DAILY SCHEDULE
ACTIVITIES
Taekwondo – From Korea: Meaning "The way of the hand and foot", is a modern martial art that is characterized by its fast, high and spinning kicks. It combines combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, and in some cases meditation and philosophy. In 1989, Taekwondo was the world's most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners. Gyeorugi, a type of sparring, has been an Olympic event since 2000. On your left you can see a picture showing a competitor in blue scoring points with an axe kick technique. Participants will be introduced to many of the basic elements of this art such as etiquette, traditional blocks, strikes, movements, breaking and Olympic style sparring.
Boxing – Often called "the manly art of self-defense," is a sport in which two competitors try to hit each other with their glove-encased fists while trying to avoid each other's blows. Today, the skills derived from boxing are essential self-defense tools for everyone to have. Participants will be introduced to the basic movements, punches and defenses associated with boxing. The picture to the right from the U.S Navy Imagery collection shows that boxing is not just a manly art of self-defense anymore.en called "the manly art of self-defense," is a sport in which two competitors try to hit each other with their glove-encased fists while trying to avoid each other's blows.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self-defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo (which itself is derived from Japanese Jujutsu) in the early 20th century. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique. Shown to the left is a picture of Royce Gracie, one of the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, demonstrating technique.
Yoga - Which originated in ancient India, has become a popular system of physical exercise across the Western world. The physical postures of yoga are used to alleviate health problems, reduce stress and increase flexibility. Yoga will conclude the daily activities in order to promote flexibility and to help participants wind down before the leadership workshop.
