3rd Annual Arrow Catcher Memorial Retreat
Our 3rd Annual Arrow Catcher Memorial Retreat is taking place the weekend of October 3, 4, and 5 in Reedsport on the beautiful Oregon Coast! 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!
Last year was such a huge success! The sharing of Budo in an environment where all the ego’s were left behind, great training took place, great meals shared, conversations, new lifelong friends made, and so much more. It was a memorable experience that continues to keep the course of the USNKA for this next chapter in our growth and development in honor of a great man who was a Titan of Budo.
We are finalizing a great block of rooms at the Best Western Inn, in Reedsport Oregon for a special event pricing, and although discounts can’t be used together, there are a number of other discounts they have available for Veterans, AAA members and more. There are a number of Air BNB’s in the area for those groups that want to share a house together for the weekend and keep the costs low. Flights come into either Eugene Oregon, or North Bend Oregon. We’ll be holding a Memorial Dinner on Saturday 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!
Keep checking back here and watching your email for updates and information as it develops, and we’re looking forward to seeing you HERE in October!
