Big Black Mountain Challenge SATURDAY MAY 15th 2010
Part of our training for black belt includes
the Big Black Mountain Challenge. Each year members of Cotterill
Martial Arts, leave their dojo in Shrewsbury for a 30 mile walk over the Brecon Beacons in Wales.
As well as being fun and challenging, this also raises funds for
the mountain rescue team.
This year applications must be in by 17th April 2010
A grading weekend enables the participants, upon satisfactory completion
of the weekend to attain the next belt level. It allows the keen student
an opportunity to 'fast track' up one belt. Attaining a belt level
generally takes around 3 months following the normal schedule. But don't
make the mistake of thinking that a grading weekend is an easy option. The
weekend is designed to offer a real fitness challenge. Each day begins
with a 3 mile run along the picturesque Wenlock Edge, followed by an
intensive class of revision at the CMA dojo in Shrewsbury. The detailed
schedule is as follows,
Saturday, 3 mile run begins at 12noon, followed at 1.30 by a 45 minute
revision class. . The day concluded with a very light contact sparring
test. Each participant doing a set of 8 x 1 minute rounds, aiming to
finish by 4pm.
Sunday, beginning at 9.30am, a 3 mile run along Wenlock edge, followed
at 11.30 by a 45 min revision class at the CMA dojo in Shrewsbury. At
12.30 the tag tests begins, aiming to finish at 2pm at the latest.
