Black Belt Intensive Training Camp

Met at TMD at 9 am and we all headed to the camp in Surrey...13 of us total. This year instead of driving 7 hours away, it was at a Catholic Retreat that rents out their facilities for Yoga or whatever else. They have living quarters, showers, conference rooms, cafeteria etc. After getting settled in, we started training at around 10 ish....we kicked it off with our 50's....(5o front kicks, 50 side kicks, 50 roundhouses each leg; 50 punching push ups; 50 double punching situps). We started both days with 50's and ended both days on 50's. First day we trained until about 11 at night. Then by the time we all took showers etc....we didn't sleep til after 1am.
Then next day woke up at 7 am and ate breakfast at 8am....started training again at 10am. We finished training a little after 9 pm.

Also, this year instead of covering many different topics, we got really in depth with trapping....traps with parry's, with elbows...all based on Wing Chun (sticky hand). We carried over the concept to sticks and padded swords. We did some sparring with the padded swords. Used the sticks in many different ways to tie up opponents arms' and take them down. The highlight was when Grandmaster taught us for an hour on techniques with knives and sticks. I love working with knives....we only get to do this at camp! We finished off the wkend with sparring....knife on sword, knife against empty hand, sword against empty hand, stick on sword, etc.....every possible combination. It was crazy!
