This
year's summer camp was great! There were lots of surprises
as well as twists and turns.
We had the
usual trainings which were great. We also did water
training. That's always fun, as well as sparring in the
water.
We learned a
lot of neat Bo moves this year too. There were a few
surprise trainings as well a a midnight training.

Alex's sun) trains in Kihon
There was an optional training at 6:00 am but since very
little people showed up, we had another training after that
at 7:00 am. It was for punishemt. We had to do about 1000
kicks with no stops.
After all the
hard work, we got to relax, swim and have a good time.
Then later
there was Cardio Kickboxing which was a blast! Lots of
sweat! And right after that, it was very nice to have a
relaxing session of yoga.
As usual there
were black belt fights. And they were very exciting for all
to watch. There was this one man, 47 years old, that did 22
fights of varying lengths. Great job! And congratulations to
all the fighters out there!
Then the
tables were all set for the feast. It was wonderful and
delicious. My compliments to the chef(s)!
After that the
room was cleared and everyone danced. As usual, it was
really great to loosen up and have fun.
Then for the
last day we had one more training in which we did a lot of
Goshin Jitsu and more kicks. When it ended we parted,
awaiting the next time we get to go to camp again.
And I would
also like to thank all the Shihans and Senseis, without whom
we wouldn't have had this great camp.
Osu!
