April 16-18 in Crestview, FL — event has transpired, scroll down for new info
Hosted by none other than Chiefmaster Thomas Gordon and the wonderful crew at Gordon Martial Arts Family Center, the upcoming KMAF will feature Dan “The Beast” Severn and Dr. He-Young Kimm.a banquet based on Phantom of the Opera … Whether based on the 1980’s musical by Andrew LLoyd Webber or the Gaston Leroux novel from 1910, we’re not quite sure. Either way, it’s bound to be as much fun as the “Roaring Twenties” theme was in 2025 (in case you hadn’t heard, the Banquet Theme at KMAF-2025 was widely embraced & enjoyed by all in attendance). So grab your half party·mask, red rose, or whatever PHANTOM paraphernalia you care to bring and join us at this “must not miss” event. As usual, there will be many great martial arts instructors presenting throughout the weekend; and we’re hoping to see you there!
