| This was my first year attending, and I hope to attend again in the future. It was an honor to be among so many amazing martial artists. I've been to A LOT of conferences over the years, and this was one of my favorites. I liked the size of the group. I could get a feeling of the whole, and interact with individuals, and not feel overwhelmed. It was a deeply transforming experience. |
