Strive Taekwondo Hits Sicily: A Summer of Sweat, Sparring & Sunshine

Mazara Del Vallo, Sicily

It blends Arab-Norman heritage, vibrant fishing traditions, historic kasbah, and Mediterranean coastal charm beautifully.

Every summer (01.07.2025 - 08.07.2025), something special happens on the sun-kissed shores of Mazara del Vallo, Sicily. We team up with the incredible local squad, Taekwondo 2000, for a week-long sparring camp that’s become more than just a tradition—it’s a highlight of our year.

Under the expert guidance of the great Vito Marino and the ever-inspiring Coach Vincenzo Giametta, athletes from both teams come together not just to train, but to grow. Morning sessions are all about building strength and endurance, while evenings are reserved for what we love most—sparring. The energy is electric, the kicks are sharp, and the camaraderie is unmatched.

But this camp isn’t just about physical grit. Coach Vincenzo brings a whole new level of depth with his insightful sessions on periodisation training. His knowledge don’t just benefit the athletes—they inspire our coaches too. It’s a week of learning, pushing limits, and sharing knowledge in the most beautiful setting imaginable.

This year is extra special—it marks our first official international event as Strive Taekwondo. And what better way to kick it off than with our extended Taekwondo family in Sicily?

Between the sweat, the sea, and the shared passion for the sport, this camp has become a cornerstone of our journey. It’s where hard work meets holiday vibes, and where lifelong friendships are forged.

We train hard. We learn more. And we enjoy every second of it.

See you under the Sicilian sun!
