On Friday March 11th, the Year 10 PE students enjoyed a trip to La Laguna to participate in two different sports.
In the good company of Sensei Ricardo from Dojo Gym Viana and the assistance of our teacher Mr. Sosa del Rosario, we were introduced to the martial arts of Jiu Jitsu. Under his command and with demonstrations of the different techniques like that of O Goshi, we learned a lot about this sport which is of Japanese origin and is part of the modern combat system of personal defence.
After having enjoyed the training, we left for Complejo Deportivo San Benito, where the gym instructor and coordinator Rayco engaged us in a class of Body Pump and Body Combat. We learned fast and energetic movements and at the same time we put all of our muscles to the test. We did this using the correct techniques for exercises like the bench press or the weightlifting snatch.
It was a complete and fun day in which we all benefited from something as beautiful and necessary as sport.
