Because it is delivered free and online, the articles don't have to be popular and mainstream which ensures some of the articles are quite interesting.
It features 13 articles over 54 pages. A sample of titles includes:

- Martial Arts Scepticism: A manifesto and
- Power and Impact

It really is a great read. I also recommend all martial artists check out books and DVD;s of Sensei Abernethy. For modern day Karate Ka it will bring your Karate back to its roots, and for anyone else, the practicality issues of self defence are broken down.
