Founded
April 16, 2008

This group is here to openly discuss and practice the martial arts. I invite you to meet others with a different background and experience than you. Some of the seminars and classes are geared to students with less exposure to martial arts and those who shy away from full contact; other times are for hardcore, hardened and knowledgeable, practitioners.

But martial arts is more than fighting. The martial artist cares for the body, thought processes, knowledge, and yes, NOT fighting. I am inviting experts in nutrition, chiropractic care, exercise, and conflict management to help you meet your goals.

Everyone can participate regularly in the free classes. Classes are not ALWAYS free but these classes will help you decide where to best invest your money and time for improving yourself and help to get a new training method started. Teachers are encouraged to offer seminars and test their ideas in our meetings. Teachers and students may discover that the status quo is best... or not. You are invited; come ready to train!
