    The reason that I no longer subscribe that magazine because there are too much:

    - Wushu stuff.

    I believe I purchased their first issue in 1977.

    There are two types of Chinese martial artists. Those who can fight and those who should be teaching dance or yoga!

    53 years of training, 43 years of teaching and still aiming for perfection!

    Recovering Forms Junkie! Even my twelve step program has four roads!

    Ok, I just got confirmation from another independant source...

    ...looking for more. Still nothing official.

    This could be a game-changer.

    I love Kung Fu Magazine. But still, IKF going down? That does rather suck.
    Yes, "Northwind" is my internet alias used for years that has lots to do with my main style, as well as other lil cool things - it just works. Wanna know my name? Ask me

    A sign of the times. Should help KFM stay afloat, this is happening across the board in the business sector. Tough times.

    Greetings,

    Dave Cater was my reason for my exodus from IKF. He destroyed it with controversy.

    I began missing the early years of IKF a long time ago. I remember walking over 2 miles to find an IKF magazine in 1983. That was how much I loved it.

    I do not miss what it has become.

    The only decent thing they can do now is put it all on cd-rom.

    Good Riddance,


    mickey

    Agree with you 100% there. I can't remember how many times that I tried to hide away from him in CMA tournaments. He always asked me, "Are you going to response to that article?"

    i agree

    what i like about kfm is they are consistent ( and im not sucking up to try to get a free subscription lol )

    ikf and black belt changed themselves around too much for my liking

    I am pork boy, the breakfast monkey.

    left leg: mild bruising. right leg: charley horse

    handsomerest member of KFM forum hands down

    I still love the old '70s and and early to mid 80s issues of IKF. I have a large collection of them and they have some truly excellent articles...
