Karate Camp(For Grownups)

[lordtariel]

I've seen the occasional martial arts summer camp for kids, but what about for the grownups? I could really go for a week or even just a weekend long retreat for nothing but training. Anyone know of any karate retreats on the west coast? Preferably in southern washington/oregon/northern califorina? Anyone have any experience with them?

I don't know of any karate camps around, but I have had experience with such activities. I think it was in 1994, I went to the Rocky Mountain Workout that the ATA held. It was a weekend thing, with an assortment of different classes you could take. You got about three or four in per day, and broke for lunch and dinner.

I had a blast. I hope you can find one, too!

Our organization holds a karate camp every year around Memorial Day. It's for both adults and kids. Training classes are held on various subjects like learning new katas to Ju Jitsu training.

You can find out more info here and can also contact our Grand Master (Don Madden)

I go to one of these every year. It is done on an old military fort. We start on the friday and go till the sunday. This is the thing I look forward to most in the whole year!!!

Very nice pics, Jiffy, all of them. Portsea looks like a load of fun, and being done outside is a nice freshness.

We do it annually in the summer. We've had a lot of success in the past, this year was pretty good as well. Regrettably though we're on the Atlantic coast of Canada...you probably are too far away.

This isn't quite karate, but it's the same concept... http://www.paradisewarriorretreat.com/

Wow, that would be one heck of an opportunity! Didn't see a price, though. What do you suppose the tag is on it??

Hit "upcoming event's" the flyers there with pricing. Looks like $165 a day, or 3 day seminar $395 without accomidations $585 with accomidations. I used to be stationed very close to there, that resort is really nice, or used to be.
