In this edition of the traditional Summer Camp of the Federation Kyokushinkai Spain, we had the opportunity to have the two-time champion of the World Karate Championship, Shihan Tsukamoto Norichika.
After several years of requesting to WKO, we have had the fantastic opportunity to learn from an exemplary karateka, who has not only taught us about technique and tactics for combat, but has given us master classes of humility, closeness, and budo. In short, three days of training in a new location, the hostel of the city of Jaca, with a record of more than 200 participants, who have surely motivated by the presence of the Japanese instructor in Spain.
On Friday the training focused on Kihon work, Idogeiko by the Spanish instructors of the course, and combat tactics work under the guidance of Shihan Tsukamoto. On Saturday we started with physical conditioning in the morning, training mainly in kata and idogeiko, and combat technique in the afternoon. On Sunday we finished with a great training by Shihan Tsukamoto, who delighted us with stretching work in preparation for his combat technique, which we were able to practice afterward.
During the camp, we also held the grade exam, which was taken by almost 56 people. To all those who managed to pass the exam, congratulations! To those who did not, do not lose heart in your goal and keep training to achieve it in the future. Special mention to the delivery of the new degrees approved by WKO last November: Shihan Leo Adriá, who received his 6th Dan belt, and Shihan Juan Carlos Escalera, who received his 7th Dan belt. A source of pride for the whole Federation.
Thank you very much to all the attendees, who have contributed to the success of this great Camp.
Osu!
