What is PacMAC?

After a four-year hiatus, PacMAC is BACK!
The first day of PacMAC 2024 was held Saturday, January 20, 2024. 

The Pacific Martial Arts Conference was formed in 2007 by Shihan Alan Best of Best Martial Arts Institute in Eugene, Oregon as an ongoing series of seminars for martial artists from various disciplines to learn from one another in friendship, and to strengthen the martial arts community in the Pacific Northwest.

Each day of PacMAC consists of a series of 25-minute mini-courses with teachers from a multitude of martial arts.

The Pacific Martial Arts Conference is proud to be a partnering event with the Oregon Asian Celebration. Since the early 1990’s many of the martial arts schools from the Eugene/Springfield area have demonstrated their styles on the Martial Arts Stage at the Celebration. The Stage runs virtually non-stop with 5+ hours of demonstrations each day! It was out of the mutual respect and friendships established at the Oregon Asian Celebration that the concept of the Pacific Martial Arts Conference evolved.
