The Journal of Asian Martial Arts (JAMA) was a quarterly magazine published by Via Media Publishing Company that covered various aspects of martial arts from Asia but also included material from other parts of the world. The magazine had its headquarters in Santa Fe It ceased publication in 2012, ending with a final book entitled "Asian Martial Arts".
Before the streamlined Teachable courses, Master Stephen Hwa with assistance from Jim Roach, Tom Kostusiak and Ike Schultz made a series of DVD. One of the DVD was called "The Tao of Martial Applications". Attached is a DVD review by the now defunct Journal of Asian Martial Arts.
