It was very enjoyable working with such a motivated and fun group of people. Your level of functional fitness certainly showed and allowed you to pick up the drills and skills very quickly.
S.P.E.A.R. founder Tony Blauer often talks about the relationship between CrossFit and S.P.E.A.R. and was caught on camera in a fairly recent video posted on the CrossFit website. It has always been very obvious for me personally (Tony got me hooked on CrossFit in 2006) but to see a whole group of mostly 'crossfitters' in the same room doing the SPEAR drills, it was very cool! Seeing how functional fitness transfers and supports functional fighting!
As Coach Glassman says, we train in the gym to support the demands of life. In life to thrive and survive we need a level of functional fitness, the ability to swim and of course the ability to protect ourselves and loved ones! Fundamental life enhancers!
What Coach Greg Glassman is to the fitness industry Coach Tony Blauer is to the Self Defence community. Both amazing pioneers!
A big thank you to Miles Key for hosting the course and also to Masa for the photos and to my assistant instructors Karl and Max.
