The journal started in 1979 as an attempt to add to the scholarly studies of martial arts with contributions from yogis, Sartre-mopers, Art Bell listeners and chiropodists.

The First JISMA
I hesitate to dip my toe in the martial arts waters again, but I have to share this find from the San Marcos Goodwill store. It the first ever issue of the Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies in the Martial Arts (JISMA). They chose the acronym, not me.
Although the journal promised semi-annual publication on its subscription card, it appeared to have trouble finding worthwhile contributions. This letter from the JISMA editor was inside the edition I found. Was the mysterious Mr. Kim able to save JISMA? Maybe some of my readers battling it out in my Lin Kong Jing post can help me out.

Seriously? The editor of JISMA is Mr. Glanz?? That sure tickles my soft-hard dichotomy.
P.S. I am not a twelve-year-old boy.
lazymf, that you are Lazy and unimaginative. Do your OWN research. That which is given is not respected. That which is worked for and earned has far more value. Give a man a
Big Mac, and you will have an obese diabetic at your table for life; teach them to go forth and make their own food, and how manage their portions, and you will have saved a life from the disgusting consequences of fast junk-food addiction. You are beating a dead horse when you spoke of ling kong jing, that was a '90s sort of thing. Flash in the pan, more for psychological than physiological effect. Get a life dude.
