This weekend is the annual Crossfit Games to determine who is the fittest person/team on the planet. I have been glued to the screen watching with amazement as the athletes crushed the most grueling of workouts so far. I am so proud that there are so many Scandinavians in the games this year. My friends from Crossfit Butchers Garage are competing in the team events and they are doing an amazing job.
It is truly amazing to look back at where Crossfit started and where it is now. I would never have imagined that I would sit here and watch the Crossfit Games being so big as it is this year. Crossfit has changed that lives of people and the way we view fitness. It is an amazing time we have ahead of us, “WE ARE CROSSFIT”.
It has been a very long time since I posted anything on my site. I have been very busy with new job, moving to a new place, teaching and training. I’m very happy about training and teaching at Square One Crossfit here in Mississauga. I hope many more will both join to train Crossfit bot also to train the wonderful art of Chi Sim Weng Chun Kung Fu.
Chi Sim Weng Chun is still not that know worldwide, but with the help of dedicated teachers around the world maybe one day that will change. I started to train Chi Sim Weng Chun in 2005, under my Sifu’s Thomas Roskjær and Sifu Henrik “Affe” Sprechler. Affe is the founder of Butcherslab and Butchersgarage in Copenhagen, Denmark where you can train Crossfit, Training for Warriors and Weng Chun/Bjj. When I got the idea for Aarhus Crossfit in the beginning of 2008, Affe was one of the people that I consulted for help with my ideas.
Weng Chun is not only a martial art and healing art, but also an art that teaches people the way of the spiritual warrior through the teachings of Chan Buddhism. In the 6 1/2 principle form the first principle is “Tai”, which means to raise or to lift. This can be transfered to your everyday life. If a person next to you is in a bad mood, you try to life their spirit so they feel better, so you are using the principle of “Tai”. When you get out of bed in the morning you also use “Tai” not only to lift you body out of bed, but also to lift your spirit/mind to the task at hand, to go to work. Similar to that the 64′th verse of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-Tzu reminds us that ” A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
I hope to see more people for the Weng Chun Classes at Square One Crossfit. Our website is here we train Monday 8:00Pm-9:00Pm, Wednesday 8:00Pm -9:00Pm and Friday 7:00Pm – 8:00Pm and the address is
1203A Fewster Drive,
