I always look forward to Warrior Weekend every year. It's a welcome break from busy city life and a chance to do something that I love, martial arts, in a beautiful, natural setting. This was last year's morning meditation out by a waterfall. There's nothing like being in nature and following the martial way: I envision myself following the same path that martial artists from hundreds of years ago followed. It's also a chance to spend time with Sabumnim for a few precious days; how priceless is that? This year we also are lucky to have Kyosanim for the weekend. The "spa" level of lodging this year should make it easier for those city slickers out there. That, combined with our having it in conjunction with the UMAC schools should make for a very fun,informative and transformational weekend.
