Hooray!

My Bride and i finished a 5 k obstacle course called the Boldrdash Race in Westerly RI to help pay for clean up of the damage done during the big storm Sandy.

I find that running military style obstacle courses, kind of like the Army Confidence Courses, are a great way to train a much neglected part of combat.....THE CHARGE.

Running toward challenges and pushing through adversity is lacking in many of the younger generations. Perhaps it is time that we return to the days when Martial Art included fitness, discipline, and mental toughness in order to solve problems while under stress.

Eastford Fisticuffs Guilde will hit a few more mud runs this year. With me pushing 40 i need to remain extra active!

Congrats...is this like the Tough Mudder courses I've read about? My sister's husband participated in one of those. Seems like they are growing in popularity.

Yes Sir, weve done 6.

Warrior Dash 3x

Spartan Sprint 1x

Zombie Run 1x

And today's Boldrdash.

The warrior dashes have the biggest party after.

The Spartan has been by far the hardest of all of the runs.

Sounds like it was a fun time. I've seen adds up for these things, but don't think I would be in any kind of shape to run one.

Ive decided that my students should be able to run theseraces.

If they are going to do JKD, Arnis, Kenpo, ....then they should be able to finish a 3.2 mile jog.

I train weapons, empty hands, and fitness.

So a 5k is a small thing. Not hard at all.

You just go left right left until its done.

Time is irrelevant.

Just finishing is a small boost to confidence for most people.
