Here are some comments by a few of the participants from past events:

• "As a student/visitor to the Indiana 'Meeting of the Masters' seminar this past weekend, I wanted to thank all of those responsible for putting on one of the best and well organized Martial Arts seminars I've ever attended. Being a black belt and primarily continuing my studies through seminars, I must say it was a great honor to be a guest at the conference. The atmosphere, Christian fellowship, and just the warmth that was offered to me and the others there, was just tremendous.  I would like to become a member of the GMAU so I could help in the spread of this great organization, and the Christian martial arts."  -- Cory Ballinger
• "This ministry really knows how to put on a top-notch seminar. They thought of every detail, made the instructors feel very special, and really  treated the students to quality instruction. The spirit of the conference was Christ-centered and everything was done with excellence. All ego's were checked at the door."  --Kent Haralson
• Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Meeting of the Masters. The time, effort, and sacrifice you, your family, and your staff put forth to plan this event must have been enormous. Thank you for your ministry to the body of Christ.  --Valerie LeGacy,
• "We were treated like royalty!"  --Michael McClure
• "The Gospel Martial Arts Union National Conference in Indianapolis took place this last weekend.  WOW!  I am not sure if you were skeptical because it was a Christian based conference or had other things planned.  I have to tell you, WOW!  I must say I have never been to a conference where the "attitude or pride" was checked at the door, not to say any of these people had it, I am just trying to make a point.  No one there tried to convert you to his or her style.  No one had the "tough guy" attitude and during the Friday night grappling and full contact competition, there was a different kind of spirit in the competitors.  I know I have not done the conference justice in these few words, It would be impossible to express everything in full here.  WE will just have to be ready for the next one!"  -- Mikel R. Fulk
• Just wanted to drop a note thanking you and your students for a great clinic.  The instruction this year was once again top notch.  They all obviously love to pass on the love of their art and their love of God. I heard nothing but praise for your new facility and for all of the instructors.  The clinics always go so fast and everyone can't wait till next year!  -- Mark Flaugher
