CSSD Warrior Weekend Information:
What to Bring!
You are packing for Friday Night, all day Saturday and Sunday morning.
This is a list of items that will help to make your weekend run smoothly...
This list was last updated with the help of Kory Helfman, 2009 thanks Kory!
New ranks at
Warrior Weekend 2008
Things to bring:
Important: Please bring a blow up mattress if you have one
- Test reports. If this is your first test then just the
KENPO report. If this is under Black Belt (Mudansha) then just the relevant
BOOK report. If you are testing for Black Belt (Yudansha) then you need
both a BOOK report and a FOUNDERS
report. Yes, they need to be typed. No you can't hand
it in late (it will be read by the examination board) Yes, you can
stay up all night on Friday and write it... (ask one of our pastors for
help... they are experienced in this!)
- Typed test material. One for you and one for Shihan and the
testing board.
- Full Gi, Belt, sneakers, etc. You will be getting very wet, so
bring some old ratty sneakers for Battle Beach. The open toe and
flip flop idea has been tried and discarded since rocks and things get
sucked under your feet.
- Maybe a second Gi for when the first one is wet and stinky... or a
hanger to let the first one dry out!
- A small backpack is a good idea since we will go offsite at times.
Things to put in it include: water, sunscreen, bug spray, towel, snacks,
old sneakers, etc.
- Towels, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, changes of clothes, etc.
- Film, camera, video recorder, batteries, etc.
- Drinks: water: bring a case of water or a 1 gallon container w/ water
bottle to refill. Sports drinks are recommended as well.
Remember, it is still very hot in early October.
- Don't forget your belt...Replacements are $25 for white to green, $40
for brown and $50 for Black...
- Did I mention snacks?
- Flashlights.
- Ear plugs! No, not for shooting, for sleeeeping!
- Bug spray, citronella candles.
- Don't just throw everything in the car, prepare for this like any trip
and pack it in a suitcase, bag or trash bag (be careful, these have been
thrown away by mistake). Inside, consider bringing...
