Combatives. What a great workout!

[Longhorn85]

For physical training the staff did Combatives this morning. That is the Army's version of hand-to-hand combat, based on the Ji-Jitsu style popularized by the Gracie Bros. It is a good workout, features a lot of good choke holds and wrestling moves.

It is a blast, we pair off and spar for 2 min rounds or until someone taps out, then switch to a new opponent. We kept this up for an hour. I feel kind of bad though cuz I choked out the Chaplain this morning!

Doing this kind of stuff everyday is why I prefer a career in the Service vs working for IBM or something.

Interesting timing from someone who is most likely sucking the tit of corporate America, playing online while at work.

I hear you - I miss it sometimes...the people anyway.

The ideal solution is self - employment, I think.

Yeah, my delts got good work during boxing training. The shadow boxing with 5lb dumbells helped a lot. I continue to do that workout every once in a while.

I think I'm going to do that too, but I want to get some weighted gloves.
