This year’s Renaissance Martial Arts Festival will be November 7th and 8th. For the last ten years we’ve gathered our closest martial friends together to share their arts with the Rochester martial arts community in a friendly and open environment. The festival participants experience new martial arts and learn ideas and approaches that they can apply to their own practice. All arts and experience levels are encouraged to participate.
The weekend is filled with numerous opportunities to receive hands on, personal instruction in these arts. Meet and work with other martial artists from the Rochester area. Saturday night features a group dinner, offering another opportunity for participants and instructors to mingle!
This year’s workshops will include:
|
Genri-Ryu Life Protection Arts Goju Ryu Karate Okinawan Karate Concepts for Speed, Power and Effectiveness Modern Jui Jitsu Sambo (Russian Grappling) Ground Fighting and Self Defense from the Ground |
Zenbu Ryu JuJitsu Aiki Ju Do Jun Fan Jeet Kun Do KAPAP’s Approach to Defending against Edged Weapons Concepts from Snake and Dragon Kung Fu Hung Ga Kung Fu The Karambit (Hooked Knife) |
We’ll continue to update the website as more instructors confirm
Registration for the festival begins at 7.00 am, on Saturday the 7th. Workshops run from 8.00 am – 5.30 pm.
There will also be a raffle to benefit relief efforts in the wake of the Typhoon and Flooding that has hit the Philippine Islands. The prize will be a Karambit.
