31st Annual Summer Camp 2010
2010 Western Region Summer Camp Payson, AZ

We are holding our Annual Summer Camp again this year in Payson from July 16-18. As you know, Payson’s beautiful scenery has much to offer, especially the breathtaking views from its Mogollon Rim. Our training this year will take place at the Tonto Recreational Center near the Casino on the Indian reservation, the same as last year.
What is the difference between regular training and Summer Camp? In the Dojo, standard classes are one hour per class. Training at Summer Camp is normally two hours each class, morning and afternoon.
We begin each day by meeting at 4:30 a.m. for a session of meditation at a random beautiful location just outside of Payson. This activity, although not mandatory, is well-worth your participation, as it teaches mental and physical self-control in addition to time management. It helps you find that peaceful place inside you. There are so many personal benefits; you must experience at least once to know what you may be missing.
After a day’s exercise, students can drive back to their accommodations on a road that can be rather tricky to navigate. Therefore, after each session of training you will need to recover your strength. Rebounding from fatigue is an important subject of the camp; I will teach you how to rebuild your strength as well as how to breathe with a technique of Chinese origin called Kiko.
As in our Winter and Spring camps, some students from Mexico want to join us, and are returning for Summer Camp because they are interested in its program. Our itinerary includes both a Kyu and a Dan Exam. So by all means, please attend and enjoy this training.
I will see you there.
