Shooting Club at IIT Kanpur is one of a kind to feed your craving of perfection. A very new club, it was formed with the sole objective of uncovering the best and the brightest assets among the campus community who share the passion of perfection.
Shooting originated as a means of survival, and it was practiced in order to hunt. After the Industrial Revolution, shooting evolved into an elite sport. It is predominantly a skill-based sport where consistency, accuracy, and concentration are key features over one particular body type. There are 2 categories in shooting sports, 1. Pistol: Short firearms held with one unsupported hand in a standing position. Different pistols used for different events e.g. air pistols that use compressed air to discharge lead pellets, rapid fire pistols in which 5 pellets are shot in quick succession and traditional or free pistols which shoot one pellet at a time. 2. Rifles: Shoulder firearms. Air rifles use compressed air to discharge lead pellets. Rifles are fired in either a prone, standing, or kneeling position depending on the event, and the “three position†events incorporate all three.

Taekwondo, a form of Martial Arts, originated in Korea. It is not just a game or sport, it is an art which can build confidence, enhance self-esteem, teach self-defence, develop discipline and strengthen mind, body and soul.
This form of Martial Arts helps in attaining peace and body control through different patterns of demonstration (called Poomsae) leading to harmony in the body. At its core, Taekwondo is about learning to diffuse situations. The practice is defensive, rather than offensive. What you learn in Taekwondo training can prevent you from becoming a victim in threatening situations. These fundamental skills increase your physical coordination, flexibility, balance, and mental acumen. The aim of TKD club is to develop and continuously maintain a well-rounded planned series of future events and provide the finest quality in martial art in family-oriented environment to show their skills beyond the classroom.

General health and athletic conditioning: The one most obvious benefit of boxing is that it’s a great form of cardiovascular exercise. It improves stamina to a great extent and helps burning body fat, thus lending you a lean, fit body naturally. Cardio kick boxing workouts allow you to burn out 350 to 500 calories in just an hour. Moreover, boxing drills help improve reflexes and strength.
Focus: Boxing isn’t as much a sport of power as it is of tactics. Knowing when and where to strike often overcomes any lack of physical prowess. You learn how to fix your eyes on a moving target, which combination of punches to go for, all the while trying to evade strikes from the opponent. Sometimes, you have to be patient, gauge the opponent acutely, lure him into making a mistake, and then hit him on the counter. At times, boxing becomes a game of chess-albeit a more physically demanding one. Rage and Serenity: It’s fun to hit the heavy bag as hard as you can. But boxing isn’t a show of strength. Many a time, it’s important to throw lighter, quicker punches, because the harder you punch, the faster you’ll be fatigued. At times, boxing is about curbing the urge to go all out, and thinking smart. Thus, you learn to tame your mind to your will. You learn to achieve the point between rage and serenity.

The sport is called “Ultimate†because it is considered to be the ultimate sport.
“Who gets more air than a basketball player, more floor than a rugby player and pulls at every tournament? That’s an Ultimate Player.â€
It is an exciting, non-contact team sport played with a flying disc (Frisbee) by thousands all over the world. Ultimate is a fast-paced game, demanding its players to develop razor-sharp throwing skills and immense stamina and agility. The basic aim of the game is to score a goal by catching the Frisbee in the opponent team’s end zone after passing among each other and avoiding the opponent team members who are trying to get the possession.
Ultimate Frisbee Hobby Group is a new addition to the sports culture at IIT Kanpur. We are a family, a community of Ultimate playing people in the campus. Our vision is to ensure that everyone in the campus has access and support to play Ultimate. We also have an Institute Ultimate team and we wish to take IIT Kanpur at a respectable position in competitive Ultimate in India.
In India, Ultimate is mostly played as a mixed team of men and women to promote gender equality. Ultimate can become an icon for gender equality in sports at IITK too.
We play 3-4 times every week, especially on the weekends. We hold regular workshops, throughout the semester. We also conduct “Hat†tournaments where people can register individually and compete in teams allotted by us.

Archery is the practice or skill of using a bow to shoot arrows. As a sport, archery requires skills of precision, control, focus, repetition and determination. It is available to be practised by all, no matter age, gender or ability, and is a widespread pastime in both developed and developing countries.
Archery is often in the public eye, both as an important sport on the Olympic Programme, and thanks to popular culture.
Starting with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, archery was featured in a run of big-budget Hollywood blockbusters, including The Hunger Games, The Avengers and The Hobbit franchises, as well as in small screen productions like Arrow.
Beware: Archery is addictive. One shot can have you hooked for a lifetime.
Archery is a sport that most people would have wanted to pursue as kids but haven’t done so due to lack of awareness and facilities. The Archery club at IIT Kanpur aims to promote the sport by giving the residents an opportunity to be a part of the select few who know this sport in our country.

Inter-IIT Sports Meet is the most eagerly looked after sports event amongst campus teams, wherein all IITs compete for glory. It comprises of two meets, Inter IIT Main Meet in December and Inter IIT Aquatics Meet. Aquatics Meet is held separately (generally in the first week of October) as part of Inter IIT each year preceding the main meet. Inter IIT is hosted by IITs turn by turn. General Championship is awarded to the teams based on their combined performance in Inter IIT Main Meet and Inter IIT Aquatics meet. IIT Kanpur hosted the Inter IIT 2016 edition. The grandness of the event can be judged by the fact that the teams practice throughout the year to give their best shot in a 10 day tournament.
Format: Each sport carries 10 points for the winners, 6 for the runners up, 4 for the 3rd place and 2 for the 4th place. Total points for a particular IIT are summed up and the total is known as their GC tally. The IIT with maximum GC tally wins the Inter IIT Sports meet, and gets to lift the prestigious GC trophy.
