Ninja Warrior: Hawaii Print E-mail
Sunday, 28 June 2009
 

After the "Ninja Warrior Marathon" playing on G4 a few days ago and Ozzi delighting himself with each and every episode of it, the HIPK Camp at Crossfit Oahu went mad yesterday when he decided to have a "Ninja Warrior - MovNat Challenge". A course inspired by, well, the already mentioned show and some of the elements of MovNat.


Read more to hear the details!

We covered;

Balance, throwing, catching, QM, jumping, climbing, lifting, jumping, landing, rolling, crawling, dragging, vaulting. All in one challenging and fun course.

Here is a brief description of the course.


1. Start by running/walking over a 15ft gymnastics balance beam (ground level)
2. 5 Wall Ball progression 8# to 20#
3. Hands Feet traverse 15ft.

4. Cat onto building support bean.

5. Climb the beam 10ft and down.
6. Use rings to swing to monkey bar.

7. Traverse monkey bar all the way and drop.
8. Pick up katterbel 25kg each hand - step onto boxes from 8" to 20" drop weight

9. Clear 8ft gap and roll (running start)
10. QM/Crawl under 15ft "tunnel"
11. Pick up 45# weight and perform 4 lunges toward next obstacle.
12. Jump onto rope from about 5ft away and climb pass half and down.
13. Flip punching bag (I estimate it at least 100#) drag it 15ft

14. Vault box - end


It was a great time and cant wait to have many more classes to enjoy it or hate it, whichever will make Ozzi happy!

That sounds like FUN! Love ninja warrior.

Ninja Warrior is great. 
I watched the new American Challenge where a free runner (Levi Meeuwinberg)took another shot at the course. It was too bad, though, he slipped up on the new obstacle. Like his previous attempts, however, he ran the course smoothly and in style.
