Devon Course For the past few year's Zen-Shin students have had the opportunity to go on special intensive training weekends at the Haven holiday homes in the Devon Cliffs. This gives students the chance to practise their martial arts in new and inspiring surroundings. No single training trip is ever quite the same. Caravans for the weekend Students who go on these trips stay in caravans, which are available for up to eight people. Parents and friends are welcome and you can choose who you want to stay with. There is usually a stretch off on the first night just to loosen everyone up after the journey. This leaves you free to relax or go to the clubs afterwards and settle in to your caravan. The next day begins early with a jog down to the beach at around 7:00 am. If the weather is good then students get to train on the beach just under the cliff tops. There are regular training events all through the weekend giving the students time to work on elements of their martial arts with a host of Sensei's. Rise & Shine! - Early Morning Jog Fun & games By the time the students leave Devon after the weekend they have developed their stamina and have a new insight into their martial arts. Devon trips are suitable for all grades and well worth attending. Of course the weekend is not all about hard work it's a lot of fun to. And there are plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the facilities available in and around the site. Enjoy the sites, have a drink or go to a club at night.
