The main "monk" - the president of the school "Hsin-Ho-Men" Alexander Raduntsev. The coach, who had not zabaluesh and at the same time he is very caring teacher.

A month later, tired but at the same time vzbodrennye, became strong and happy campers go home. A year later, one of them will come back here. Will return again to test themselves on the strength.
