A New Integrated Combatives Magazine

Thomas Rogers — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 04:02:30 GMT

Martial Web subscribers,

My Name is Thomas Rogers. I am the owner of Counter Assault Tactics, an Ohio-based, personal protection training company. I have always wanted to have access to a magazine that dealt with real-world personal protection. Everything from psychology and unarmed combatives to tactical firearms. Since I have not seen one, I followed the old adage, "if you want something done, you have to do it yourself." While there are several online journals/newsletters, there is something about reading a magazine that I've always liked. So....

I am proud to announce the creation of a new print magazine- the Journal of Modern Combatives. The JOMC presents an open-minded approach to all things combative. Our readers will be treated to authors like- Gabe Suarez, Tom Givens, Marc "Crafty Dog" Denny, Moni Aizik, Bill Kipp, Peyton Quinn, Steve Krystek, Glenn Zwiers, Richard Dimitri, David Hallford, Ernest Emerson, John Hall with Kid Escape!, Phil Messina, and Liz Kennedy with AWSDA, just to name a few. With relevant topics that will appeal to a wide audience, from citizen to tactical operator, everyone will find something of value in our pages. I invite you to become a subscriber. You can access an overview, subscription rates and advertising rates online. You can purchase single issues or a 12-month subscription from the order page.

I am also excited to announce that JOMC is holding a sweepstakes. The next 500 subscribers will recieve an aluminum kubaton keychain with their paid subscription and be entered into a drawing for some exceptionally cool prizes such as-

One Grand Prize- Springfield's new XD .45 ACP! (I love my Glock 21, but this gun is almost as sweet!)

Two First Prizes- Training vouchers for classes/seminars (up to $375.00) from your choice of 4 great training institutions!

Two Second Prizes- Gabe Suarez's entire library (2 DVD's/10 Books) autographed by Gabe!

Two Third Prizes- An Emerson Knife! Great for daily carry or your collection!

Visit the website at http://www.combativesmag.com for details and complete rules. No purchase necessary to enter the sweepstakes and odds of winning based on the total number of entries. All new subscriptions from the past 90 days automatically entered into the drawing. Good Luck!

Thank you for your patronage,

Thomas

P.S.- I am always looking for quality authors (e-mail your ideas) and I would love to know what you would like to see in a integrated combatives magazine.

hi there guys and girls i am a new ju jitsu trainee from melbouirne and as you know we like to say "mate" alot the reason why i have come into these forums is to discuss the relationships with spiritual and phisical and i know that phisical protection is the most important than spiritual protection phisical is reality and phisical is just the most important to work on and we all need that protection within ourselves to live in a free world without people pushing us around and bullying us we must be protected..anyways tell me about yourselves i am a junior belt almost in ju jitsu 1st kyu, not yet i am still a whitey belt

but i hope to get some more and more training due to my training abilities and what i am good at kicking punching and etc. people will pick on any one of us and i feel its best to get prepared for that so keep it strong. so tell em about yourselves thanks call me jon by the way;)

Hi - I'm here to supply the Kempo, Aikido, Qi Gong, Tai Chi and Yoga perspective. I also have a great love of Kenjustu, though I am just starting to learn. I have been learning the arts since 2000, and am always facinated at how seemingly unrelated disciplines and tactics are always connected, if not the exact same thing.
