Welcome Martial Artists!

Welcome, martial artists from Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham, and nearby areas! The group provides valuable information for martial arts instruction to local students. Adults (18+) from all schools and styles are invited to join. An interesting and diverse range of instructional events, classes, training, and seminars will be represented, focusing on providing timely and useful ways for students to grow as martial artists.

Though the group will frequently focus on specific events from different schools, general topics of interest will include:
* general martial styles (karate, taekwondo, etc.)
* internal chinese arts (taiji, bagua, xingyi, etc.)
* up and coming martial seminars and workshops
* push hands and other martial games for combat skills
* martial training methods
* meditation, mental focus and discipline
* health, balance and awareness
