It took a little doing, but I managed to find what may just be the last issue of IKF.

Thirty years ago, this was the most important magazine in the world to me, closely followed by Black Belt, and all the other rags at the time.

This issue falls far from where Kung Fu Magazine is today.

I don't want to go into an extended review. Suffice to say that there is not much here other than large ads for the Beckett Media line, a few Bruce Lee items, an article on martial arts games, and several offers to "subscribe".

It's a shame that Inside Kung Fu is gone, but some would argue that it died a long time ago.

A toast to icons past and present, to Jane Hallander, Dave Cater, and all the rest of the contributors who informed, educated, and entertained me...
