About Sokol NY

The mission of Sokol New York is to provide fitness and community for individuals and families through physical, educational, cultural and social activities.

​

Founded in 1867, Sokol New York is part of a nation-wide organization called American Sokol. Czechoslovakian immigrants brought this movement with them to America

and the organization continues to embrace the Sokol credo:

​

“A sound mind in a sound body.”

​

Sokol is the Czech word for falcon. The falcon symbol was chosen for its power, endurance and keen perception.

​

Nazdar, which you may hear at the end of your Sokol class, translates to mean “on to success.”
