Membership is open to everyone who supports the full and active participation of women in the martial arts.

Thanks to all the wonderful teachers who applied for Camp 2009!

Camp 2009's theme is Roots of Community, Seeds of Change.

This theme relates to the roots our martial arts and our martial arts communities provide us. These roots offer us strength, define us, and will help us to deal with the difficult and uncertain times we
are all now facing. How does our martial arts practice and community give us sustenance, and how do we in turn sustain our communities and effect positive change?
