March is a magical month in New Mexico! The days are warming up into the 80s and the nights are in the 50s. We plan to break the seminar into three parts each day, beginning at 8AM and ending at sunset with the end of the day dedicated to extemporaneous food, leisure, review, testing & practice.
There is plenty of camping area in the local parks, so there should be plenty of room for everyone to put up a tent, throw down a sleeping bag or sling a hammock. There are only two motels within 50 miles, so anyone wanting to secure a motel room should act VERY quickly. Everyone is welcomed to bring their families, children under 18 are welcome to participate without charge.
For those who want to brush up on the Basics in order to be best prepared to absorb the material that will be presented, there is a Private Lesson available on video you may want to acquire: https://kuntaosilat.com/product/study-with-steve/
All local lodging is filled, so anyone who has not yet secured lodging can plan to camp in the largest wilderness in America.
