Kokoro Camp Standards

We have published updated Kokoro Camp Standards to help you understand just what you are getting into when you start your training for Kokoro.  We don’t want there to be any confusion as to what we are doing here.  This is not a “SEAL experience” alone…it is an event unlike any other that will test you to your core.  We want to prevent injuries as well as people holding their team back.  The work-load at Kokoro camp was described by an Iron Man athlete as “3 back to back Iron Men races, without rest.” Prepare well.

Prerequisites for a graduate certificate will be tested within the first few hours of the camp. They include:

• 50 push ups (40 for women), 50 sit-ups and 50 air squats in 2 minutes
• 10 dead hang pullups for men, 6 women
• 1 mile run in boots and utility pants on road in 9:30
• Body Armor (aka Murph) with 20# pack (15# for women): 1 hour and 10 minutes maximum

Endurance standards to guide your preparation (not tested for performance, but completion):

• 10 mile run in less than 1:20
• 20 mile ruck hike with load in less than 6 hours

Two event failure (PST or Murph) will result in a drop from the course and refusal to perform any event will be considered a non-verbal drop.  Note we highly recommend that you ramp up your endurance and stamina training. A standard CrossFit or SOF Prep training regimen will not suffice. You should run a marathon or half Iron Man and spend considerable time rucking with load. Please contact us if you are not clear about the physical demands of this program. Should you fail to meet the standards and are rolled you will receive only a certification of attendance, not a Certificate of Graduation with accompanying SEALFIT Black Shirt. You will be invited to train with your new knowledge and come back to challenge Kokoro Camp again in the future.

Black Shirt graduates have the potential to pursue intern positions and the SEALFIT Mastery program, as outlined on our web site.

Good luck!  — Coach Divine
