Shihan Shibata 6. Dan was also this summer’s main instructor on the 36. summercamp in Tromsø, this was his 7. time in Tromsø and he is still going strong. This year he brought with him two of his very talented junior students that were really a boost for our young students.
The camp took place in Tromsø Kyokushin dojo and over 70 students took part. Most of the students were from our own dojo, but we had visitors from other Norwegian dojo`s.
Shihan gave instructions in kihon, ido geiko, kata and kumite, but this year he focused on the kumite part, speed was priority number one along with timing. As his teaching always is with high quality class 1 Thursday and 3 Friday and 3 Saturday.
There was also a black belt class on Saturday where Shihan gave instructions in advanced kumite.
This year we had the technical test Saturday evening because of the kumite test following morning for the Dan candidates.
Sunday was kumite test witch 5 students took part in, 2 for Nidan and 3 for Shodan.
Sunday evening we had sayonara party with good food.
We were happy with the camp and we wish Shihan welcome back.
