The magazine covers virtually all martial arts and fighting styles that have a national or international following, including judo, taekwondo, hapkido, karate, kung fu, jiu jitsu, aikido and other disciplines. Articles focus on fighting techniques and martial arts personalities, both young and old. Black Belt emphasizes self-defense systems, including military combat and police force self-defense maneuvers. It pays scant attention to Olympics-level athletes or Olympics competition in judo, taekwondo, wrestling, and boxing, but emphasizes commercially promoted mixed martial-arts competitions and their major fighters. * Black Belt magazine
