Crossfit...Forging Elite Fitness

[Hottrockin]

To reiterate The Robinator’s blogs http://www.downrange.tv/blog/?p=2049 and http://www.downrange.tv/blog/?p=1562 there is some really kickin' stuff at http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/excercise.html#Combatives !  Drill down to "COMBATIVES (CROSSPIT, SPEAR, etc.)" and check some of the great info / clips!  The wmv will DL into your Windows Media Player, the mov is a Quick Time movie player.  Some super duper empty hand skills and other junk await!  Perhaps some of these techniques may help when a gun isn't the solution.

Shouldn't that be mags and not "clips".

SORRY, COULDN'T RESIST!!!!!!

Seriously, guys.. fitness is probably more important to our safety that any gun we own...

In between Crossfit WODs, try some freerunning:

(Skipper took 5th place in the world Freerunning competition last year.... he's an awesome athlete.)

Hilarious!  I too could be grrreat with some awesome ‘tactical’ socks like that!  We now ALL wanna see those show up on TBD!  HahaHeheHoho!  Thanks for the cool video punk!  Looks like you nailed you back in a portion cycling through a railing?

Again, the Crossfit videos are really super duper to watch and pick up a few things here ‘n’ there!  Everyone should check’em out!

Oh my goodness, that was outstanding.  I can only run like that in my Adidas Soccer Socks, black in color of course.

Not to mention tripping over the furniture near the beach!

For the record, had that been me, I would have been calling a cab! One seriously screwed up knee keeps me from doing stuff like that - and it does look like fun. Almost like what we used to do as kids, running through the back yards, fields and the city dump.

I can just 'feel' the screws working out of my left hip from just watching you guys in the video....it was cool as hell though.

Yeah, that was a fun afternoon... and actually, my Aunt saw it a couple months ago and said "that's not a sport, you've been doing climbing on everything since you were 5!

The video production went through a few phases for a few different reasons, that edit is a mix of everything from trying to be funny (the furniture trip), to trying to look good, to trying to keep up (most of it!). The original reason for doing it was getting a corporate group psyched about the team building event that we were doing for them the next day that involved an obstacle course.

It was great to see Mr. Pincus display a sense of humor and not being so serious all the time. Good stuff. Thanks.
