SMAF, now in its 11th year, is one of the premiere non-competitive events in the northeastern United States. SMAF brings together senior-level instructors from the widest possible range of styles to teach on the widest possible range of subjects. In short, SMAF offers its participants an unparalleled opportunity to explore a magnificent range of martial arts subjects.
Open to all ranks and experience levels, SMAF offers something for everyone. In fact, our philosophy is Bai Liu Ha Yi, which means “100 styles flow into one.” “Styles” might not even be the right term because the core premise at SMAF is that all martial arts build on the same principles. While we want to showcase different styles, we also want to remember that every style is just a system designed to shape martial arts into a given context. Styles are useful but it call comes down to martial arts in the end.
On the schedule page, you’ll see the SMAF schedule.
You get to choose the workshops you want to attend
in each timeslot. As always at SMAF, there’s bad news
and there’s good news:
The bad news is that you have to decide on one workshop per slot.
The good news is that you can’t make a bad decision.
