Black Belt Magazine is a publication within the book and periodical publishing industry that centers on self-defense and martial arts, spanning both classical traditions and modern eclectic approaches. Based in Los Angeles, California, the magazine traces its origins to 1961 when it was first published. It serves readers who seek interviews with renowned martial artists, historical explorations of combat philosophies, and in-depth reporting on techniques, weapons, self-defense systems, training regimens, and industry trends. Operating with a relatively small to mid-sized team, the publication has extended beyond print to digital formats and online engagement, including newsletters and online martial arts courses, supported by a growing social media presence. In early 2023, Black Belt launched a subscription app called Black Belt+ that provides exclusive content alongside the regular magazine.
