Masters on Tape: The 2007 NAPMA Video Archive
Before streaming, NAPMA sent its members video. In 2007 the association filmed a run of champions teaching the techniques they were known for, alongside school owners talking about what membership had done for their businesses. This is that footage, collected in one place.
The Masters Series
Through 2007 NAPMA brought working champions into member schools on video — each one teaching a technique they were known for, filmed for instructors who would never get to train with them in person.
