What usually happens is it starts on Friday and ends on Sunday. You are given an itinerary sheet with all of the days classes/seminars on it. Each time slot runs about one to two hours. For each time slot, you have a selection of around 4-6 classes to choose from. So there is never a time where you say, well there is nothing for me at this time.
Practitioners from all over come together to get on the mat and learn. Its open, friendly and has an unbelieveable amount of information to take in. It's definitely a great experience for any "Martial Arts Junkie."
