This year’s Oregon Knockout will be held during the fall of 2007 in Portland. Given the success of the Macha Monkey workshop in Seattle, we’ve changed the focus of our workshop slightly to try to better serve our area: this year the Knockout will focus on bringing as many of Oregon’s fight folks together as possible. We will also be offering SAFD Skills Proficiency Renewals (SPRs) in up to three weapons.

This year’s Knockout faculty includes:

1. SAFD Certified Teacher Jonathan Cole
   

2. SAFD Certified Teacher Ted deChatelet
   

3. SAFD Certified Teacher Robert Hamilton
   

and Portland area fight gurus and all-around amazing guys:

1. Kendall Wells
   

2. John Armour
   

Because we’ve cut down significantly on our overhead costs, costs for the 2007 Knockout will be much lower than in the past. Details will be announced very soon, so please check back regularly.
