 Thorpe Hall was constructed in 1887 by the Indian students. The
facility was enlarged in 1895, renovated in 1976 and in 2001 went
through an extensive modification that included updating interior
finishes and altering the structure to meet
the changing demands of fitness today.
Whether you are looking for the latest equipment, personal trainers, or
a variety of exercise classes, Thorpe Hall has it all for you. You'll
find all the amenities you need in an environment that makes you feel at
home, regardless of your fitness level.
The mission of the U.S. Army Combatives School is to train Leaders and Soldiers in close quarters Combatives in order to instill the Warrior Ethos and prepare Soldiers to close with and defeat the enemy in hand to hand combat.
The Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) started in 1995 with the 2nd Ranger Battalion and has spread at the grass roots around the Army. It has been incorporated into the new FM 3-25.150 (AKO Account Required) and Basic Combatives is one of the Forty Warrior Core Tasks of the Warrior Ethos initiative.

Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art that uses bare feet and hands as weapons. The literal translation is "the art of kicking and punching." Commonly called "Korean Karate," Tae Kwon Do is similar to karate in many ways, including its use of colored belts, ranging from white through black, to show rank.
Students will earn numerous benefits from the study of this class. They will learn how to effectively defend themselves from potential harm, increase their physical and mental fitness, and improve their balance and coordination. Students will also learn patience and respect towards others and, most importantly, toward themselves. |
