The Greater Washington Martial Arts Meetup Group

*Not* a ring or mat proving ground, kumite, or fight club. This is a group interested in exploring the rich variety of various forms of Martial and Life Protection Arts. Respectful, noncompetitive, nonjudgmental. Come to share your own and/or learn about others' experiences, styles, practical applications, and studios (dojos, dojangs, associations), including some closed to the public. Meet and practice with instructors, masters, and students.
