“Seeking out our similarities on a quest to find all that connects our art”

For over 20 years, the Whipping Willow Association has spread and celebrated a diverse background of martial arts. With a clear vision that aims to seek out all that connects our art across cultures and experiences and to foster a student mindset that encourages continual growth, the Association is a hub for all martial arts, both combative and restorative.

  • 2023 Winter Gathering

    The Winter Gathering (Wind) is our largest of the year. Masters and students from all over world meet to once again draw from the well in a 3-day event. The first day is always focused on healing, followed by the next day's combative study and concluded with the third day, centered on basics as taught by our Grandmasters.
