We’ve just added some more instructors to this year’s festival, including both new and familiar faces! From the Rochester Martial Arts community, we’re happy to have Sifu Tom Dorsett back again. We’re also really excited to have Sensei Bill Harp, of Harp Karate, and Sensei Matt Dorsey, of Martial Arts America, both presenting for the first time at our festival.

Representing Syracuse, we’re also grateful to have Sifu Sharif Bey and Sifu Eric Winfrey.

We’re also very excited to have Sensei Lou Zuccaro returning this year. Those who attended last year’s festival are still talking about Sensei Lou’s amazing breaking and bed of nails demo. For those who haven’t seen it yet, enjoy this video:

These instructors join the rest of our announced instructors: Sensei John Borter, Master Instuctor George Curbelo, Sensei Steve Perlman, Sensei Kevin Suggs, and Rob Terlizzi. We are also expecting to add a few more before November, so be sure to keep checking this website and the event’s facebook page for the latest details.

The New England Martial Arts Camp is open to any martial artist regardless of style, system, or affiliation. The purpose of this camp is to bring together martial artists of all styles for a day of training, learning, and brotherhood.

The martial arts spirit in the air at the camp can be felt by all. Each year, no one wants the day to end! The
experience of growing in the martial arts while making new friends is indescribable.

The location is once again the beautiful Crown Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI. Our previous camps have been great
successes and this year will be even better! Participants travel from all over the Northeast and beyond to attend our
annual event.

The guest of honor this year is UFC Veteran Joe Lauzon. You can find additional information about the event here.
