On September 24th and 25th a small group from American Taekwondo & Fitness attended the Stephen Lambdin Olympic Training Camp in Stevens Point, WI.  

Stephen Lambdin recently competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics in the heavyweight division, and is a 19 time national team member.  He has competed all over the world, and was once ranked 7th in the world in his division.

His experience and passion for the art was evident from the start.  The camp was broken up by age groups on the Saturday sessions, and an elite session on Sunday.  Although all the attendees received a good workout, the focus of the camp was based on content.  Lambdin's goal for the camp was for everyone to leave smarter and better equipped to win competitions.  Each group practiced similar exercises and drills with the intention of making us better overall athletes.  At the end of each session all participants got some in-ring practice, and Lamdin even got into the mix.  

A special thank you Master Steve Decker and Five Rings Martial Arts for organizing the event, and inviting us.
