**Action / Adventure** is a series of somewhat loosely related events, having as a common theme the call to high adventure and one's response to that call - in literature, the cinema, and in real life.  We have a strong series of presentations on the Western Martial Arts, examinations of stunt fighting as it is portrayed and choreographed in the movies, and other related topics.  In part, it is a re-creation of the [[http://pc8.penguicon.org/events.php?track=mayhem|(prior to year 2010) "Mayhem" track]], but we intend for it to be so much more.

For **2014**, we are pleased and honored to have the [[http://www.polarisfellowship.com|Polaris Fellowship of Weapons Study]] return to give us practical instruction in the use of various deadly pointed and edged things.  In addition, there will be several sessions lead by representatives from [[http://aegisswordsmanship.com/|
Aegis Academy of Swordsmanship LLC]], who have generously presented their material in years past.  We will also bring back the always popular "Open Source Martial Arts" information swap session.

The track head for 2014 is [[https://plus.google.com/117386907457222594278/posts|John D. Bell]], who also is the event coordinator for [[geekswithguns|"Geeks with Guns"]].  (Come to think of it, guns //are// an important part of the Western Martial Arts tradition in the last 350 years.)

Please [[action@penguicon.org?Subject=about Action/Adventure|email John]] if you have any questions, or suggestions for how to make this track more awesome!
