Martial Arts at Wrocław's marathon
This year's 32nd Wrocław Marathon attracted a record number of competitors. There was no doubts that representatives of The World Games 2017 would attend at such a great event.
Due to the fact that the starting and finishing line were placed at the Olympic Stadium (which is one of TWG 2017 venues), organizers also prepared additional attractions for fans waiting for runners. They were assisted by fighters from Wrocław’s Club Boi Team who presented another The World Games 2017 discipline - Ju-Jitsu. Athlets also proposed a training with the audience.
Everything stays on the mat
A fighting mat appeared in front of TWG 2017 tent. After the presentation, under a watchful eye of professionals, two training sessions for the youngest fans were organized. The program included: warm-up, lessons how to belay during the fall, and at the end - simulated fight. For each participant representatives of TWG 2017 prepared a set of gifts, as a reward for taking part in exercises.
