Today marked Day #5 of our Judo Kangeiko (mid-winter training) camp at Ascension Athletics.
Kangeiko is 100+ year old judo tradition to challenge students both physically and mentally with early morning, cold, intense training to develop indomitable fighting spirit.
For 10 days straight we train from 5am to 6:30am. Today it was 13° when Kobie and I left the house. This experience on it's own has been incredible, but the fact that I get to do it alongside my son makes it extra special. My son always makes me proud, but the spirit he has shown through this training experience has been incredible. From going to bed earlier with his training hear and school clothes packed up and ready to go to waking up at 4:30am to go train...and train hard, like really hard lol. This is just another incredible memory we will have together in our martial arts journey.
Thank you for bringing this tradition and intense training to 🥋
