International and training camp, March 2008 |
In the Competition there were 29 countries, with some weights having
more then 100 players. It was possible to have 7 fights and still
not get a medal. It was quite an intimidating event for players
who have not fought there before. The WCT squad did not win any
medals this year, but we had a 5th place from Lucus Rowe,
and 7th places from Joshua Hill and Luke Taylor. What these results
do not tell you about is the many excellent performances our players
produced, often against older, more experience players.
450 players stayed for the camp, providing a unique randori training
opportunity for players, giving them experience of the different
fighting styles of varius nations, and the opportunity to get on
with the medallists. Our boys demonstrated a superb attitude and
focus during this camp, and seemed excited as their confidence grew,
as they started to work out ways of catching their opponents, and
developing different ways to get around the difficulties (e.g. gripping,
strength, stance etc) that they were having.
