Thanks for your understanding guys.
And I meant what I said.
Subscribers will get a special treat with our next issue. That'll be our May June 2010. You're all going to want to be subscribed for this one, even if the issue comes a little later than newsstand. ;)
Glad you guys got your issues.
Sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for your kind words Skip J.
You can share the mag with your new students, your friends, your postal worker, anyone. Better yet, get them to subscribe. The issues might come a little late, but they'll save a a few bucks on the newsstand price, plus as you know, all subscribers get a 10% discount at MartialArtsMart. And like I said, there will be a special DVD insert, free for subscribers, in our next issue. ;)
Tai Chi in Kung Fu Tai Chi
I try to squeeze at least one tai chi article in every issue. That's really tricky for our Shaolin Specials, but I still try to manage it. I try to put add more articles on internal too, which doesn't quite count as tai chi - water boxing is an excellent example of this.
That being said, we love it when schools showcase our articles. Thanks for that, Skip J.
Thanks for subscribing, TaichiMantis!
You can call that book whatever you like, Skip J. Thanks for doing that. I hope your instructor approves.
The Kung Fu versus Tai Chi issue has always been with us. Tai Chi is more of a new age/spirituality market on the newsstands. During 2000, we made a serious effort to penetrate that market, but like you said, most were put off by Kung Fu in front of our title. We debated how to present it. There was even a lot of debate about whether our website should be KungFuMagazine.com or KungFuTaiChiMagazine.com. The latter just got to be too big of a mouthful. It's always been problematic, but what can you do?
