    Well done, RD. I'll give you 5 points of street cred just for that.


    RTRB: wtf are you up to?
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    Well, my main question was just how long have they been in existence, because one of the kung fu schools I'm looking at claims their master was in it in '81/82.

    Inside Kung Fu

    They were around in the 70s-before the proliferation of other publications. They helped people become more familiar with kung fu.

    Many mags can have good and bad articles and also depend on advertising. They have changed ownership and it is related to a little different marketing strategy. Gene has published there and so have some other good folks.

    Light a candle- send good articles to mags.

    I've looked at your other threads. In my opinion, from what I see in your posts, you aren't going about this "legitimacy" thing the right way. Being in a magazine doesn't guarantee that someone is good. When it comes down to it, the skill of the teacher speaks for itself.

    I know that just by being in a publication doesn't mean that a person is "legit" or good. But the fact is, it doesn't hurt. Especially if it is a well-known magazine like Kung Fu Magazine, Black Belt, etc.

    I have seen total, and well known frauds in all of those magazines.

    I believe I purchased their first issue in 1977.
