What is it?
The summercamp is an annual event hosted by the International
Krav Maga Federations norwegian branch. It gives
partictioners a chance to come and train intensively
for 6 days with both new and old students. The 11th
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 10 different countries.
Who are the instructors?
This years instructors in-charge of the event are

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.
