"Thank you all for an outstanding event. This is a much-needed dialogue in the martial arts community, one where the quality of research and ideas speaks louder than stripes, trophies, and accolades. It is a place where the next generations of martial artists will be able to apply their academic and/or professional experience to educate others and improve the art." -
