Fight Gone Bad IV

This is absolutely a worthwhile cause and we will be participating in this event and doing a joint WOD with Lumberjack CrossFit.

I have created a Centurion CrossFit team on the FGB web page http://www.fgb4.org/ go and register and an individual and then click "join an existing team", select the state of Texas and that's where you will find Centurion CrossFit. This is a great event for a couple of great causes.

Today, young men and women are coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 30,000 of them are returning wounded in body – many more in mind and spirit. Unlike the men who gathered on Katherine Phillip’s porch, they are often the only ones in their communities to have experienced battlefields, to have held dying comrades, or to have comforted traumatically injured friends. With whom are these soldiers sharing those life-changing experiences? More than ever, these men and women need a Front Porch – they need a place of healing. And that’s what Wounded Warrior Project is all about.

Athletes for a Cure, a program of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, is a fundraising and awareness program to assist individual athletes in their quest to raise money for better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer. Every dollar raised from the program goes directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

From CrossFit HQ - CrossFit’s Fight Gone Bad (FGB) workout, repurposed as a fundraising vehicle, has grown organically from within the CrossFit community. This annual fundraiser clearly illustrates the CrossFit community’s unselfish desire to give. Sparked by a simple idea, that drive has turned into an unstoppable movement. It unites our affiliate family by taking our natural competitive spirit and channeling it into a force for good, combining the desire to excel that fuels the CrossFit Games and the philanthropy that has powered Operation Phoenix.

This year, CFHQ is proud to support “FGB IV: Who Do You Fight For?” through the newly-minted CrossFit Foundation.

The WOD - It was originally designed for UFC fighters doing a non-title fight. The CrossFit workout is ‘Fight Gone Bad.’ In this workout you spend one minute at each of five stations, resulting in a a five-minute round after which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for three rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises.
