Introducing -<br />
Ron Goninan<br />
Editor.<br />
So why add yet ‘another Martial Arts Magazine’ into<br />
the mix? Well we at “Tao Martial Arts & Lifestyle”<br />
see what we offer as less a “Magazine” and more of<br />
a service towards the Martial Arts and by Martial<br />
Arts we mean Martial with an emphases on<br />
“ARTS!” … and not just Martial Arts but the very<br />
important Holistic Arts such as Yoga, Acupuncture/<br />
Acupressure,<br />
Massage therapies, Reiki,<br />
Seichim, Shiatsu, Tui-na, Sound Healing, Energy<br />
Healing … in fact anything that has a natural<br />
benefit to us in everyday life and living!<br />
With the recent death of the UK’s “Martial Arts Illustrated”<br />
Magazine and the demise of “Blitz Publications”<br />
and its Multi-Media Group which went into<br />
liquidation on the 1st of March <strong>2018</strong> as reported by<br />
the Australian Securities and Investments Commission,<br />
there is no doubt that the Print Media for Martial<br />
Arts is on the decline.<br />
Other Martial Arts Magazines are also doing it tough<br />
with “Kungfu Tai Chi Magazine” moving to being<br />
published quarterly also due to the dwindling of the<br />
Martial Arts Print Media at the news-stands.<br />
We aim to service, promote, propagate and promote<br />
the Martial Arts / Holistic Arts on all levels<br />
making us less of a “Magazine” and more of a way<br />
forward for those who hold these arts near and dear<br />
to their collective hearts and minds!<br />
This, the 1st issue is free to give you a “feel” for the<br />
type of service we aim to offer.<br />
As it stands, we are the only Martial Arts Magazine<br />
operating in Australia at this current time and we<br />
hope that with your on-going help, support and contributions,<br />
that we can expand this very special service<br />
to a wider worldwide audience.<br />
We seek to bring back a real sense of balance, of<br />
Tao (the Way) to the wider Martial Arts & Lifestyle<br />
World.<br />
In this issue you will read about Martial Arts & Lifestyle<br />
Pioneers.<br />
We also aim at providing you with a great variety<br />
and viewpoint of the Martial Arts World by not continually<br />
re-hashing the same people over and over<br />
each issue as some of our forbearers have done ad<br />
nauseam. Nor will we make this a “puff-piece” fea-<br />
