Upcoming Event: TBMAG 2025 Fall Retreat

🗓 November 22–23, 2025
📍 Maddox Ranch – Lakeland, Florida
🎯 Focus: Push Hands (Experience with internal/soft styles recommended)

This is our 13th Annual Fall Retreat—a weekend where dedicated martial artists gather to train, test, explore, and grow through contact.

There are no instructors, no stage, and no formal demos. Just open ground, partner work, and a community built on shared practice and mutual respect.
We train. We observe. We learn from each other.

Why We Show Up

🥋 Refine Your Art Through Contact
Push Hands, variations, sensitivity drills, and partner exploration. Across styles, across experience levels—just real training with real feedback.

🤝 Built on Mutual Respect
Everyone shows up to learn and share. No hierarchy, no ego—just martial artists helping each other grow.

🌳 The Setting Adds to the Practice
Maddox Ranch gives us space to move. A canopy of oaks keeps us shaded, and a breeze always seems to roll through. Some of us camp overnight. And if a train rumbles by after dark—it’s part of the charm.

Want In?

We had 74 people last fall.
This year, we’re aiming for 100.
Mark your calendar. Bring your gear. Show up ready.
