Colin Pistell Monday, July 9, 2012 at 3:30PM Let's take a break from all the deep philosophizing for a bit and engage in some good old fashioned work procrastination - sound good?
Here's a quick playlist of some random videos we've made but not shared on the website yet. Enjoy!
Colin Pistell Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 5:17PM We recently hit another milestone: 500 facebook friends! As is our custom, whenever we hit another hundred we celebrate with a little video - so here's the creatively titled 500:
As is often the case, the "smallest" move in there was the hardest - the dyno up to the finger hold at 1:02 was absolutely killer. I had fun shooting this - I hope you enjoy it!
(You have liked us on facebook, right? You should! We're looking forward to recording 600!)

After today's intermediate PK class (awesome as always) I was helping Sean clean up after the Meetup when we hit upon a little physical challenge - do a Turkish-get-up with a log. The challenge wasn't so much the weight (that log only weighs about 50-55lbs) but the balance and the fact that I couldn't get my hand around it! Here's what happened:
I'm not going to lie - it was pretty hard.
Have a great rest of the weekend.

I really wanted to focus on staying relaxed and making everything feel easy and smooth. I kinda succeeded... but my arms and shoulders are a little sore today.
I hope you get some ideas... hopefully this demonstrates that you don't always need a perfectly set idea of exactly how you want a training session or drill to go. Also, sometimes operating in a small space is more challenging than big moves in lots of space. What do you think?
