Fang Shen Do Kung Fu - Canada Martial Arts Training

More Training Camp Pictures

Testimonials from participants are flooding in.

"The synergy of the group this year was unmatched, we were a team from beginning to the end"

If you joined us last weekend, once the dust settles and you can sit quietly and reflect on your weekend, you'll start remembering things you forgot about.

"Marie-Josee finishing her leg of the speed trail. The women this year were on fire, even flawlessly completing the 350 lbs Tire Flip competition"

Every event "toppled" the other so naturally you kinda forget the drills and activities of Friday and Saturday morning until 3 or 4 days later when memories start flashing through your mind.

You might even ask yourself: "I'd like to be back at camp right about now"

"Julie working her knife defense in the very popular 'Get the Knife' Drill"

And we feel the same way, believe me.

There's such a high throughout the weekend that when everybody leaves on Sunday there's an emptyness of sorts. The void is filled with the excitement of next year and I've already started planning the drills and new obstacles that will be built in 2010 as we will celebrate our 15 th year of holding Training Camps.

I know for alot of students, Training Camp is their ultimate annual test to see if they're training correctly and with enough intensity in their respective school, lack in any one area will keep them primed up for the rest of the year, so those weaknesses are turned into strengths.

A wise student knows there are up and downs in their training (and in life in general). Training Camp just guarantees you have the tools to stay focused, determined and walking the path of mastery.

More to come,

Oh Yeah!

If you were part of the team this weekend I'm sure you're walking around with a big smile on your face right now and if it's not on your face, it definitely is in your heart.

I'm a pretty active guy, I've been on many trips to different destinations around the world, I've searched for extreme activities to subject myself to, I've trained with some of the best in the world and none of what I've done or experienced comes close to living an experience like our Training Camp.

Unique in every sense, the camp puts you to the test in all areas and forces you to dig deep within yourself to not give up when the going gets tough.

A facility like ours just doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. Even people who've been to the Shaolin Temple have told me how it doesn't compare.

Up to now our camp has been reserved to our own private students, up until now most people outside martial art circles don't even know our camp exists.

But that will change this year and next. Our facility is big enough and equipped enough to hold a variety of different events that are either martial art related or geared purely for personal development and leadership training.

If students of martial arts schools around the world only knew what we had here in our little town of Casselman, many would flock here for the experience.

Everyone should get to live this experience at least once in their martial art life.

It's not impossible that you see another opportunity to be part of the Trainign Camp experience this year.

I'll keep you posted and I'll upload more pictures from this year's camp tomorrow.

Master Yourself,

Event of the Year

Training Camp !

It's the most anticipated event of the year. Some of our students eagerly await this weekend 12 months ahead of time.

I don't know which one is better getting to tell your fellow students I DID IT! or proving to yourself you had what it took to make it through the experience, crystallizing the feeling of personal accomplishment and bringing it to an all time high.

At the end of the camp most students can't believe all the things they've done over the course of 3 short days.

The energy you acquire from being a part of something like this is quite amazing.

You can use the camp to follow through on goals you've slacked off on, or during the many personal development drills we cover during the camp you can discover a new calling, change your career, find out if you're really doing what you love as far as your job goes and are you happy with the choices you've made in your life.

The camp touches so many aspects of your life, not just the mental/internal but the physical as well.

The camp has a way to help you find that inner strength that resides in all of us, just when you think of giving up, something inside you says: "Not yet, just a little more"

What could YOU do with a little more discipline and a never give up kind of attitude?

I'm thinking a whole lot.

Perfect health.

Strong body and mind.

Walking the path of Mastery.

Never settling for second best.

Absolutely no fear of failure.

Living a life of meaning and fulfillment.

And that's just the beginning.

The event I'm talking about is starting tomorrow at 6:30 pm.

If you're ready and motivated to acquire some of the things I've been telling you about, you can do so here.

This event happens only once a year, do not miss out.

Master Yourself,

Sibok M
