At the Stone Soldier Training Camp, participants were educated in three unique ecosystems at Stone Mountain Theme Park, Georgia. Martial arts disciplines from China, the Philippines and Japan were instructed in environments that emphasized the origin of each art to foster insightful learning. Bladed weapons on the mountain, Filipino stick fighting in the forest and Japanese/Chinese forms were performed on the beach.
