I was recently reminded how our Martial Art Community is fragile in our beliefs and are often swayed by outside influences regardless of our insistence to be free from political beliefs that are not associated with the martial arts. Basically this means that many “Talk the Talk”, but fail to “Walk the Walk”. This saddens me because some of those people I consider to be friends and or mentors. That being said, when someone speaks of being a Martial Artist and, whether in a seminar or other Martial Art venue, they disassociate from others who they once called friends because of Politics, they then expose their hypocrisy and appear to be cowards to their professed belief and spoken words of “we are all Martial Artists and we don’t do Politics” or “we are all Brothers and Sisters wanting to learn and expand our knowledge”. It is a sad thing, not only on a personal level, but for the Martial Art Community as a whole. Namaste ~ GM Mikeal ‘Bear’ Smith

For 13 years, the Independent Warriors Association (IWA) Annual Gathering & Training Clinic has traditionally been held on the ‘First Saturday in May’ and in my mind will continue to be the Spring opening event of the Year. The 2023 event was a great success and I look forward to the May 4th 2024 event (mark your calendars). A reminder to all IWA members that the only dues asked of you is to support the IWA and to promote the IWA to like minded Martial Artists, and Students, who enjoy the spreading of knowledge and the gathering of Ohana.
As in all things… Plan, Adapt, and Overcome. ~ Namaste, GM Mikeal ‘Bear’ Smith
