BOOTCAMP 2016

This past weekend’s bootcamp was a great, positive experience. Having so many positive, energetic people together in the same place is always motivating and inspiring. Our participants this year included many rookies attending their first bootcamp ever and the engagement of the instructors made the event one of our best yet.

Bootcamp highlights the value that comes from being completely immersed in an activity. No distractions, no options, just fifteen hours of training structure. Progress, mentally and physically, was apparent in all the participants.

An event like this is only possible with generous contributions from many black belts. I owe a big debt of gratitude to Sifus Freitag, Hayes, Dennis, T. Playter, Rybak, Vantuil, Masterson, Clements, Lindstrom, M. Beckett, and Wiebe. During a time when I have a lot of balls in the air, you guys made the day perfect. Thank you!!
