Since the 1960s, Washington, DC has been home to a powerful network of disciplines, communities, and practitioners of Asian martial arts.

Join us at the Smithsonian American Art Museum for a lively series of rounds where local competitors spar not with fists, but with stories–trading memories and insights in a respectful match over DC’s martial arts history.

Moderated by Dennis Brown and Raymond Wong, with Christopher Moore as center referee, this not-to-be missed event will feature four invitational rounds of spirited storytelling, including our very own Master Francis Pineda.
