2026 Schedule / Itinerary

Tentative Training Schedule (subject to slight changes)

  • Saturday, August 15 (Climb) – Acclimation day at B-PUMP Ogikubo. This will be an opportunity for the Japanese athletes and the USA/International athletes to meet and connect. It is highly recommended you arrive the day before as traveling all day and heading straight to the gym can be a lot. This will also be a great time to potentially coordinate with your new friends activities for Sunday! 🙂

  • Monday–Tuesday, August 17–18 (Climb x 2) – Intensive training and performance block with Katsu, Tsukuru, Mickey, Jeremy, and Brett, along with additional guest coaches (to be announced). This will be 2, 6+ hour training days.
