Here is a very interesting article from Josh Hillis’ blog. It’s an extensive look at what many have considered the downsides of Crossfit, including Greg Glassman.

If you have a Facebook account there’s a good chance you saw this week. Just in case you didn’t, I also want to share what is perhaps the greatest Taekwondo fight of all time.
How can that do anything but make you smile?
