Seared Scallop

This coming Saturday we have a special SHADOW BOXING class for the FCF community, lead by one of our own, Manny!

Emmanuel (Manny) Papoutsakis started training in Krav Maga over 10 years ago and is Level 3 Silver certified through Krav Maga Alliance. He has many years of experience as an instructor teaching both classes and seminars at other locations before he moved to Seattle. He reached out to us with the following:

“I wanted to give back to Foundation CrossFit and share with the community a workout that has helped me get through this quarantine. I’ll teach you some of the basic components of self-defense, such as fighting stance, movement, and punching combinations. We will put those techniques together into a fun workout that includes shadow boxing and various bodyweight movements!”

Krav Maga is the official self defense and fighting system of the Israeli Defense Force and is used by law enforcement agencies around the world. This is a self defense for the modern world, training you to deal with real life situations using techniques that can be learned and quickly mastered by anyone, regardless of age, size or previous training.
