Anyone interested in attending one of these... the next one is over Labor Day Weekend in Bellevue, WA (Seattle area).

These are open to folks of any affiliation. Folks should have solid ukemi and basic weapons skills.
Usually we can find places for you to stay with dojo folks and we can get you to and from the airport given notice, so the expense should be reasonable.
