On August 2-4 some of the world’s greatest martial artists gathered to train and to recognize special contributions. The 7th annual IMAC National Training Camp and United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame were held in Las Vegas and drew a massive crowd. The three day training camp saw some of the country’s best instructors covering everything from traditional karate to kenjutsu. All the participants came away with as many new skills as friends.

On Saturday evening everyone gathered as the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame held their prestigious induction ceremony. With a packed room, the 2007 inductees were announced to cheers and applause from everyone. Honor, integrity and genuine friendship were consistent themes during the event. It all culminated with a fantastic after party and dance. Prof. Marty Cale was very excited about the success of the event and looks forward to next year already. He tells us the location has been set – Nashville, Tennessee during the first weekend of August, 2008. For more information visit: IMACUSA.Com or UnitedStatesMartialartsHallofFame.com
