Iaido: From the Archives

In the February 2007 issue of Black Belt, Russell McCartney advised readers attending sword shows. In this Cutting Edge column from March 2007, he concludes his advice.

If I like Black Belt I'll pay $29 for a full year (12 issues). If I'm not satisfied, I'll return the bill marked "cancel" and owe nothing. The cancellation is effective immediately and any trial issues I receive are mine to keep free.
