The Super Summer Seminars martial arts camp was established in 1983 by Michael J. Campos, Director of the Zen-Do Kai Martial Arts Association (www.zdkusa.com). Having been involved in martial arts since 1959, and having trained long and hard in several different disciplines, Sensei Campos recognized the beneficial effects of martial arts cross-training.  His goal was to create a camp  for Martial Artists of any style or organization to meet and train so they could all improve by learning from each other.   Super Summers has proven to be that vehicle.
