BSKF Summer Camp 2025

Last weekend was the BSKF Summer Camp – a whole weekend of Kempo fun!

We trained hard on Saturday and Sunday, learning from some of the top teachers in the country. As well as the usual basics and techniques, there were special sessions on ukemi (rolling) and both goho and juho randori (sparring, with punches and grabs).

Of course, the fun was not confined to training. Saturday evening saw us at a local restaurant, indulging in a delicious curry.

These events are a wonderful way to meet and train with students from other dojos, to make new friends, and to reconnect with old ones.

Highly recommended!
