Wooster Urban Adventure ChallengeSaturday, June 21, 2014, 8:00 a.m., Wayne County Fairgrounds

The Wooster Urban Adventure Challenge is a race that requires not only your physical game but you will need to bring your mental game as well. Teams of 2-3

participants must solve clues to find checkpoints through the city of Wooster, OH. Teams will travel by foot and bike throughout the city.

The course will remain secret until the day of the event when teams of two or three participants (at least 18 years old) must solve clues to find checkpoints throughout

the City of Wooster. The biggest obstacle for anyone considering the Wooster Urban Challenge is overcoming fear of the unknown and participating in a fresh, unique

event where the outcome is uncertain and the challenges are not described in detail prior to the event.

 

Registration fees: Teams of two cost $100

Teams of three cost $125All proceeds will benefit People To People Ministries.

 

The race is limited to the first 80 teams to register and registration can be easily completed via a link found online at http://woosterurbanadventure.org

Water exercise is a great way to get the benefits of a fitness workout without the sweat and usual injury risks. It reduces the burden on stress-bearing joints and muscles making it less likely to cause injury or muscle soreness. Water exercise burns calories, builds cardio endurance; and increases muscle strength, flexibility and lung capacity. The movement of water against and over the body results in both massage and relaxation providing a calming effect. It’s also more discreet than other forms of exercise because it’s performed under water! So why wait--take the plunge! (This co-rec class is held in shallow water. Sandals or water shoes are suggested for locker rooms.)

Kung fu (also called wushu) is a Chinese martial art emphasizing flexibility and the use of internal force. Chinese kung fu began in the Shaolin Temple around 527 C.E. and is almost 2,000 years old. There are many different types of kung fu; some imitate animals such as the dragon, snake, mantis or crane, while others are named for a type of movement, like the northern long fist routines. Kung fu movements are circular and rely on internal force to generate power. Kung fu students are trained in striking with hands and feet, shuai jiao close quarters grappling and chin na (joint-locking and manipulation). Intermediate and advanced students may receive instruction in Chinese weapons including the staff, spear, broadsword, straight sword, halberd, etc. The kung fu program at the Wooster Community Center provides instruction in traditional Pai Lum Tao kung fu. Our program is designed to accommodate students of all ages and experience levels. No prior martial arts training is necessary, and family group participation is encouraged.

Instructor BiographySifu Joshua Blakeslee has been training in the martial arts for over 20 years. Sifu Joshua, is a direct student of Grandmaster Glenn C. Wilson and a member in good standing of the Pai Lum Tao International White Dragon Warrior Society (W.D.W.S.). Sifu Joshua is the Ohio State W.D.W.S. representative and has served as the W.D.W.S. state representative for Indiana and Rhode Island; and the head instructor of the Malone’s Gymnastics Kung Fu/Wushu program in Lafayette, Indiana. In addition to Pai Lum Tao Kung Fu, Tai Chi & Qigong, Sifu Joshua has trained in: Chank chuan (longfist) kung fu, eagle claw kung fu, wing chung kung fu, Shorin-ryu and Goju-ryu karate and Korean art of Chungmudo.

Tai chi chuan and qigong are Chinese internal arts focused on generating and channeling internal energy, or qi (pronounced “chee”), throughout the body to generate force and promote health. The movements of tai chi and qigong are smooth, steady and circular. Tai chi and qigong students are trained in breathing exercised, fluidity drills and qi-building exercises. The slower pace and more gentle movements of tai chi and qigong routines make these arts particularly well suited for adults and seniors interested in increasing flexibility, range of movement or lung capacity.

Instructor BiographySifu Joshua Blakeslee has been training in the martial arts for over 20 years. Sifu Joshua, is a direct student of Grandmaster Glenn C. Wilson and a member in good standing of the Pai Lum Tao International White Dragon Warrior Society (W.D.W.S.). Sifu Joshua is the Ohio State W.D.W.S. representative and has served as the W.D.W.S. state representative for Indiana and Rhode Island; and the head instructor of the Malone’s Gymnastics Kung Fu/Wushu program in Lafayette, Indiana. In addition to Pai Lum Tao Kung Fu, Tai Chi & Qigong, Sifu Joshua has trained in: Chank chuan (longfist) kung fu, eagle claw kung fu, wing chung kung fu, Shorin-ryu and Goju-ryu karate and Korean art of Chungmudo.

Water exercise is a great way to get the benefits of a fitness workout without the sweat and usual injury risks. It reduces the burden on stress-bearing joints and muscles making it less likely to cause injury or muscle soreness. Water exercise burns calories, builds cardio endurance; and increases muscle strength, flexibility and lung capacity. The movement of water against and over the body results in both massage and relaxation providing a calming effect. It’s also more discreet than other forms of exercise because it’s performed under water! So why wait--take the plunge! (This co-rec class is held in shallow water. Sandals or water shoes are suggested for locker rooms.)
