Field of Activities: Sports Activities and Martial Arts

He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is strength itself. Tao Te King

On a regular basis, New Acropolis centers organize Olympic Games, tournaments and other sports events. In these events, the opportunity is given not only to people who are better prepared physically; anyone can challenge himself/herself and test his/her will power and personal growth, above and beyond victory or defeat.
The harmonic ideal of “healthy mind and healthy spirit” is a magnificent educational method for building character and developing self-esteem. Either in athletic competitions, in collective games or in adventure sports, or following the philosophical path taught by martial arts, personal effort is a source of friendship, camaraderie, vitality and concentration.
