Not a hand grenade-just a dud.

If anyone's curious about the Tin Yan dei structure/5-line theory seen on the posters in the promo vid actually works... DON'T WATCH THE VIDEOS!!

What a mess.

And by "grenade" obviously what Gene means is the "Jersey Shore" / urbandictionary.com definition -

the fat girl that needs to get laid before anyone else in the room gets action

Commerce.

Just like every media platform, we must cater to our advertisers. When another style can bring us some income, I will welcome them.

Then why not switch to a mostly MMA focused format? That's where the money is right now.

At least till ninjitsu makes a comeback in 2015.

Well, there's actually a glut of MMA mags out there right now. There are a lot of small start-ups giving start-up MMA companies the promise of eyeballs, but they aren't really getting that much distribution and for some, the bubble has already burst. Our main advertiser, MartialArtMart.com, caters to a lot of different styles, including MMA, but with so many small start-ups, there isn't a big enough market share to justify going that direction. Our company, TC Media Intl, has published magazines dedicated to the other styles previously (Dojo, Dojang, World of Martial Arts) but none of those proved as successful as Kung Fu Tai Chi. In short, we've found our niche on the newsstands. I hope you all understand.

As for ninjas, they don't advertise. They are ninjas.

The MMA journalism field is already fairly crowded.Even the old Black Belt mag is heavy with mma.
material. With the demise of JAMA and Inside Kung Fu..- Kung Fu mag still has a market.

Masta Ken Said : "Stop Ninjutstu".

Wise man.

Haha. In this instance, I took "grenade" to be more akin to a turd with a lit M-80 stuffed into it..

After seeing the number of views jump a thousandfold for the new KFM Black Flag vid, all I know is I need to make me a Shaolin Black Flag Wing Chun video. Cheese and rice is it getting viewed.

Benny Meng's ship has flown many flags. Not too long ago- one of them was for Garrett Gee
and HFY.
