Let me tell you about Jissen!
As many of you will know "Jissen" is Japanese for "actual combat"
or "real fighting". It's also the name of a FREE quarterly online magazine
dedicated to serving all martial artists that approach the traditional
martial arts from their original combative perspective. If that
sounds like you, then you should enjoy what this publication has
to offer!
We'll be bringing you the very best
in practical martial arts, no nonsense training methods, self-protection,
kata application, physical conditioning, news and more! Jissen
will be published quarterly and is completely free of charge! It
exists entirely to facilitate the spread of information between
pragmatic martial artists.
As well as providing you with quality
information from established leaders in this field of study, we
also hope to provide a platform for the less well known martial
artist who nevertheless has plenty to share. Everyone is encouraged
to contribute. It does not matter what grade you hold or how well
known you are. To contribute to future editions, all you need to
do is to send us well written articles containing well thought through
ideas and information.
Jissen
is also free to distribute! If you want to use Jissen
as an attraction for your own website, you have our permission to
make it available for download. Want to print it off and distribute
the magazine to your students? That's totally OK too! So long as
you're not charging people for it, we are totally happy for you
to make use of this magazine in whatever way works for you!
It is hoped that Jissen
will become the central publication for a strong community of pragmatic
traditionalists and will be instrumental in a return to the core
values and practises of the traditional arts.
