Combat Con, Las Vegas, Nevada, June 24th - 26th 2011

From the Combat Con website, www.TheCombatCon.com:

        "Be a part of the action like never before! Learn how to fight scurvy knaves on the high seas or go toe to toe with the ultimate Zombie Cage Fighter. Uncover Sherlock Holmes' "Science of Self-Defense," or hone your skills under the watchful eye of a real Jedi. Whatever your favorite flavor of mayhem, some of the best Western Martial Arts instructors in the world will help you take your skills to the next level at CombatCon 

And if the middle of the melee isn't your favorite place to be, don't worry: we've got plenty of other fantastic (and family-friendly!) activities, too, including panels with featured guests, a film expo, a costume contest, a Time-Travelers' ball, zombie makeup makeovers, and more. Not to mention the opportunity to hang with old friends and make some new ones. And where else could all this happen besides Las Vegas, one of the most action-packed vacation destinations in the US?"

The Grand Assault of Arms, New York City, New York, November 13th & 14th 2010
