Beach Camp
Based on the Eastern concept of shugyo, a Japanese term for physical and spiritual cleansing through intensive physical training, Beach Camp is an annual Tae Kwon Do retreat held at North Carolina’s Sunset Beach. CHCTKD students spend three days exercising on the beach in sun and rain: each full day is made up of four two-hour workouts, consisting of training in poomse (forms), basics, self-defense, and sparring. Special workouts every year include: the midnight run, the 1000 push-ups session, greeting the sunrise with two hours of basic form, and the three hours of board breaking.
Attendance is voluntary for color belts but mandatory for black belt candidates. Children attend by invitation only.
