The publisher seeks to provide accurate writings by leading authorities. In so doing, the journal is devoted to studies that offer a better understanding of the cultures from which martial arts arose and in which they continue to thrive. Therefore, we hope the material provided in each issue will be entertaining as well as offer insights and practical information useful for today's readers.
Articles flow smoothly in consecutive pages, without being interrupted by advertising.
These three types of materials are organized in separate sections of the journal. In order to ensure the quality of all submissions in terms of scholarship as well as writing, each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of our editorial board. We look forward to making the journal accessible to all readers while establishing and maintaining a high quality of scholarship, writing, and graphics. Entwined, they represent the balanced characteristics necessary for individual and social well-being. Viewed in this perspective, the field of Asian martial arts covers a broad range of interrelated concerns.
