Prep for FGB IV

Saturday we will be working on an introduction to "Fight Gone Bad". This is one of the most brutal of CrossFit workouts. It was named after MMA Fighter BJ Penn finished the workout and said, "that felt like a fight gone bad". The initial intent was to get BJ trained up for an upcoming MMA fight and the workout was supposed to replicate the demands of the 3 five-minute rounds of an MMA fight.

On Saturday 26 September at 1000 hours, CrossFit Yongsan will kick off Fight Gone Bad IV, joining more than 300 CrossFit Affiliates worldwide who will be conducting the same workout and raising money for two great causes: the Wounded Warrior Foundation and Athletes for a Cure in the fight against Prostate Cancer.

If you go to our FGB IV Rules link, you will find the rules for this year's event. The bottom line is that if you want to compete, you have to go to the FGB website, register as a Team CrossFit Yongsan member and then raise at least $150 to get a slot to compete in the workout on the 26th. If you raise more than $200 you get a free FGB IV tshirt...

We can scale the workout to your current ability level so don't worry if you are a housewife, a newcomer, a kid or a grandma, we will get you a version of the workout that will work for you. See the four classes available in the FGB IV Rules link.

Come join the fun. Help raise money for two worthy causes...

How much fight is in you???
