Jokokan's instructor camp 2003 was special as it was directly targeted at the future Jokokan "Soke Sensei Tonegawa training camp". The well-motivated participants had to be optimally prepared technically and mentally for this camp.

The instructor training camp was from 4.kyu to 5.dan. The training camp was organized for maximum mental pressure in the border area, so that the participant only had the opportunity to be himself and not be nervous about seeking sparring and coaching from his equally stressed colleagues.

The training camp, which spanned 2 days, was a little too much of a success for its purpose, as most of the participants were already under so much pressure mentally and physically after the first day that the following day's training could only be carried out with the mobilization of an energy that many of the participants did not believe they possessed. The first day's training was therefore far more technically focused than the last day's training. But everyone was now prepared, ready and up to speed for Jokokan's upcoming SST-03 camp.
