Semmy Schilt at the camp in Varna: I want you to be conductors in the ring

The second training session on the opening day of the KWU International Professional League’s camp in Varna (March 19-21) was conducted in an extremely high mood.

This is the third edition of the master class in 2021, as the previous one in February was with international participation. The camp with the legends Peter Aerts and Semmy Schilt is held in the Palace of Culture and Sports and will last until Sunday.

“I want you to be conductors in the ring,” Schilt said as he demonstrated the movements of a baton with his hands.

The legend whistled part of Mozart’s “Allegro” and made the fighters smile. The whole session went in a similar spirit, as the athletes combined healthy doses of sparring and difficult exercises with friendly jokes.

“You are not opponents – the person against you is your partner. The opponent is in the ring,” said the elite referee Krassimir Dimov.

The fighters were divided into two groups again, with Schilt’s focus on the destruction of the opponent’s game and the improvisation. The four-time K-1 heavyweight champion said it is sometimes good to use “ugly methods”. Schilt showed how to push the opponent with hands, body, or kick.
