The presenter application for Free Training Day Mid-Atlantic 2026 is officially open!
And honestly… this event only works because of the people who step up to share.
Every year, our presenters bring something special to the floor. Not just knowledge or technique, but energy, generosity, and a genuine desire to help others grow. That’s what transforms this from “a day of training” into something much more meaningful.
It becomes a space where people connect. Where they try something new. Where they realize just how much we all have in common, no matter our style or background.
Who Should Apply?
We’re looking for presenters of all styles and backgrounds—traditional, modern, competitive, recreational, and everything in between.
If you’ve taught dozens of seminars, we’d love to hear from you.
If this will be your first time presenting, we’d love to hear from you, too.
If you have something you care about sharing, that’s a great place to start.
What Makes This Event Different?
Free Training Day Mid-Atlantic isn’t about spotlight moments or big egos. It’s about learning together.
That’s why our presenters don’t just show up, teach, and leave.
They stay.
They train.
They support each other.
They help create an environment where someone can walk onto the mat—maybe for the very first time—and immediately feel like they belong.
That part matters more than anything else.
What You’ll Gain
Free Training Day presenters consistently walk away with something incredibly valuable:
- A room full of engaged, respectful martial artists
- Meaningful connections across styles and schools
- The chance to be part of something bigger than a single session
It’s an experience built on passion, not transactions—and that’s what makes it stick with people long after the day is over.
Know Someone Who Should Be Here?
Some of the best presenters we’ve had were encouraged to apply by someone else.
If you’re reading this and someone comes to mind—an instructor who brings great energy, who cares about their students, who would make this event even more fun and meaningful—send this their way.
Sometimes a simple “you should do this” is all it takes.
