CrossFit Koncepts

Just a couple quick things:

CFK Monthly Birthday Beer and Pizza Workout - will be held next Friday (04/01/11) at 0500 PM.  We will be celebrating all of the April birthday's (Nicky, Dorothy, Geri, Jeffrey, and Big Mak) after the 0500 PM workout.  Don't miss out!  BTW - I will check with Miss Kim and see if she will be continuing her tradition of bringing a batch of her delicious homemade cupcakes (or cake)!

Bullying, both in real life and online, is a problem for kids today.  It was a problem when we were growing up as well but I feel that it is more of an issue now when it's linked to one-parent families, latch-key kids, and other "diseases" of our society.  My martial arts instructor of the last 25+ years, Guro/Sifu Dan Inosanto is featured in the following anti-bullying video. NOTE: the video was produced by his daughter Diana Lee Inosanto who is an actress, writer and director.

I haven't shot a lot of video lately so I thought I would see how just putting the Flip camera on a tripod and turning it on during a workout would fair.  Well... it's not bad - but it's not good either!  It at least documents everyone moving in and out of the pull-ups and ring dips.

"Another One Bites The Dust"

• 03 Ring Dips
• 05 Pull-ups
• 07 KB Snatch

AMRAP in 20 minutes; Men @53#, Women @ 35#

NOTE: I used a 61# KB to see how bad it could be... it was pretty bad! :)

Let me say that we have some insanely fit and strong guys as well!  I'm constantly impressed by the progress that these guys make and the humility that they display when their successes are made public.  They make me want to work harder to stay just barely ahead of them...

I hate to admit it but I've been really busy that last couple weeks and I've fallen way behind on making updates to the CFK web site!  Sorry! :P

We are in the process of ramping up the Kettlbells For Warriors events for 2011 and already have dates planned for Jacksonville, FL; Columbia, SC; York, PA; Washington, DC; Nashville, TN; San Diego, CA; and New York City, NY.  It's going to be a great year and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of new friends and working with some of my heroes - our wounded warriors.

In addition to the Kettlebells For Warriors events there are a number of Kettlebell workshops scheduled in the coming months.  Everything from a KB 101 (intro) to a KIX 101 (KB's, Indian Clubs and TRX) - not to mention a couple that are in development.

We will also be looking at moving into a larger and much nicer facility in the coming months.  We've already got a new location scouted out and will be negotiating with the landlord very soon to start the build out and modifications to the new location.  This will include a Mens and Womens bathroom - with a lock on the door!?!?

Thanks to all of you for being so patient and amazing clients! 

I just want to thank those of you who have taken the time to submit an instructor review to my page on the Dragon Door website!  Your comments and enthusiasm for our program is inspiring to me and makes me want to work even harder to make each and every workout amazing.

If you haven't had a chance to submit your review all you need to do is go to my page and click on the "Write Review" link.

Thanks!

Truth be told I love strong, athletic women!  That's one of the reasons why I love my job - I get to work with motiviated, strong, and insanely fun women each and every day.  Do I have a great job or what?!?!
