Ninjas Put to the Test

Martial Artists Fighting Hunger This Saturday!

The Tae Kwon Do Club at UCF is  hosting a martial arts challenge in the Ferrell Commons Auditorium at the University to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. The major sponsor is comBATON, the martial team sport who also sponsored the event last year. Martial artists of all ages and levels can participate in the event in which athletes are timed in a sequence of challenges.

The 6 challenge course includes physical accuracy, jumping, kicking, sprinting, agility, takedowns. As a example of a challenge, the takedown requires the contestant to kick a grappling dummy held by a official and execute a full takedown.

Registration starts at 8 am August 28, 2010 at UCF’s Ferrell Commons Auditorium located on Gemini Blvd. South at the University of Central Florida.
