For Saturday after event activities suggestions:
Boxing - unless someone is musically inclined to bring their instrument to serenade all of us, I'm planning on bringing a set of boxing gloves and Focus Mitts for fun & instruction. (US vs German) No hard punches just light with protective headgear. General John J. (blackjack) Pershing used to entertain his Buffalo Soldiers in the Philippine Campaign because he believed it builds character and good morale for his troops. The Philippine Scouts used to beat those guys (Irish-style of boxing) with Philippine style of boxing of Jab, cross and hook punches which were derived from double knife techniques. Thus the western boxing was born or should I say "Eastern Boxing". ;D Famous Marine Medal of Honor recipient John (Manila) Basilone was an undefeated boxer for the US. Army SGT in the Philippines prior to the war.
Other suggestions which will be period correct:
Basic knife Instructions - up in the air unless someone wants to. I'll be bring non-lethal training knives
Judo throws - don't worry nobody is slamming anyone.
Soccer Ball or Football - Can someone bring those? Would be fun to have a US vs Germany soccer or flag-football.
If you can't get excited doing those, don't know what will...
;D
If you have a talent to share with us at camp now is the time to speak up.
