3 Months of Kyokushinkai Karate 'Kan Geiko' training by Kyoshi Patrick Baas
This year we hold a Kan Geiko, or Karate cold winter training, from December 2022 until the end of Februari 2023. Every week 11 students join me in this weekly ritual that starts at 06.30 in the morning in the cold and dark woods and in ice cold water. This day I went alone cause I had to miss a training due to flu. After the 'Kan Geiko' training I moved on to my dojo were I continued with 'Hojo Undo' or weight lifting and body conditioning training and finished it with a 5,5 km. run session. Training sessions like these give an animalistic kind of energy and make you feel completely reborn afterwards. That means mentaly, physicly and spiritualy. We realy love this alldough people who do not practise Karate can hardly understand.
