For sure, all training and sessions are optional. We are here to test and push our limits, but we also need to honour ourselves and notice when we need to take a break. This camp is about learning to manage ourselves, and part of that is knowing when to push, and when to pull back and keep ourselves safe, injury free, and on the mats.
-
We will strictly limit the participants to 20-25 to ensure everyone can get to know each other and have plenty of time with each of the coaches.
