Shihan Kenji Yamaki in May2011 Black Belt Magazine

[gotapex]

My teacher was just featured on the cover of the 50th anniversary collector's edition of Black Belt Magazine (May 2011). They have a pretty good article on him.

Contributing Editor Mark Check says he's one of the most powerful and precise strikers he's ever seen, a fighting phenom.



The mags are getting hard to find, since it's a collector's edition, but it's worth looking for.

Osu!

Thanks I will check around.

I might actually make an effort to get this issue but have given up on black belt.

I know for a fact some of the articles in the magazine are paid for by the people the articles are about. I don't know how often this happens but when I found this out it made a lot of sense why the magazine features some major bullshit at times, these days.

The old black belt magazines were much better then the ones in the last 20 years.
Osu!

For what it's worth, I don't believe Shihan Yamaki paid for this article.

I don't neither and should gave said that and why I'll make an effort to buy this issue.
Osu!
