Liver Punch Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 In our art, testing isn't so much of a super-formalized event (particularly for the higher ranks) as it is a meeting of current students, former students, black belts from near and far, as well as people from associated schools. As grueling and painful as tests are, some of us have decided that we're gluttons for punishment and have therefore come up with an extracurricular activity for nothing more than the fun of it.The idea of the Bujin Challenge is to encompass everything that makes up our system as well as some other things that are just plain cool. So, we take all of that, squeeze it into 24 hours of hell, and drink heavily at the end of the whole thing.It begins with a several mile hike through a heavily wooded area followed by the construction of two camps several hundred yards apart. Once the camp is set up, target practice for firearms, bows, knives, and other assorted items will take place. This will be promptly followed by the running of an obstacle course - the content of which will range from painful to impossible. Once night falls we will seperate into our two teams: each with their own campsite, and all armed with rubber training knives and foam padded training clubs. Night watch will run in shifts and night time attacks will inevitability take place...repeatedly.The next morning will feature a mid-distance canoe trip, an urban run, and then a trip to a warehouse for weapon exercises and tactics. An additional urban run will end at the dojo. Once there it's several hours of holds, locks, wrestling, grappling, clinch fighting, training knife fighting, weapon disarms, and sparring.24 hours after the event began it will end, and...I'll be enjoying an adult beverage or two.

Groinstrike Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hopefully by the end of this we will be good a sleep deprived, so sparring and grappling in that state should be fairly interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
