Most likely one in the Boston area, and then in Western, MA. The New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission is endorsing this seminar and had asked me to to one a few months ago. I should have all the details within the next day or two. I can confirm that this seminar will be held at the Miletich Fighting Systems school in Hooksett, NH beginning at 8:30am. I will be limiting the course to either 10 or 12 people to ensure that there is ample practice and instruction time. Hey Jason, Yes, I will definitely be holding more over the next couple of months.

If not, any way to contact you to set something up. I know there is a big demand in Western MA. especially with the upcoming commission. I only know of one referee in the area but a lot of others interested in getting involved. Hey Kevin,
