Morristown Kickboxers Conquer Mud, Guts & Glory

Mud. Hills. Lots and Lots of hills. Physically demanding obstacles. Beautiful weather.

It was the perfect setting for an obstacle race, and kickboxers from Fortress Kickboxing in Morristown, TN enjoyed every second of it!

Mud, Guts and Glory is an obstacle race held at the Kings Domain adventure camp just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is unusual in the sport of obstacle racing in that it is set up to be a permanent course.

I have done a LOT of obstacle races, and this course had the toughest monkey bars (my hands are shredded from attempting them using hands only) and the toughest, highest wall to free climb. Did I mention the hills? The only race I have run with more hills was the Spartan Super at Wintergreen Ski Resort. Every time you turned a corner there was another climb, and the final bluff at the end of the race made your jaw drop when you jogged up to it.

Morristown kickboxing students travel to obstacle races 4+ times a year as they are a great way to test their overall levels of fitness. Obstacle races require upper and lower body strength, great cardio and a strong spirit - all things kickboxing classes are great for building.
