Special Features

This camp will be different than the previous camp. We will have separate classes for the school owners in school management and internet applications for your schools.

Thursday night
We will be having a class for Brown and Black belts prior to the official start of the camp. This class will be a "problem solving" class. WMAA members can attend Thursday night at no additional cost.

Saturday night

We will be having a banquet to celebrate our gathering and to get to know the members of the Modern Arnis community. This year’s party will have a Las Vegas theme. There will be poker tables and slot machines for set up for everyone’s enjoyment. We will also have demonstrations by several of the instructors attending, in addition to the return of WMAA Jr. Demo team. Added to all of the festivities will be the celebration of the WMAA founder Datu Hartman’s 40th Birthday.

:partyon:
 
The WMAA site will be updated soon with more detailed information on this year's event. Hope to see you all there!

We have just confirmed that one of our sponsors ( www.martialartsphotography.com ) will be setting up at the camp to do professional photo shoots for any one who is interested. Rates will vary based on what packages people are interested in, for more information on booking a shoot contact MA Photography at [email protected] .
 
It should make for a great celebration! I’ve been told that many of the “Old Timers” will be coming for Datu’s birthday.

A couple months until the camp the pre-registrations have started to come in! I’m also excited to announce a new sponsor. RST Collectibles has donated a full size casino slot machine to be given away as a door prize! The machine is valued at $400. Every year we have a couple door prizes and this year looks to have the most yet! We would like to thank RST Collectibles for their generous donation!

After just finishing a successful seminar here in Philly I'm looking foreword to the Buffalo Camp in June. The Cebu West guys are signed up and ready to go. This is going to be a great camp.

On a personal note I will be donating two custom stick bags and two pair of Okinawan pocket sticks w/pouches to be given away as door prizes during the camp banquet.

I hope to see some MT faces in Buffalo.
