It’s back! Here for the 2nd year running the ‘Female Fighters’ camp is back at The Dojo, Kendal. The best chance for ladies to train with other like-minded ladies and learn from some of the best female grapplers around.
Last year….
Was the first time the camp had been run in its’ current format and it went even better than expected!
This years’ camp will continue to grow and expand on the experience of last years’.
Technical and sparring sessions; conditioning activities; educational workshops; and all mixed with a decent dose of social activities.
Take part in as little or as much as you want, no experience necessary*.
The Venue
The Dojo in Kendal is a permanent training venue for Kendal Judo Club and boasts the actual mats used at the 2012 Olympic Games.
Over the years the venue has hosted the GB Olympic team, the Oceania Olympic team, the England Commonwealth team and the first UK Female Fighters Camp!
Accommodation on site is available – just the basic porta -cabin style, but what else do you need!?
The town centre is a 10 min walk away and there is ample parking on site.
There is plenty of alternative accommodation nearby and the town itself is very picturesque, sitting just on the edge of the Lake district.
