The  6th New England Martial Arts Summer Camp will be held on September 13, 2008.

This is an adult only camp that allows people from all over the New England area (and beyond) to come together for a weekend of learning.

This year we are pulling out all of the stops to make our camp unbeatable.

Our location will be the beautiful Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI. We have secures a 4000 square foot ball room. This will give us plenty of space to run our seminars.

Our Guest Instructor is W. Hock Hochheim. Hock is a world renowned instructor of martial arts. He is away virtually every weekend teaching seminars all over the world. Sifu Raffi has known Hock since 1992 and we are honored to have him come to teach at camp.

For information about Hock, check out his website at http://www.hockscqc.com/

Each year we feature the best martial arts instruction this region has to offer. Camp participants have several choices each session in the arts of T'ai Chi, Combat Hapkido, Ju-Jitsu, Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do, Aikido, Filipino Martial Arts, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, and more!

There will also be a variety of non-martial arts seminars to choose from such as Yoga, and Fencing.

Every year we receive high praise for this event. At the end of the day, no one wants it to end! We hope to see you on June 24th & 25th.

Here's what past attendees have to say about our camp

You always manage to procure fantastic instructors, really great people who truly want to teach and interact with other martial artists of all levels. The instructors who come are charismatic people thoroughly in love with their art.  I LOVE that it's mixed martial arts, that there's no particular art which grabs the focus, and that no one cares what rank you are, what style you do, or how good or bad you are at whatever workshop you're in at the time.  I always manage to talk and laugh and joke with everyone, and people are universally polite and supportive

Although the sun's technique was strong and I look like my tank top is now grafted to my body, I have to say that camp was more than worth it. Thanks to Sifu and all the awesome instructors there.  Tai Chi was awesome and the Long Form was beautiful, fencing was an unexpected reat and made for some great friendly competition, and Sifu Raffi did an excellent job of making us queasy and excited at the same time with all of that knife play. There were too many great experiences and techniques to list here, it was so much and so good to
absorb.
