RMAI NEWS UPDATE
Hello everyone!!
I hope you all had a great weekend. I want to thank everyone who came to the Whistlekick Free Training Day Mid-Atlantic seminar on Saturday. If you weren't there, it was a great day to experience different martial arts and concepts taught by instructors from all over the region, some as far away as Vermont. Hopefully we have the opportunity to participate again next year.
