WORLD OF FURY - NOVEMBER

Here's what's going on in the world of Fury.


FIVE POINTS NEWS
-I have been training Michael for the Connecticut HKC with Master RKC Andrea Du Cane. As expected, he passed and decided to go back the next day for Andrea's RKC Prep Course. Congrats to Michael. I look forward to getting him RKC ready. Andrea will be back at Five Points in February to instruct an HKC and an RKC Recert.


-Josh Henkin of Ultimate Sandbag Training fame has re-programmed and renamed his L.I.F.T. certification program. As a result, Coach Lance Turnbow and I have been elevated to DVRT Level 2 status. Sandbag training is constantly evolving and Lance and I are very proud to be a part of it. 


-The mighty Virna is back after some significant health setbacks. She is one of the most mentally and physically strong people I know. Don't call it a comeback. 

-Andy's domination of the 20kg Clean and Press is complete. He can officially rep it five per side. Huge deal for Andy. Onto the 24kg. 

-Mark, Rachel, Ed and Adrienne are all getting stronger by the week. Adrienne is making a run for the pound for pound strongest woman at Five Points. 

-Lisa continues to amaze herself (and her daughter, Chloe) with her strength gains. There's a healthy mother/daughter competition brewing.Every week she's surprised by finding muscles she never knew she had. Lisa's been with another trainer for years, but she is now seeing how exceptional hard-style kettlebell training is. 

-A few weeks ago, I took Senior RKC John Engum's Flexibility and Mobility Workshop. John is an amazing instructor and I can't recommend this workshop enough. My clients and I have been benefitting from it daily. 

FIGHTING NEWS
-Greg Rowe dominated Steve Dang of Evolve Martial Arts from MD. Don't mess with Greg in the ring. 

-The first weekend of December is a big one for the Five Points Academy Fight Team. We have four fighters, including the one and only Emily Bearden, fighting in the Friday Night Fights card on 12/2. We also have several fighters, including Greg, in the Warrior's Cup promotion in NJ on 12/3.

-Michelle "Baby Tiger" Bryner will make her debut alongside other members of the fight team at Take On's card on 12/16 in Flushing, NY. 

CFKC NEWS
-Congrats to Jasmine and Jonathan. The lovebirds are now married and enjoying their honeymoon. The pictures of which are making many fellow New Yorkers jealous. 

-The entire crew is getting more technically proficient. The strength gains have been considerable. I now have to haul much heavier bells to class. The kettlebell cart is hitting max capacity. I'm proud of them.

-I'm in the process of finding a new indoor space to keep things going. Stay posted. 

-I'm off to San Diego (Spanish for whale vagina) this week for John Du Cane's Marketing Mastermind Intensive. I've been looking forward to this for weeks now. I'll report in when I'm back.

-Fury out!

  1. As a general rule, women named "Adrienne" tend to be freakishly strong, so I'm not in the least bit surprised :)
