More than 30 participants enjoyed the Tambo training seminar at Satori Dojo in Phoenixville, PA on Saturday Feburary 2nd, 2008. It covered the entire Tambo curriculum of the Cuong Nhu requirements right from one Brown stripe to two Black stripes.

- Basic strikes, using small targets to improve accuracy of strikes
- Disarming in long, medium and close range
- Tambo-1 Kata and it's applications,
- the best part Tambo sparring with protective gear and foam covered tambos.
It was a terrific event and everyone had a great time.
