Boot Camp

What is boot camp and why should I go? These are the questions I asked myself for years and I always came up with the same answer. Its just a day where people will judge me and I will get nothing out of it so I wont go. I told myself this right up until I was a Sihing.

At Sihing I started to realize what it would take to become a black belt at that boot camp was an opportunity presented to me that I never took advantage of. That first boot camp was amazing and I got so much more out of it than I expected. The biggest regret is that was my first and only boot camp as a student. If I had only gone before that, who knows where I would have been in my training.

I have gone to boot camp after but now as a black belt. there is still a lot of value in it for me but not as much as when I was going for black belt. I have also instructed some seminars at boot camp and my goal is to try to pass on knowledge about what helps me in my training or what am I passionate about. I believe that anyone putting on a seminar is doing it for these same reasons. We want to pass on something that will hopefully inspire the students or make them want to pursue something further.

I have a couple of ideas that I have put out there for seminars at boot camp so hopefully we will see you there.
