Welcome to our second issue. We have had to rebrand following a currently unresolved hacking! But enough about that. Let's move forward with this great new issue. We are very pleased to include two articles from our favourite author, Mike Clark - The Watching Tree, and Don't be a Frog; Master Marco introduces IMBA to WA; Fight Spur join us from Singapore; Rod Power talks of his upcoming movie release - Hard Ride; Brian Chambers sits down and talks to Shihan Tomiyama; Sam Sujanta is on our cover and shares part II of his Tai Chi series; Al Ghoniem tells us about the heartfelt significance of Seventy Lashes; Sensei Don Godwin returns with part II of Early Shukokai training; Maria Francis, yoga teacher and author, shares her favourite poses for MA; Duncan Mitchell talks about finding Aikido and himself; Andy Kent tells us how Karate Saved his Life following a motorcycle accident in Cambodia (both of these are remarkable stories of recovery); Grant Brechney joins us with his article on The Place of Traditional Karate-do in the Modern Martial Arts Landscape; Don't miss part two of Daniel Fellow's Possibilities; South West Go Ju-Ryu report on their recent Women and Girls in Martial Arts Workshop (this is definitely one to put in the calendar for next year!)
