1st Annual Arrow Catcher Memorial Retreat
Our 1st Annual Arrow Catcher Memorial Retreat is taking place on October 20th, and 21st at Full Moon Martial Arts in Clarksville Indiana! We would love to have you come and honor a great man, our founder, Jim Mather Hanshi, and enjoy special training from some of the biggest names in the Budo Community such as Pat Hickey (USAKF), Chuck Phillips, Steve and Susan Warntjes, Melvin Lewis, Jay Penfill, Ron Manes, and of course our host for the weekend and Chief Instructor of Full Moon Martial Arts, Charles Dismang, better known in the Budo world as Tashi! We will also have a demonstration from Tashi’s Breaking Team that will be quite the sight to behold!
We have a great block of rooms at the Raddison Louisville North for a special event pricing, we’ll be holding a Memorial Dinner on Friday night in Hanshi’s honor, and so much more. We’re really looking forward to seeing old friends and forging new friendships. This is a tremendous gathering to set the foundation for the next chapter in the USNKA!
