Patterns Seminar & Retreat - Registration Form

The seminar, taught by Grandmaster Douglas Arnold, IX Dan, will consist of Chang-Hon (Blue Cottage/ITF-style) patterns, from Chon-Ji through Tong-Il.

​

Not your typical Patterns seminar…once your highest pattern is complete, your training continues with additional classes with other masters and seniors!

​

Arrive Thursday after 4 p.m., stay on-site and enjoy camp camaraderie and shenanigans. Start your day Friday with a walk through the woods and a guided meditation class overlooking Lake Texoma, followed by breakfast at Cross Point Lodge.

 

Friday arrival also includes on-site ropes course at 9 a.m. Friday morning, followed by lunch at Cross Point Lodge and instruction Friday afternoon. After dinner, evening activities will include Masters Q & A and some friendly competition.  Start your Saturday with a walk through the woods and a guided meditation class overlooking Lake Texoma, before breakfast at the lodge.
