Started the day doing the Annual “The Murph” hero workout. Every Memorial Day me and several friends do this workout not just to challenge ourselves and each other but to also in our own way pay tribute to all the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country 🇺🇸. “The Murph” was one of the workouts Lt. Michael P. “Murph” Murphy would do as part of his conditioning regimen. He made the ultimate sacrifice in 2005 and this workout was made as tribute to him.

Details of the workout:

*wearing a 20 lb. vest (also optional to not wear it)*

1 mile run
100 pull-ups
200 pushups
300 squats
1 mile run

*My Time: 53:27:24*

This was 1 minute and 14 seconds faster than last year.

Although the time doesn’t matter, the process of the workout itself is much more significant. So for folks expecting to go through “the suck,” enjoy it and cheer each other on and just stay focused. Take your breaks if you need it and keep pushing through! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend 🇺🇸 🙏🏻.

Stay Fluid

Comparing the different “free flow” ways of knife sparring from “Palakaw/Palusut” of Doce Pares Eskrima to Jeet Kune Do’s “Sumbrada”. All are great tools in developing tactile skills to movement that can set up for trapping to disarms as well as movement patterns. These are drills and not necessarily simulating real life knife attacks, but it can serve as tool and attribute development to help survive an encounter.
