Introduction

Hello ARMA. My name is Vance and I live in SAn Diego. I stumbled upon your organization after reading a novel that a friend lent me. Fortuitous since i hardly ever read fiction. I am a former Marine and I miss the martial spirit I once cultivated. I like ARMA because it is a subject matter that I havent seen handled properly elsewhere. I like the emphasis on examining the ancient texts through trial. I'm looking forward to learning more from you.

I encourage you to go to a 1.0 (introductory seminar) if you are able to travel and see if this is what you are looking for. There are also ARMA study groups in Utah and Nevada for a closer trip if you want to visit with them. Happy training! :D

Where are the seminars usually held? I have In laws in Vegas so thats not too much of a problem. If this information is already on the site you can just point me toward it.

Seminars are occassional events. You can find them listed on the front page under upcoming events. I would suggest you contact one of the western study groups:

and arrange a visit to a practice to see if this what you are looking for.
