Special Event at ST
"Now That She's Gone" will be presented at Oberlin College as part of ST'09 on Saturday, July 11 at 7:00 PM.
"Now That She’s Gone" is a play written and performed by Ellen Snortland that explores her often hilarious, irreverent and sometimes torturous relationship with her Norwegian-American mother. It also addresses the profound impact that learning self-defense had on her.
Look for more information and tickets coming soon. In the meantime, check out www.nowthatshesgone.org.

Who is the NWMAF?

Kate Webster, Thousand Waves
When I began training in karate and teaching self-defense over 12 years ago, both were more of a physical practice and a way to feel and keep myself more safe. It was only three or four years into my training that, while I wasn’t 100% sure what a martial artist was, I started to feel that I could call myself one."
For more about Kate and other NWMAF Members, visit our Featured Members page.
Are you a woman or girl who is training in the martial arts? Do you want to be? Have you ever taken a women's self defense class? Would you like to? Do you teach martial arts or self defense? Are you looking to network with other women like you?

Special Training 2009
Martial Arts Camp for Women and Girls
Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio
July 9-12, 2009
 Special Training is the NWMAF's signature summer training camp for all women and girls into martial arts and self defense. Whatever your age, whether you're a brand new student or have decades of experience under your belt/sash/etc., whatever your style, wherever you live... you are welcome at Special Training!
We're very excited to be returning to Oberlin College for ST'09. Oberlin College has a long history of institutional policy of equal education for women and African-American students, which led to the college being recognized as a National Historic Landmark. A brief article about Oberlin College and Women's History describes how the first women received degrees in 1841, and how Mary Jane Patterson was the first African American woman to earn a college degree in 1862.
ST'09 Self-Defense Instructors' Conference
Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio
July 7-9, 2009
 Every year, the NWMAF hosts an intensive 2-day teacher training for women who teach self defense. This is a professional development opportunity you won't want to miss, whether you are just starting out or have been teaching self defense for years. With skill sharing, panel discussions, networking, mentoring and more. Conveniently scheduled to end before Special Training begins, so you can easily attend both events.
