Guest Instructor Mayumi Katsura

· ·

Our guest instructor has accepted PNKF’s invitation to come and conduct a seminar during the week of June 21st-25th and be our special guest at the tournament on June 26th.

Mayumi Katsura, 6D renshi, will be traveling here from her new dojo in Mexico, that she and her husband Carlos just opened. Originally from Japan, she is fluent in Japanese, Spanish and English and has a very impressive competitive resume. We’ll posting a more permanent biography later on, but in the meantime, know this is one seminar you don’t want to miss!

We’ve reserved a block of rooms at the Quality Inn in Renton, WA.

Phone: (425) 226-7600

Room rate: $79 for a double (two queen beds) ($10 for a rollaway)
Say you’re with the Pacific Northwest Kendo Federation to get this rate.
The rate is good from July 7- July 13, 2013. (Should you want to stay longer at that rate, just ask).

The hotel is directly across from the Renton Community Center, which means that if you haven’t got a car, no problem!

There is a Shari’s restaurant directly below the hotel and a few other places to eat within walking distance. Breakfast is included in the room rate! (coffee, tea, juice, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, assorted pastries and breads, fresh fruit, and a waffle station)

This is also where the after party will be on Saturday night!
