Jukaado goes International!!!!! - The Jukaado Story.

We are very happy with the response we have been receiving from martial artists world wide with regards to our training. It is this positive feedback from all of them that has given us the confidence to take this step of spreading Jukaado as a martial art Internationally. There have been a few martial artists particularly, who we have never met in person but they have really been there to support and promote Jukaado in as many ways as they can.

It should be known that neither of us had prepared for training so long nor did we ever try it before. Last camp we did 12 hours nonstop training so this camp we planned taking on the 24 hours challenge. May be next camp it will be 36 hours. All the students have trained exceptionally well and it is truly a blessing to have all of them training at Jukaado.  We started the challenge with immersing our full bodies in cold ice water. We used 200 kgs of ice and after sitting in the ice water for 10 minutes we would come out and do the kata Sanchin then go in the ice water again. Then followed a troublesome 4.5 hour trek with logs of wood on the shoulders and lots of burpees and leg raises in intervals.  We did a lot of different exercises but it was not possible to s...
