School children are put through their paces at a military style boot camp in South Korea
​

These South Korean school children are put through their paces by retired marines during a stay at the Cheongryong Self-denial Training Camp
on Daebu Island in Ansan, southwest of Seoul

The children are at the mercy of the instructors who make them struggle across m&d flats, stretching them both mentally and physically

One-hundred and fifty-six children took part in the three-day camp to strengthen themselves mentally and physically


​

 

[Yuan Shao]

There are many camps across Asia like this one, but with the military threat from North Korea military service in South Korea is compulsory.
All adults serve in the armed forces for two years

This group of children are put through their paces by one of the instructors
