ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 7/12: A SESSION WITH THE MENTOR

14 June 2010... It is customary at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP to have a Bring-A-Friend (BAF) day on the third Friday of every monthly session. The BAF day is organised for friends of recruits to have a sneak preview or a feel of what the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP is about.

(Do not adjust your computer screen, the few pictures on the left was meant to be 'blur'.. its called the 'paparazzi-skill' (i think))

 The ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama rescheduled  the customary third Friday to Monday to enable every recruit and potential recruits to train with the founder of the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Chief Brabon and Gunny Emily.

Chief Brabon and Gunny Emily arrived in Malaysia on 11 June 2010 to conduct the training/retraining, and assessing & certifying new trainers, and re-assessing existing trainers.

 Friends and recruits arrived as early as 5am for the 5:45am session.

Sarge Dann picked up Chief Brabon & Gunny Emily at the Westin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur at 4:45am and was at the training field by 5am.

Sarge Dann was down with high fever after the intense 17 hours of physical training with Chief Brabon over the weekend.. Although down and sick, Sarge Dann insisted in conducting the session with Chief Brabon.

We are pleased to announced Jasper Chai had passed the assessment and is certified and promoted by Chief Brabon as a Corporal (for ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP RANKING click HERE). Corporal Chun, Corporal Sandy, Lans Corporal Nawal, Lans Corporal Erni Syazwani insisted to be in Grey Tee as a recruit to experience being trained by the Chief...  Chief requested for Sarge Dann to be his assistant and we chose Corporal Jasper as the second assistant.

Sarge Dann did the Roll-call and segregated the Friends, Rangers, Seals and Deltas to their respective sections.

The session then started with a warm-up....

Abu Lais bin Walli Mohamed, age 52 is an active recruit. He and Anita Ahmad had been up Mt Kinabalu three times, explored the Virgin jungle Hutam Belum twice, went on diving expedition and had climbed to various mountains in Malaysia.

Yam Chan together with three of her friends joined the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama to train for Mt Mulu & the pinacles expedition next month in July.

A group of 20 other recruits joined the bootcamp to train and conquer the highest peak in South East Asia Mt Kinabalu.

At the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, trainers performed the exercises together with recruits. There is no such thing as Boss'ing around telling recruits to performed exercises that they themselves cant do. 

Friends at the BRING-A-FREIND day are easily recognisable without the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP T'SHIRTS.

Chief Brabon also reiterated the importance of a perfect form & techniques more than speed.

Without the use of any equipments, toys or items, the first part of the circuits focused on the Glut, ass & legs..

While Chief demonstrated and performed the workout with the recruits, the assisting trainers walked around to motivate and ensure the exercises were correctly performed.

After the competition, the session ended with a cooling down...

Afer the session, Chief Brabon & Gunny Emily had a sitting down Q&A (question & answer) session with recruits and friends.

There were various questions poised to Chief on Dieting, how to improve, Running performances and Running with 'injuries'. Some recruit even took the opportunity to seek clarification on the recent 'CONTROVERSY'. Chief gladly answered all questions and we are glad all are now clarified.
