Hotel Rate:
We have negotiated a discounted rate for TaiKai attendees of $99/night! This is an all-suite hotel, and their regular suite price starts at $199, so this is an excellent deal. This rate is good for up to 4 persons sharing a suite, and each suite's living room has a couch that folds out into a bed. Just tell them you're with TAIKAI USA to get our special rate!
See our FAQ page for further hotel details and information.
Please Note: Be sure to make your hotel reservation as soon as you can to get this special rate. Their cutoff date is June 26th. After June 26, or once the hotel fills up, they will no longer offer our special rate.

Kunoichi Kai!
Saturday, July 19th, will also be the inaugural Kunoichi Kai. Sheila Haddad (15th Dan, Germany) will lead this one-of-a-kind 'seminar-within-a-seminar' for women only. If you haven't had a chance to train with Sheila, this is an opportunity not to be missed--especially now that she's no longer in the US--and will undoubtedly make a difference in your training. Sheila has trained women around the world, including some countries where the culture is incredibly tough on women, and is very active in the world of women's self defense.
Kunoichi Kai is being held in conjunction with TAIKAI USA, a three-day seminar taught jointly by Bujinkan Master Teachers Bud Malmstrom (15th Dan, USA), Moti Nativ (15th Dan, Israel), Roy Wilkinson (15th Dan, USA), and Sheila Haddad herself. (During Kunoichi Kai, the men will be training on their own on Saturday, instructed by Bud, Moti and Roy, and the two groups will reunite on Sunday.) Kunoichi Kai will focus exclusively on female practitioners' training. (What is a Kunoichi? Click Here for more info)
This is the first ever Kunoichi Kai seminar, and a unique opportunity for Bujinkan women. Please don't miss it!
Feldenkrais Session
In addition to his Bujinkan expertise, Moti Nativ is also an internationally-known Feldenkrais instructor. The Feldenkrais Method is a unique movement and awareness discipline. Moti specializes in seminars for martial artists using an effective approach that improves the warrior ability. As a part of TAIKAI USA, Moti has offered to lead a Feldenkrais session on Sunday morning, and this will be an excellent chance to experience it first-hand with a great instructor.
Vendors
Do you have training-related items you would like to offer to TAIKAI USA attendees? Events like this are often the best or only way for practitioners to find the right gear or right size - not to mention saving some shipping costs! A limited number of vendor tables will be available to TAIKAI USA attendees at $150 each. Vendors must contact us ahead of time, as each table requires advance arrangements with the hotel. Unapproved vendors will not be allowed.
