20 HOUR SPIRIT! Taken from arkive 2008

 The idea behind this event was to train 1 hour for each year the club has existed. This must be done in a weekend so you keep work and school outside

Ringerike Karate Klubb/Dojo 20 years:

 

Sit down and calculate what it really means to train 20 hours from Friday 18.00 to Sunday 12.00 am.
Divide the time you do not exercise on food, shower and sleep.
One need not have extensive experience with training to realize that there was a major challenge in this celebration. Top sports athletes train 15-20 hours... But it's in a week.

14 people participated in all sessions and more than 40 practitioners visited, which meant that there were about 25 athletes in virtually all classes .. This is incredible and nothing else! A perfect blend of youth and adults, too, and a good mix of routine and young blood was there, too.
 
to set up a training program for this type of activity has many factors that one must take into account. Variation, repetition, sleep, motivation sessions must be systematized.

A great advantage in the large amount of training is that you get a lot of reoutations and no breaks including job or things that can change your focus..Adding the foundation in the early sessions with the principles and drills it is easier to have something to fall back on when the head is "falling out" at the end. This must be said that we succeed because it was unusually large increase of those who participated. And then especially on the athletes who participated in all sessions.

 

There was great excitement about who and how many people managed to keep the entire course. But of the 15 who had endeavored to stay the course so there was not one who threw the towel! It must be commended for the good mood that was in place at any time. Even when it was really hard! When fatigue and exercise soreness peaked, it is easy to start hanging with the head, but not among this bunch ;o)

There was a constant mental battle to get started after minimal breaks. But in addition to good mental strength was all very good with the intake of food and drink at every opportunity, and without this had guaranteed people broken and had to be surrendered for that reason. This shows good knowledge in relation to how the body / activity and nutrition go together.
During the 20 hours of training were passed through the basics, fighting techniques, sparring, self defense in several Dimensions, pad training and a painful insight into how such Filipino martial art destroy legs and arms ...

 

 

Despite the fact that there was little time for breaks, you would think that the time was excluded to (eat) and sleep. But socializing, being with the other was the election was far more tempting than to sleep! This makes the camp very nice! Of course when the body finally requires its, then you have to take a power nap! But otherwise it was a fight posetiv GO atmosphere allow us which contributed greatly to keep the spirit up and motivate themselves to drag the start of the next session.

Another factor that (I at least) was appreciated was that it was a lot of practice onthose who did not take the entire camp.

It seemed promising to bring in some very fresh, because they pulled the whole group to a raised level and effort. When everyone is just tired going into a "sleep mode" because everyone else does, too. However, with some coming from outsideone becomes quickly aware of how it is! It should be noted that athletes out was soeager to get on the morning session on Sunday that it was heard scratching on the door 1.5 hours BEFORE the training. .. which started at 7:00! -the same day as we were set the clock to winter time, when given ....!

 

 

Night session early Sunday was "turning the session" This was the seventh sessionin a day, and after the toughest period in the course of the weekend was veryimportant that this session was a session where everyone got a boost mentally. And that was it! This was determined to get a good feeling and a boost in spirit!
When it was ready for the morning session on Sunday, people were suddenly aware that it was almost over! The session went away with a focus on defense on the ground, and it is heavy work in 1.5 hours but the time flew!

 

Last session .... in advance was a rumor started to spin: it should be pads training as"death Tuesday ".... The last session was 2 hours and it is hard considering what the body has gone through before. The first hour was sparring with the task of building upuntil you ended up in free sparring. Last hour it was ready for belly belt protection andpad! The hours that followed dug every deep, really deep .. this was extremely how much each one gave of themselves.


"I think it is so Kyokushin spirit is supposed to be"
 



Warm down and stretching with a partner completed 20 hours. There was a feelingthat is impossible to describe, and many were touched and proud to have taken up this challenge.

..and of course work monday morning was not funny at all!
