New! Seminar "Tracks"

At SMAF this year, we wanted to try at new way of presenting your seminar experience, so we tried organizing the days into "tracks". Each track is an idea or topic-- like "traditional", "weapon-based", or "team-taught" seminars, and all the seminars in a given room on each day will fall under a given track. So feel free to pick a track that interests you and stick with it all day-- or try a different track for each time slot! We hope you like it, and it makes it easier to pick the seminars that interest you!

All of the seminars are open to martial artists of all ranks and previous experience. Instructors typically offer enough breadth and depth to make the seminars appealing to everyone.

* All of these classes are restricted in terms of the number of participants. Sign-up sheets will be available on the day of the seminars on a first come, first served basis. Each participant may sign up for only one breakout per day, and may be an alternate for others should they not fill.

* We prefer everyone to wear their martial arts uniforms, but other workout clothes (e.g. sweats and tees) work fine too. There is a bathroom and we do set up morning/evening changing rooms.

* Please note that this schedule is subject to change.
