    Athletes rotate between:

    › Patterns – rhythm, timing, power, and execution under competition criteria
    › Pre-arranged Sparring – structure, coordination, creativity, and realistic application
  • Afternoon Session – Application & Performance
    Sessions focused on applying skills in a performance setting, including:
    › Structured sparring rounds
    › Pattern simulations
    › Pre-arranged sparring practice

Special Features

What makes this camp unique is its strong focus on the athlete beyond just training:

  • Athlete Round Table Discussions
