TMA Sparring Club in Philly

Hi everyone, my name is Paul, I organize a traditional martial arts sparring club in Philadelphia. We have been meeting 1-2 times a month since last summer, and hoping to bring in some new members. Here's some basics about the club:

We are a friendly meetup group consisting of martial artists with 3 or more years experience in any particular art. We do not hold seminars, instruct, or trade techniques. This is NOT A FIGHT CLUB. We value respect, control, safety and courtesy above all fighting technique. To join prospective members must register and sign a waiver accepting full responsibility for their safety, and agree to our rules of contact and behavior.

Although any style is welcome, we focus in traditional martial art styles rather than boxing, kickboxing, or MMA. We require padding and proper equipment for all sparring contact, though some styles practice and prefer less equipment for open hand techniques or throws. In this case some contact rules may be adjusted and agreed upon by the individual practitioners.

We are also affiliates of sparringclub.com, so most of the information and registration there applies to our club as well. Download the app here to link up with sparrers in DC or NY also👍👊

If you are interested please email me at [email protected] with any questions, or register here and I will follow up with additional meetup information. Our next meetup is on March 4th in Port Richmond from 6:30-8:30. Hope to see you there!
