The magazine has been published since November 1984. Because it is a very specialised and Traditional magazine we only publish each quarter MAR-JUNE-SEPT-DEC as opposed to monthly. I feel this way it gives me time to try and make a good job of each edition
Shotokan Karate Magazine Issue 166 is out now! Featuring Nikos Afentoulis 6th Dan JKA-WF from Rhodes, plus articles by Albert Cheah and others on adapting training and traditional karate principles.
