Selce - Crikvenica Summer Training Camp [Training camp is full - Registration is closed!]

We have first organized the summer training camp in Crikvenica in 2010 and this year it will open its doors for the 10th time to more than 600 judoka from over 20 countries.

The camp is suitable for judoka above 12 years of age. The training sessions will be split into three groups, under 16 years of age, men over 16 years of age and women over 16 years of age. Last year more than 600 judoka from 20 countries were present and this year we expect a similar number of people.

The training sessions will take place under a large tent with 700 m2 of tatami. After a hard randori session, there is nothing better than a quick jump into the clear waters of the Adriatic sea, which is only 20 meters from the training tent.

The focus of the camp is on learning new technique through randori and instruction from great coaches such as Evgeny Lvov from Russia who will also be the camp leader. The second part of the camp is going to be focused on practicing kata under the leadership of Mr. Piero Comino and others. We will put special focus on Nage-no-kata and Katame-no-kata for all who wish to learn for their national 1st and 2nd DAN grade examinations. There will also be more specific training for all kata competitors.

During the summer camp, we will hold friendly competitions: a golden score tournament, a football tournament, and a kata tournament.

On a day of rest, we will organize a boat trip for all the coaches and accompanying persons to one of the nearby islands, where you will be able to try the local cuisine and wines.

To register please fill out the entry form and send it back to us as soon as possible. Due to the considerable interest, we will consider the applications on a first come - first serve basis. After our capacities are filled we will close the registration.

Welcome to Crikvenica.
