THE ARROW CATCHER MEMORIAL RETREAT

Year after year, as costs rise and the world changes around us, one constant remains at the Arrow Catcher Memorial Retreat — the extraordinary generosity of Sonja Churi and the Best Western Salbasgeon Inn & Suites of Reedsport.

Sonja isn't just a hotel owner — she's become a true partner to the USNKA community. Every year, she personally steps in to ensure our participants have comfortable, affordable lodging, handling reservations directly so that every guest feels genuinely cared for rather than like just another booking. Her warmth and commitment to our event reflect exactly the values we hold as martial artists: honor, service, and community.

This year — despite industry-wide inflation and October rates sitting at $189.99/night — Sonja has once again gone the extra mile, holding our exclusive participant rate at just $139.99 per night. That's a $50 savings per room, per night, delivered not through a booking engine, but through a handshake and a phone call — the old-fashioned way.

Nestled right on Historic Highway 101, just minutes from the event venue, the Salbasgeon is the perfect home base for your retreat weekend. And with the world-famous Oregon Dunes just down the road, many participants turn the weekend into a full Pacific Northwest adventure. We encourage you to arrive early, stay late, and make the most of this beautiful corner of Oregon.
