Complementary Bodywork Pre/Post Fight Gone Bad!

Kinks in your shoulders/hips/back? Dr. Fidler is offering free Game Day body work for folks participating in Fight Gone Bad tomorrow.

Pre WOD treatment includes soft-tissue treatment, assisted stretching, taping, and spinal/extremity adjustments with consent and all within the state scope of practice. Also, advice may be given on the injury and further post-event care for when the athlete returns home, as well as advice on self-stretches, rehab exercises and self-care before and post event.

Post WOD The goal of this care is to assist the athletes in their immediate recovery from the event, speeding the relaxation of the musculature and the healing of any post-race myofascial tightness, spasm, or cramping

There will be a sign in sheet to reserve your spot.

Learn more about Dr. Jason Fidler at www.fidlerdc.com

Everyone participating in Fight Gone Bad tomorrow also has a judging assignment. We’ll provide the clip boards and paper work and answers for any last minute questions you might have. Check out the video above to learn basic etiquette when judging so you can be a supportive and effective judge.  Below are the basic range of motion standards we’re expecting for each movement:

Box Jump: Demo Video

Fight Gone Bad Tomorrow!!!

We’re currently at about 27K raised for the Brooklyn Community Foundation!!! We didn’t know what to expect this year and thought that 10K would be a reasonable goal which we ended up blowing out of the water. Thank you to everyone who took the time to raise some money for the good folks at the BCF and the programs they support.  Today is your last chance to get those emails/phone calls/bribes etc out to raise your personal total.  Can we crack 30K in the last day?!?!

Massage at CFSBK!

Inka has been part of the SBK community for nearly two years.  As an athlete, bodyworker, and regular to CrossFit workouts, she understands first hand repetitive movement patterns and the stress they can put on the body. This familiarity allowed her to learn a wide variety of treatment techniques to help prevent overuse injuries. She strongly believes that the mind and the body are connected and that regular exercise and bodywork is a key component to maintaining one’s health.  

Inka is offering sports massage geared towards breaking down adhesions, relieving trigger points, unadhering myofascial restrictions, and increasing range of motion. Techniques include Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy.

A Message From Marilyn:

“As President of the Brooklyn Community Foundation, I send this heartfelt thanks for the tremendously inspiring work that members of the CrossFit South Brooklyn community, and extended family and friends, are doing on behalf of people across Brooklyn of all walks of life, backgrounds, and need.  The funds you raise will help the Foundation elevate the quality of life for all people in Brooklyn through grants to organizations working at the front lines of education, human services, workforce development, environment, social justice, and arts and culture.  Rest assured, we are not sitting idly by watching you fundraise, but using Fight Gone Bad to galvanize our base to join in on the fundraising so we can keep the tally moving ever upward.  Thank you, dear friends, for your sweat, effort, and love of Brooklyn.”

The CFSBK Movie Club Reminder

“Remember how much fun it was back in middle school when you and your pals would giddily invade the local multiplex on a Friday night to catch whatever schlock the most recent teen heartthrob (Freddie Prinze, Jr. FTW!) was turning out that week?  There’s just something special about sitting in a dark room with friends and watching attractive people pretend to be other attractive people.  We may get older, we may develop taste, but movies will always be awesome.
 
It is with that in mind that we submit, for your consideration, CFSBK Movie Club.  Each month, the group will vote for an upcoming film; we will organize a field trip to see said film in the theater; and then we will retire to a nearby bar to discuss.  Kind of like Book Club, if the books were made of moving pictures.

To get the ball rolling, we will be seeing “Cloud Atlas” (as a tie-in with the Book Club) sometime in November.  After that, it’s up to you (so choose wisely).

If you’re interested, email gina.gatto(AT)gmail.com to be added to the listserv.
