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.

welcome to the group, Thomas. I checked out your site...looks interesting. Do you plan to have some techniques you show on the magazine to be on your site? I don't care much about guns but have been interested in the actual hand to hand combat military style.

| Thomas, good job on the combative magazine. Welcome to MartialWeb! Please, don't be shy to post! LOL

| I am going to eventually have an electronic version of the magazine available in a pdf file. As for my background, you can visit my combatives website at www.counterassaulttactics.com. I have a special offer that was running for the magazine, that unfortunately, I did not get posted here on time. the original offer was- If you have seen my postings on other forums, you will have seen that Pay pal shut down my magazine credit card account for giving away a pistol as part of a sweepstakes back in mid march. I got up and running quickly, but since that time sales have slackened. Starting today, to bolster sales, the next 100 people who subscribe will receive a 24-month subscription for the price of a 12-month subscription. Just go to the website ( www.combativesmag.com), purchase a years subscription, and I will e-mail you a confirmation receipt stating that your purchase is good for a 24-month subscription. I realize that some people are hesitant to to make a purchase from a new business venture. For the next 100 subscribers, I will refund the entire purchase price to you if I am unable, for any reason, to keep the magazine viable during that 24-month period. My name, reputation across the past 25 years in the arts, and word as an instructor go behind that promise. Thomas Well, in three days I've sold my last of the 100 subscriptions. I appreciate those who jumped on board. I have had a number of people e-mail me, not wanting to miss this subscription deal, but not getting paid until this weekend. I will extend the double subscription deal (receive a 24-month subscription for the price of a 12-month subscription) through Sunday night at mid-night. I hope this gives you the opportunity to join us while this offer still stands. Thanks for allowing me on the forum and I hope you join us! Thomas

| Thomas, good job on the magazine. Although I was a bit surprised too with having a prize as a gun! Why not replace it with a escrima stick? LOL.

I set an initial goal to reach 2000 subscribers for JOMC. Things have gone pretty well, and we are almost to that goal (at 3000 subscribers we will move to a pressed magazine-I can't wait).
I realize that those of you who have subscribed (a little over 1750 subscribers) did it blindly or based on the word of someone else. I have decided to release the March 2006 issue, free to everyone who wants it, as a pdf. file. You can view it or print it by visiting our website (google- Journal of Modern Combatives) and clicking on "free issue" on the menu. I ask 2 things, first if you like it, subscribe. Second, let me know what you think (I appreciate honesty) by e-mailing the address on the free issue page.
To further reach the goal, I will extend the 2-for-1 deal until Sunday, May 7th, 2006. Those who subscribe will receive a 24-month subscription for the price of a 12-month subscription. Just go to the website, purchase a years subscription, and I will e-mail you a confirmation receipt stating that your purchase is good for a 24-month subscription. This is the same deal I offered in an earlier post. Additionally, you will be automatically entered into our sweepstakes for a chance at the new Springfield XD in .45 ACP (or a cash prize if you live in a NPE), plus other great prizes including training vouchers, complete firearms libraries, and tactical knives.
I appreciate your support and patronage!
