	Dragon Times Issue No. 23 From the Library Journal, New York, Spring, 2000. “Dragon Times is a journal for the serious martial arts enthusiast [its] newspaper format eschews gloss and trends to focus on the history and philosophy of martial arts. It is filled with in-depth, accurate articles about the many aspects of the martial arts. Dragon Times relies on prominent instructors in the field to provide articles and information backed by expertise and knowledge. The publication will benefit most those who have a base knowledge of the martial arts. Recommended for any library where a serious interest exists." Michael Colford, MA.

Important Notice! From March 2003, at the request of our distributor, Dragon Times will evolve into a regular magazine format publication called Classical Fighting Arts which will allow it to be more widely distributed. The publisher, writers, and design team will be the same. All paid subscriptions to Dragon Times will be honored in full, and existing subscribers need do nothing, they will simply receive Classical Fighting Arts instead of Dragon Times from March this year. Dragon Times currently has the second largest readership in the U.S. and we hope that the change to a more upmarket format will help us grow even more. We feel we have the very best writers in the business and welcome the opportunity to give their work greater exposure.
