Figured I'd plug this magazine - http://www.wmaillustrated.com/ . Professional quality articles and production values, i.e. closer to the "Journal of Asian Martial Arts" than to "Black Belt".

Upcoming articles include:

• distinctive counters of the English longsword, by Ben Roberts;

• Venezuelan machete fighting, by Prof. Bruno Cruicchi;

• Thomas Page's principles for single broadsword, by Christopher Scott Thompson;

• Renaissance pike drill, by Bill Elder;

• backsword versus smallsword, by Dr. Milo Thurston;

• the montante (the Iberian greatsword), by Eric Myers, et al;

• Paulus Hector Mair's scythe, by Szabolcs Waldmann;

• the traditional Sicilian fighting system, by Antonio Merendoni;

• American catch wrestling, by Dr. Les Moore;

• the wrestling of Master Ott the Jew, by Jessica Finley;

• an overview of pre-20th century American fighting arts, by Pete Kautz

• Hutton and Castle's historical fencing work, by Tony Wolf.

Very cool! I wonder if I can use my pseudocelebrity status to get a complimentary subscription.

For, you know, research.

Is Scott still publishing this? I haven't seen one in forever. When they come out they are great.

I'd like to finally see a write-up of Guy's take on posta de bicornio - I *think* it's pretty close to what we've worked out but until I see it...
