Team Training: What to bring and expect

• Conditioning drills including sprints, games, wall sits, planks, (think Field Day on steroids but indoors)
• Athletes of all ages and experiences levels led by Coaches JJ, Thierry, Cyndy, Justin, Parth, and others (we have heard good rumors about new coaches…)
• Karate-specific drills for kata and kumite
• a new journal will practice-specific writing prompts, courtesy of the TBK Booster Club!
• Team photo of everyone who trains!

• Rest, eat, drink like an athlete. That means hydrate with plenty of plain water (cold or room temperature) the day before (Friday), stay off the caffeinated  sweet drinks, eat a normal dinner, and definitely, have breakfast before 9:30 AM at the latest.
• Do not be nervous, there is nothing that is super hard, just a few new things, set in a motivating tone that makes you want to be faster and smarter than your old self

• practice karate uniform
• sparring gear if you have mitts, mouthguard, helmet
• jump rope (Sensei JJ wants everyone to buy a thin jump rope, like the black one, NOT the kids jump rope (see picture below)
• extra workout clothes – Tshirt, shorts or loose pants, socks
• running shoes
• water bottle
• light snack (like an apple and cheese stick, or orange and pretzels/crackers)
• spirit and an open mind

• come in T shirt, shorts with running shoes, bring the items above.
