There’s a certain kind of energy that buzzes in the air just before something incredible happens.
That’s where we are right now.
The team behind Free Training Day Mid-Atlantic 2025 has been hard at work behind the scenes, and let me tell you—it’s going to be another unforgettable year. But before we dive into what’s coming, we have a question for you:
Who do YOU want to see present this year?
Last year’s lineup was packed with powerhouse martial artists—dedicated, passionate, humble, and ready to share what they love. (If you’ve seen the group photo, you know just how much talent was in one room!) This year, we’re curating a brand-new schedule, and we want your input. Because you know the instructors who light up a room. You’ve trained beside them. You’ve been inspired by them. And maybe, just maybe, they don’t even know how much of an impact they could make as a presenter at Free Training Day.
So go ahead—share this blog post with them, or simply send us their name. We’re listening.
Interested presenters can go HERE.
