Campers practice taekwondo in Raymond Park. “It’s not just a combat sport,” said Joseph Connelly, whose Connelly Academy has been teaching martial arts skills for 26 years in Evanston. “It’s a way of running your life and ordering your life so you can have a peaceful, productive way in the world.” About two dozen boys and girls are enrolled in the nine-week camp. “I hope they get a sense of agency,” Connelly said. “Something we tell them is we are not teaching your bodies, we are teaching your minds.” (Photo by Richard Cahan)
