dojo total: 22,202 swings. didn't beat the record this time - 44k still stands. but we reached more than half-way, while having less time available than we did during kumite #3! pure hand-to-hand grind from the whole dojo. thanks to everyone who showed up and swung 🙏

this kumite takes us back to the roots. THE MISSION - how many sings can the dojo collectively do? - every rep from every dojo member counts and gets added to the total. HOW IT WORKS - any swing type counts - hand to hand, single hand, two hands swings - comment below with: 1. the number of swings you did, AND  2. the new dojo total (add your reps to the last posted total) THE CHALLENGE kumite #3 asked the dojo to swing as much as possible in 30 days. the final count was 44k swings. we will now try to beat that number! TARGET: 44,001 reps (yes, one more than last time is technically a win, but let’s not be that dojo 😏) let’s go swing and smash some records 💪

congratulation, everyone! the machine has landed. we made it back to 1880! 🕰️ every rep moved the clock as we counted for 37,755 reps done and 146 years travelled. 💪 📆 now it's time to step out of the machine and onto the ring. belt test week starts soon, and it is the perfect moment to show what we’ve been building towards. 🥋🥷👊

buckle up, everyone! the dojo has built a time machine, and it runs on one fuel only: kettlebell reps. THE MISSION our destination: 1880. the era of travelling strongmen, iron circuses, and the first kettlebell athletes who had no idea what was coming. we're going back to show them where kettlebells are today! 146 years. 53,390 days. one rep at a time. HOW IT WORKS - every kettlebell rep logged moves the machine 1 day back in time - carries don't count. the machine needs explosive movement to run - burpees count too. all variations, one rep is one rep (beginner, no jump, one pump, two pumps are all equal) - log your reps in the comments of this post and in the Kumite #18 - TIME MACHINE | scoreboard WHAT COUNTS - any kettlebell movement: swings, cleans, presses, snatches, squats, jerks, deadlifts, rows, etc... - burpees (any variation) - doubles count as 2 reps WHAT DOESN'T COUNT - carries - static holds TIME MACHINE ALERTS the machine doesn't always run smoothly, so watch for: - 🔴 ENGINE OVERHEATING - ⚡ TURBO BOOST - 🌀 TIME TURBULENCE  the mod squad will be monitoring the engine and inform you if we need to adjust to keep us on track for the destination.
