Visit to ATA Karate Crossfit Class

I took a visit to coach Vince's ATA Karate school to check out one of his Crossfit classes.
Before class started me and Vince did a bunch of power cleans with one of the nicest bars you will ever use, the Rogue Bar. I definitely recommend getting it if you are looking for a good durable bar that won't make your hands hate you. We also messed around doing TGU's and Snatches with a 70lb punching bag. Doing a TGU with that thing was quite the balancing act.

After our fun was over class began and it was a great time. Class started out with 100 burpees for time, which if you've ever done burpees before, is killer. These JKD athletes were undoubtedly pushed to their limits. The tuck jumps to silent landing at the end officially put everyone out of commission.

Here's a little video I put together of the night:


If it looks like a good time let us know and we can get you signed up for some classes!

PS: I HATE that Trapt's "Headstrong" works so well with workout videos! I seriously tried so many other songs and nothing seemed to fit the video quite as well. Looks like you win this one Trapt.

Happy Training,
Chris Moran. CSCS.

  1. I'm glad to see more CF programming used in fight gyms. I've adopted it for our BJJ/Muay Thai classes, and it does a great job at balancing strength and endurance conditioning.
