Contents of Classical Fighting Arts Issue #23

Classical Fighting Arts magazine is a highly respected quarterly journal that publishes well-researched, historically and technically significant material that is widely regarded as the most valuable English language reference to Asian martial arts.

Our contributing editors—the very best in their respective fields—produce work of the highest quality, that is frequently cited by other writers and researchers, and widely admired by the legitimate martial arts community.

 Uniquely for a journal with such a strong academic pedigree, our publishing format is modern, graphic, and full color. Supported by a vast image library established in 1968, the acquisition of new images is an ongoing task that involves professional photographers, using the latest equipment from Leica, Haselblad, Zeiss, Rodenstock, Schneider, and Nikon.

 Perhaps our greatest martial arts resource is the technical committee that supports and overseas our work. This group includes some of the most famous and talented martial arts instructors including three designated; “Living Intangible Cultural Treasures” by the Japanese government.

 Each back issue of CFA is filled with factual, interesting, immensely readable material on the martial arts of Japan, China, and the Okinawan Archipelago. Combined, they form a library of enormous value to the serious martial arts practitioner.
