Last day of the camp, and no one can think that is all over so soon. Suszuki Sensei and Sunakawa Sensei left to the airport early in the morning, and we all wish them a safe trip back to Japan. We also hope that they will return to Norway, sooner the better!

It has also been the camp last training, a light warm up training for brused up bodies =o) this training was also a warm up for those who was piced out to fight in the belt test for the Shodan candidates. 30 rounds of 2 minutes, and the candidates did really well. And dont forget Sempai Anne-Therese who manage to raise her level up to 2nd Dan!

The Kumite part was a great ending of the campall were significantly emotionally affected by this final session. The camp as a whole has been a total experience that you can take hold on to later in life. Much thanks to our Japanese guests without a doubt, but we've of course all part of this. All travelers who came from far and wide, to our Swedish friends who lifted up this camp with their competanse and warm presence. And to all candidates : You never gave up, took the presure and passed on the spirit to our younger geberations!

Osu!

The participants are well aware that the body has received a lot of good training now. And several are stiff and sore, while the good mood continues to rise! Dan candidates are now under scrutiny. And they are truly tested. Basic and Kata as well as the ability to instruct and lead are tested today. Tomorrow is the time for Kumite.

The rest of the camp is led by Sunakawa Sensei and Suzuki Sensei had Kumite, where all the camp's athletes have been training together. This is a great pleasure for everyone, but perhaps most for the youngest. This training was held outside on the grass, which was a little new to anyone. -but of course no problem, and once enough time passed incredibly fast!

It should be noted that the day started 06:30, and the training was completed as yesterday - With Tabata intervals! There was a rumor that it was Suzuki Sensei who wanted this, but it was Sensei Sjur who was responsible! ;o)

After the interval we relaxed arms, legs and the body, and it was done under light light sparring training. A very good start on this day!

today's second training camp had experienced Kumite athletes a training with Suzuki Sensei. There was a lot of sparring with the tasks you had to solve technically. A strong focus on training smart so you do not get injuries, it was also working on. There were many good rounds and performers also had to work hard on the physical aspect.

Today's fourth and last exercise had Kumite on schedule. But this time the camp was divided into different groups. Separate groups for men, a separate group for women and a separate group of children. All groups focused on the same topic. And it was also time for sparring in the group this time as well. And of course, with great enthusiasm and joy!

Today's third training has taken more Kumite, sparring and has also been performed. Suzuki Sensei  has started training with technical details, which the participants try to take with them into sparring. There is great joy in training, and big smiles on everyone's faces! Many also had the pleasure of sparring with Suzuki Sensei himself, and it was for many the highlight alone.
