Shotokan Karate Magazine has been published since November 1984. The Editor, John Cheetham 4th Dan JKA has been training in Shotokan Karate-Do since 1972. SKM is a very specialised and Traditional magazine (not just the churned out usual Martial Arts editorial we so often see) published each quarter JAN-APR-JUL-OCT as opposed to monthly. SKM prides itself on featuring the most senior and famous Shotokan Sensei’s in the world in the magazine and it is totally non-political, it features everyone from all the various organisations.
The main themes are In-depth interviews – Technical articles – History of Traditional Karate – Lots of information on courses and seminars etc. Technical reports on Training courses with top instructors and of course all related Shotokan news, new books, videos etc. I think you will find S.K.M. a very different magazine, totally dedicated to Traditional Karate-Do. Although the magazine is not commercial enough to be sold through the newstrade, they have built a large following around the world through personal subscriptions.
