reporters. So I know many in that industry and it's just a different ball game entirely. For us, it would be a total mistake to go too deeply into MMA. We'd forsake our readership, our freelancers, and our mission, and be up against some serious competition on the newsstands. It'd be like a taiji master jumping in the cage - total suicide. Imagine that.

The point is to cover more traditional fighters in Kuo Shou and Sanda/San Shao as well as traditional fighters who enter MMA.
Don't cover MMA per say, cover Chinese martial artist and thier fights in MMA as well as our regular venues. It can even be a low level amature fighter winning in a recent local competition. Heck, just cover any results.

To be frank, there isn't that much to cover. The sanshou guys don't send us reports (and when they do, it's often pretty weak reporting). I cover what I can personally. There's an article on Cung in our upcoming issue. We've covered Wulin Feng and Sandawang in China, but sadly, sanshou is on the decline.
