What is it?
The summercamp is an annual international event hosted by the Norwegian Krav Maga Federation. It gives partictioners a chance to come and train intensively for 6 days with both new and old students. The 14th annual international summercamp will be held in Bodoe, at the National Training Centre. In Bodoe the days are very long during the summer and so will our training be, so you will recieve 6 months of trainig crammed into 6 intensive days. But you will have fun and meet new friends. The previous years has seen participants and instructors from many different countries. Camp Norway 2012 is open for participants from all KM organizations and new KM trainees. The camp is hosted by english speaking instructors.
This years instructors in-charge of the event are Rune Lind (expert level and director of KMG-N), Ole Boe (expert level and expert on psycology and stress reactions), Elisabeth Holmstroem, Anders Hilling and more. There will also be many more instructors and assistant instructors participating.

What will be covered?
Material covered this year will be both basics and more advanced training including reality training outdoors. The summercamp is open for beginners as well as students and instructors. For instructors and high level students there will be a emphesis on fighting. You need to bring equipment for this. In the end of the camp there will be a possibility for level testing. During the camp we will try to combine some of the training sections with some summerly social activeties outside. The course is very intense and packed with training. You will learn a lot. One of the major themes this year is understanding and building upon your natural reaction to stress through knowledge and drills. We have expert Ole Boe to host this subjects, and his lectures are worth the trip alone. Very few people in Europe has done the level of research Ole has.
