This year, the NWMAF is trying something new: hosting regional training events in four different regions of the country over the fall and winter, in order to strengthen regional connections, create community, boost membership, and spread the word about the NWMAF’s work. Titled Weaving Strength, the events will bring together the 3 threads of NWMAF: Martial Arts, Self Defense, and Healing Arts.
For the ATX event, our volunteer planning team is working closely with staff and students from Sun Dragon Martial Arts to help create a fantastic event. We are building our schedule for the day, with instructors from areas as diverse as Aikido, Tai Chi, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kung Fu, Karate, Yoga, Empowerment Self Defense, and more! The training will be a chance to meet new people and try out new things in a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment. We hope you’ll join us!
