Thank you for reading our seventh issue!
My,
how time flies. We’ve passed the half-year mark here at The
Martialist and each issue continues to get better. Special
thanks are due this issue to Danny Rowell, who signed on as this
publication’s official proofreader in addition to his new staff writing
duties. Don’t fault Danny for any typographical errors that slip
through, however, as I do all the final editing and only I can take the
blame. It’s notoriously hard to proof your own work, so Danny’s help
is invaluable in what will always be a comedy of errors.
Once again I thank the contributors who consistently
make The Martialist worth reading. We’ll seriously consider
anything that is sent here, so if you’re throwing around an article idea,
please do feel free to send it along. If we can’t use it, we won’t,
but we like to look at everything.
Don’t forget that half of the magazine
is available for free, right here, every month. Just so you can
catch up, if you haven’t read the free content for our issues so far this
year, here are links to them:

In the column to the right you’ll see a link to this
month’s free content repeated. Below that is the listing of this
issue’s subscriber content. Each issue contains such a list
so you can see what you’re missing. We hope that if you like what
you see for free online, you’ll be intrigued by the topics covered in our
subscriber mailing. To subscribe and receive these articles each
month via e-mail, click here.
This month’s subscriber content includes some really
nice comprehensive articles on the use of force and training for it.
We also feature a review of one our sponsors’ products, the
HideAway knife
(“curvy” model), more from our featured contributors Tony Manifold and
Harvey Moul, a photo-intensive piece on eye gouges, and a philosophical
article on firearms ownership.
The free content this month includes a
long-awaited review of Coach Scott Sonnon’s Arthrokinetics series,
some editorials that have prompted accusations of traditionalism amidst
The Martialist’s devotion to pragmatic combatives, a comparative
tactical flashlight piece, and even a review of Immortal USA’s synthetic
Kung Fu training dummy.
Our goal at The Martialist is to
provide you with quality information, education, and entertainment material that will help you make choices about realistic self-defense.
You may not like everything you see, but that’s okay because I don’t agree with everything I publish from others, either.
(We encourage you to submit your own articles from different perspectives,
too.) As you will read many times in perusing our articles, the choice is yours.
Make it wisely.
