The art of finding balance

I'm feelin' your overwhelmedness. I started studying for my first exam today, and I'm actually glad I started today because DEAR LORD it's a lot of stuff I'm having to wade through.
What do you do in karate camp?
^_^
Karate camp is fun - according to Zoë and Jed. Seán, on the other hand, loathes and detests them. I'm expecting to enjoy it immensely.
They hold one each year up near Christchurch - mainly for the South Island clubs but any Seido member can attend and there are often a few from overseas.
It's Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. And you just do lots and lots of karate and do what you are told to do all day and all night. You are not allowed watches and so have no idea of what time it is. One highlight is being roused in the middle of the night to do 1,000 kicks? I think you just wear your gi all day and all night.
It's apparently quite social and you get to know other karatekas from around the country. Sounds like ball to me. Best thing is you can count it as eight lessons towards your next grading.
