Previous Workout of the Day
|
For students who have been through the core basic as well as level 1 classes, and
are prepping for the Combat Medic Level 1 Test and/or the Hunter-Gatherer Level
1 Test, the following is a "workout of the day" that will be posted 5 times a week
(aside from holiday schedules). Pick one or pick both and do them as your daily
practice to get ready for the test. Or integrate them into your own workout if you
prefer. Combat Medic workouts are physical workouts. Hunter Gatherer workouts are
(mostly) skills workouts, although they often take some physical work too.
The Workout of the Day is intended to help students prepare who will be participating
in this test weekend. It is also for anyone who wants to train and improve their
own functional fitness level and/or skills.

Combat Medic
|
The Combat Medic Path is the "path of the body" and focuses on a connection to the
body in relation to functional fitness, self-defense and of course skill and knowledge
in the areas of healing (plant medicine) and wilderness first-aid. The requirements
to pass the physical (functional fitness and self-defense) portion of the Combat
Medic test are to make it through the test weekend without quitting.
The next Combat Medic Level 1 Test will be over the weekend of May
19th/20th, 2012. It will start with the Spartan Sprint race in Burnet, TX, and continue
at the THP training center Saturday afternoon with medic-related, tactical paintball
& security scenarios throughout the afternoon, evening and night, and physical training
(hand-to-hand, grappling, stick fighting) on Sunday morning. The prerequisites to
take this test are a minimum of the Primitive Core Basic. Recommended prereq is
the Level 1 Combat Medic course.
