...from my email...
Hello,
I know this email is long over due, but my mother always said better late than never!
I want to send a big thank you to all the participants and instructors who attended the 11th annual ISMAC. It was a great event once again and there are some stories which will be told for a long time.
The third Patri Pugliese Memorial Auction was a great success. Thanks to the generous donors and bidders we raised $1,900 to donate to Patri's Girls' college fund. Incredible! It was really touching to see the support from everyone which made it an incredible auction and a good time to boot.
I also want to let everyone know that the ISMAC 2009 10th anniversary DVD is now available for purchase. This DVD features three classes offered at ISMAC 2009 and can be purchased for $25.00.
The featured classes are:
Maestro Ramon Martinez - A Practical Approach to Spanish Rapier
Maestro James Loriega - Theory and Practice of the Navaja
Dwight McLemore - The Bowie Knife
For more details, to see sample clips and to order you can go to www.martinez-destreza.com/ismac10.htm
Finally I want to let everyone know that next year ISMAC will take a hiatus in order to hold a new event called "Combat Con." Mark your calendars for June 24th-26th, 2011 and get ready to head to Las Vegas! While this event will be similar to ISMAC in some aspects (several tracks of various WMA classes by top WMA teachers) we will also have a variety of other things happening throughout the weekend. We are working hard to make this workshop a national platform to promote Western Martial Arts. We are still developing the details so we will be reaching out to many people in the next few months to help make this event a success. The beginnings of the webpage are on www.thecombatcon.com/ so keep an eye out for many more details in the coming months.
Take care,
Jared Kirby
