Activists held an assembly for the purpose of training the mind, body, and spirit of the organization. The event included boxing and grappling tournaments, drilling, physical training, workshops, seminars, and presentations. Through collective action and shared hardship, members of the organization were able to commit fully to testing their limits of physical prowess, intellectual diligence, and ideological devotion.
The grass turned to mud, and bloody noses speckled the sandbags.
In this remote location, among rolling hills and dense forest, the Front was able to claim space like never before. This was a piece of soil in our continent that was transformed for the purpose of the nation's cause. The grounds had been prepared for weeks with shovel, sweat, and toil. Provisions were organized to feed well over a hundred attendees. Awnings, tents, and tables dotted the landscape. Rural dirt roads experienced their first ever traffic jam as activists poured in from all around the country. Before long, the clearing of the woods buzzed with the activity of an army in a spiritual war for survival.
At the dawn of the first day all were awakened to shouts and lights, to test quick responses under shocking circumstances, and within minutes the whole body was in motion for morning PT. The test was passed. What would follow in the day were a series of classes and workshops on radio use, the ideological principles of nationhood, and defensive shield drills.
After five hours of intense fighting, four were announced victorious.
The following day hosted the boxing and grappling tournament. Sandbag rings took the place of the previous day's workshop tables and chairs, and scores of participants fought in dozens of bouts. The grass turned to mud, and bloody noses speckled the sandbags. After five hours of intense fighting, four were announced victorious in their respective categories and given awards. More workshops on first aid, activism planning, and personal fitness followed, and the day concluded with an award ceremony and seminar on the virtues of leadership.
This event was the first of its kind within the organization, and stands in contrast to many other events that take a more public facing angle. Members of the organization are the forefront of the very nation our ideals aim to defend, and to improve. As that is the case, the lessons learned in classes, and the strength of brotherhood and body gained in martial competition serves to bolster the quality of the nation's foremost advocates. These improvements that the organization seeks for its members radiate out through their lives, families, and communities. Organizing in an idealistic collective of patriots gives a man confidence, courage, virtue, and discipline. All of these are invaluable assets to a man in any moment of his life, and this great assembly of patriotic hearts has proven not only the organization's commitment to these things, but its effective success in forging the parallel "nation within a nation" that must precede our inevitable sovereignty.
