Does anyone have a kungfu magazine subscription

[GeneChing]

Y'all be needing this now: http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/subscribe.php

QD: First you don't like got qi? and now you want it in different colors? Actually we've been toying with the idea of black on white, but most martial artists prefer black. Musta been that old Chuck Norris movie, eh? And we did to a run of "got qi? stickers that we gave away for a promotional a whle back. Maybe we should do another soon.

Bolt: Right on, man! You rock! Welcome to the club!

First of all, it's Mrs. Oh. She's from Taiwan, not a writer, not in English at least. We work together on stuff. She's not a martial artist but has a keen interest in Qigong, despite always being skeptical claiming she can't feel the qi.

Our magazine was founded by Roger Hagood, then acquired soon after by Tiger Claw, who's CEO is Thomas Oh (Gigi's husband.) Our forum was founded by Steve Creel on his site Kungfu Online. It got bigger than he could afford so we worked out a deal where he became one of our webmasters and we kept the site for him. If you really want to know our history, I laid it all out in our anniversary issue, check out http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsma...yearanni1.html .

Gigi interviewed Ma Xianda and we worked together to translate the text of that interview into the article. We work together a lot on translation like this. It has been very fruitful for our publications and my onw personal research. Gigi may not practice, but she's made her living in the martial arts for years and knows the masters very well. She has a strong understanding of wude and etiquette, which gives us great penetration where others cannot go. Some say that you're not really on the CMA map in the USA until you've had lunch with Gigi.

We presented the complete interview Ma Xianda on the ezine. We presented an abridged interview in the magazine, but we also included sidebars in the magazine that were not in the ezine, like stuff about the Duan system, Ma's historical timeline, etc. Also you get more pictures in the magazine and the Chinese characters for a lot of the aphorisms and names. I'm moving more towards publishing aphorisms, couplets and chengyus in their pinyin, then their characters, then a parenthesized translation that is often bopth literal and figurative. Anyway, here's the link to the ezine article (which contains a link to ordering the back issue on line, although if you hurry, it's still on the stands now) http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/maga...hp?article=236

Thanks for subscribing Stumblefist. I look forward to your commentary and criticisms in future posts here on this forum!
