| Published since 1996, Rapid Journal is the only martial arts journal from the Philippines. Through the years it has maintained its standard by providing quality materials on the Filipino martial artist and his practice. With topics ranging from the internal arts of Chinese martial arts, to the exotic arts of Pencak Silat, it also places much emphasis on the indigenous martial arts found in the Philippines. Over the years, it has published articles which have made its mark in Filipino martial arts writing such as the works of Felipe ‘Bot’ Jocano, Jr.’s “Arnis: A Question of Origins”; Pedro Reyes’, “Filipino Martial Tradition”, and Ned R. Nepangue’s, “Cebuano Eskrima”, to name just a few. |
