Ideally your article should:
- be based in intermediate or advanced understanding of your martial art or other practice
- delve deeply into a single subject rather than skimming the surface of multiple subjects
- contain material more comprehensive than just techniques or descriptions of your art
- conform to the principles of Martial Virtue, including respect, compassion, humility, and honesty
- be 2500 to a maximum of 3000 words
Your article should avoid:
- defamatory statements concerning other martial arts
- self-aggrandizing content, either personal or more generally about one's own art
- readily available basic information found in other magazines
- any illegal or abusive content, inciting hate or racism etc.
