COBC: BATTLE OF THE PLATOONS!!!!!!!

 

Owhmygawd!!!!! Is this for real? Are we really having the platoon challenge? Really? Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God... I am so excited........... err.... err what is the platoon challenge?

Platoon challenge is a special event organised to foster the spirit of camaraderie between recruits from all platoons. Most of the time, recruits only interact with their fellow platoon mate without any opportunity to meet recruits from other platoons. During the platoon challenge, recruits irrespective of rank; range, seal and delta would have to work together and win points for their platoon this does inevitably promote team-work effort as well.

When Senior Sarge Rob Coad, the Regional master Trainer & Spec Ops Coodinator for the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Australia first mooted the idea in 2009, we at the KLA platoon went wild. We had our first Platoon Versus platoon in January 2010 and I was unanimously elected as the Captain for the KLA Platoon. That was when KLA was part of the same 20 years old network under the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Australia and I was only a recruit. Now KLA is running an independant program on its own. As the Captain, I had the best time planning, coordinating, training, strategizing and led our platoon to win the first Platoon Versus Platoon 2010. This year I cannot be the Captain nor a participant. Maybe a punishment for sleeping with the instructor!? aiiks... Read HERE for Platoon Versus Platoon 2010 and get some idea of what to prepare.

So who are the captains chosen to lead the platoon?

COBC JULY 2ND WEEK!! BRITISH ARMY'S ELITE 300 CLUB

Chief Brabon, the founder, designer and contractor of the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP workout program had never exhausted of exciting and challenging ideas to seduced our stamina that can reach out into giving our best potential in each and every session. Today is no exception and to end the 2nd week of July COBC session, Chief Brabon gave us an insight into what it takes to be part of the British Army's Elite.

British soldiers whom achieved the fitness standards from this circuit will be accepted into the uber-exclusive 300 club whose motto is "299 just isn't enough!". Since 2009, less than 300 British Soldiers qualified to be a member of the 300 club. Chief Brabon was also privilege to be invited by the British Army to take part in the 300 Club tryouts in December 2011 and if passed, Chief Brabon will be the first civilian to be accepted into the club. 

That same circuit & scoring that was used as a fitness benchmark for the British Army's elite was made available for us as a training method and for us to benchmark ourselves against. It is always best to gauge our fitness against the best. The COBC is not a military-inspired bootcamp just by name but it is military-inspired bootcamp because the training program was designed by a former infantry soldier Chief Brabon and tailor made for civilians with different goals. Each and every session was meticulously designed for us to reap the maximum benefit. 

Trained, graduated and certified only by Chief Brabon, Sarge (COBC) Dann, Corporal (COBC) Nawal, Corporal (COBC) Chun, Corporal (COBC) Tom and Lance Corporal (COBC) (P) Wan were entrusted only with 2 goal!! to get each and every recruit to workout in PERFECT FORM!! otherwise, it is NOT counted as a rep! and to perform as many reps in 2 minutes!

NTVT 7 "I FEEL GOOD" RUN @ BANDAR UTAMA

There are many reasons to feel good today on 3rd July 2011!! For a start... its Sunday!! Sunday is always good. Although we should be lazing in bed waking up late on Sunday but we woke up at 6am to get ready for the run. Nawal Aini Zulkifli, Ili Liyana Baharon, Hani Hussein, Adibah Syazni and Me car pool'ed to Sri Pentas at Bandar Utama for the NTV7, Feel Good Run 2011!! We parked the car at the One World Hotel car park, took the lift to the Lobby and walked to the Sri Pentas, the television & radio studio and broadcasting station, 5 minutes walk away.

Backtracked abit, Nawal Aini Zulkifli collected our race bib and registration goodie bag earlier. For 25 ringgit, the goodie bag was worth more than that but my favorite was the running tee shirt. These were in the goodie bag received...

There were more than 40 participants from the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Malaysia namely John Chuah, Armin Baniaz Pahamin, Daing Daniel Fitri, Nawal Aini Zulkifli, Nurfuadi Ruzalli, Suriana Saiful Yazan, Khiew Pooi Ching, Khooi Pooi Yen, Lizza Abdul Rahim, Joe Liew, Faizul Zainal, Jasmine Lili, Andrew Pang, Sofiyah Israa Mokhtar, Norliza Mohd Khalid, Lilian Lee, Raja Affandi Raja Jamaludin, Nadia Asari, Dalyn Nunis, Haidar Akma, Farah Fazulan Abdullah, Shazu Sabri, Hani Hussein, Adibah Mohamad, Adibah Syazni, Ryan Wong, Ili Liyana Baharon, James Fong, Jeremy Liew, Chan Meng Yam, Joannita Zaleha Yusoff, Shear Ling Toh, Freda Liu, Letch Sina, Nur Fazura, Dixon Thum, Tan Mein Mein, Angela Loo, Fareen Zulkifli and Haidar Akmal.

This RACE was also Faizul Zainal, Andrew Pang & Jasmine's  maiden run!!!

The NTV7 organized the Feel Good run on the 7th month of the year and on Sunday Morning at 7 O'clock!! We at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP are forever happy whenever there are running races. There were many COBC recruits that had turned into avid runners after joining the COBC. We at the COBC are the happy bunch and NTV7 being the home of Feel Good factor is a match-made in heaven.

Part of the NTV7 Feel Good Run cause was also to collect donations for the National Cancer Society, National Autism Society of Malaysia, Malaysia Heart Foundation and Malaysia AIDS Foundation. The COBC will do anything for charity and/or charitable cause, especially if it pertains to running for charity and/or fitness event. Just last week, our COBC recruit Jeffery Wong ran 100km in Singapore to raise fund for charity.

The CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP... The third inline after Celcom!!

COBC: JULY SESSION 2

It is impossible to plateau at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Malaysia!!! A bunch of us (including me) now had entered into our 3rd year training under the program with the same drive and energy but stronger stamina and strength. This is one of the main factor on how and why the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP AUSTRALIA (our principal) is now into their 20th year since establishment in 1991. Although we are a toddler being only 1 year old in Malaysia but the 20th years of experience backing, supporting and designing a world-class training program delivered to you only at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP by CHIEF's qualified instructors is a journey in it self.

After 3 years of training under the program, I lost my shoulder and legs again!!? I mean.... I still cant feel my legs and shoulders after the session today. Here I am, thinking I should be accustom to the workout but completing the session today was pain-stalking. Not that kind of pain but the other kind of pain... you know what I mean? Chief Brabon once said, if you struggled and find it difficult to complete a session, it means you have had a good session. That is what the program is about and that is what the instructors are train to do.... to make sure that every recruit gave 110% effort for the whole 1 hour! There are not there to be your friend but to extract your best potential.

The Otais (Old-Timer) were surprised and welcome back Lessa Tan!! Leesa Tan was our recruit but she had moved to become an expatriate overseas and occasionally comes back to Malaysia for a break. Leesa Tan, anytime you are back, please come for training!! Although you still maintain that lean and athletic physique but you still need to train. Welcome back Leesa Tan.

1 YEAR OLD CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, MALAYSIA

The CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, MALAYSIA turned One Year Old this month. Being only one year old, we are not free from flaw(s) and mistake(s) but we learn from our mistakes as well as other people's flaw and will continuously improve ourselves, our deliverables and our services. We are sensitive to whatever the needs of our recruits and members and where possible, we want to fulfill all those request. Rienna Choo... after many months of waiting, that Car Sticker is now ready. Its complimentary to mark our 1st year anniversary. Please inquire from your instructors & Admins. John Chuah.. I am also pleased to inform we now have the Cage!!!

After one year of being trained under the program, we took a huge step forward to subscribe the license from Australia, to share the program at various other locations. Now that we are one year old, from just a mere 1 location at Bandar Utama, this program is now shared at 3 locations namely, Bandar Utama, Subang Jaya USJ1 and Damansara Heights. From just 1 platoon, we now have 5 platoons namely BU-Alpha, BU-Bravo, USJ1-Alpha, USJ1-bravo and Damansara heights- Zulu.

For this one year anniversary...... On behalf of my partners Dr Malek Aziz & Sarge Dann and Chief Brabon the founder & Managing Director of the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Australia I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Pioneers and thoroughbred recruits as well as all past and present recruits.

Thank you Uncle John Chuah whom were our biggest supporter when we first started one year ago and even today... although now he has also became the biggest FFK. Thank you the most voted Spirit of Bootcamp and best improved and still improving JOE LIEW!!

Thank you pioneers Shear Ling Toh, James Fong, Chan Meng Yam, Freda Liu, Fatintafrina Mohd Tareh, Joannita Zaleha Yusof, RosLIZZA Abdul Rahim, Pooi Ching Khiew, Viki Lim, Lilian Lee, Raja Affandi Jamaluddin, Norliza Mohd Khalid, Afiza Abdul Halin, Rienna Choo...

JUNE CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP IN A NUTSHELL.... I MEAN NUT HELL!!

Reading CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP (COBC), USJ-Bravo recruit's Gladys-Tan blog at HERE, reminded me alot of me... Sharing experience of our passion is a generosity not many people have but the blogger's fraternity at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP are growing!! We have more than a dozen bloggers now but I will have to research them back in old blog roll to find the list. But do follow blogs from "Gladys-Tan: Life is beautiful- Smile while you still have teeth :D".. I ensure you will be entertained.

Subang Jaya USJ is quickly becoming as havoc as Bandar Utama & Damansara Height platoon with its own blogger, Otais and individual unique character that make them so fun and motivating to workout with. USJ Alpha & Bravo... you gals/guys became the talk among trainers.. you so hip! We Rolled-On-The-Floor-Laughing-Out-Loud (ROTFLOL) listening how the USJ-bravo Delta's ran and pick up cones when they were supposed to run-and-turn back at the cone instead.  There were other incidents that was hilarious but I better not start now.

We are approaching the end of June session and it is always hard to bid farewell to recruits whom opted to stop after this session. COBC is a platform to meet new friends, acquaintances and in sharing our passion for health & fitness as well as a platform for networking.

Having been overly busy this month with little time for blogging, let me summarize the whole month session in one blog. This month in particular has been extremely busy with that time for blogging being used for writing an autobiography of the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, MALAYSIA... how it start, what it is about, why the program is such a success, why did we take up the franchise, the training journal etc etc... now 50% is completed and although I have still have a long writing to do but I am determine to launch it in July 2011 in conjunction with the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

This month has been a trying month to re-built the stamina from lost of training momentum due to endless trips overseas. The first two weeks of this month was a heart throbbing session and personally I almost drown in pouring sweat. The less stressful session was during the Bring-A-Friend day on Friday for Bandar Utama & Damansara Heights platoons and Saturday for USJ platoons.

What did we do for BAF Day? Yes.. Let those pictures speak for itself. Although I was blogging on Bandar Utama Alpha where I trained, the pictures were taken from Damansara Heights Zulu.

We had 13 toys and Bruder Tayar! What better way to welcome those friends than to introduced them to bruder tayar, batang rifle and Sandbabes. After all, life is all about bruderhood, batang and babes.

Recruits arrived early eagerly waiting for the session to start. This is the hidden energy that we all discovered at the bootcamp. They always do except for some whom really desperate to have a sexy legs.. (we know what late-comers equate to don't we!?)

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH LIZZA ABDUL RAHIM, CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP PIONEER MEMBER & OTAI!!

Rosliza Abdul Rahim, a wife and a mother of 5 beautiful children first heard of the bootcamp from Farhanah Bamadhaj and thought Farhanah had lost her mind being a lady in a military inspired bootcamp in July 2009. 6 months later in January 2010, Lizza Abdul Rahim build the courage to join the bootcamp when Farhanah invited. Farhanah wanted to invite Lizza Abdul Rahim earlier but she was reluctant when Dr Malek Aziz thought Lizza would not be able to survive at the bootcamp.... Lizza did not just survived but she has been a consistent recruit for the 18th months now.

WHY DO YOU JOIN THE CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP?

People joined the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP for various reasons. Once, there was a couple known as James Fong & Chan Meng Yam whom first joined the COBC to prepare themselves to conquer the Pinnacles at Mulu Caves.  Then there were some idiots (err me Armin Baniaz Pahamin & Nawal Aini Zulkifli) who climbed up the Mt Kinabalu in August 2010 for the second time (and still at COBC to preparation for a third climb?) alongside 20 other bootcampers namely Ili liyana Baharon, Ilyanna Aylin Ayob, Syed Mahadzir Syed Manshor, Abu Lais Walli Mohamed, Anita Ahmad, Nawal Aini Zulkifli, Dr Malek Aziz, Farhanah Bamadhaj, Suriana Saiful, Danial Ismail, Faizal Ariff Abdullah, Nyna Mohsen, Rose Emini Pahamin, Farhan Ashroq, Adibah Syazni, Ahmad Afif Zamri, Mohd Arif Taqiyuddin, Wan Nurshazlina Wan Mohd Samsudin and Hyrene Erwina who trained hard at COBC and successfully conquered Mt Kinabalu peak for the first time last year.

Recently, we at the CHIEF's were proud at Haidar Akma and Noora Ann whom struggled through the bad weather, ignored their body fatique and climbed up to bring the NEW COBC Tee shirt at the highest peak in South East Asia!

SASUKE MALAYSIA- THE CHALLENGE DAY 2!!!

SASUKE MALAYSIA completed approx 70 contestants on Day 1 and another 50 contestants to compete today to qualify for the Finals in conjunction with PERHIMPUNAN 1 JUTA BELIA DI HARI BELIA !!!

Yesterday Ultraman flew all the way from his hometown to compete!!

Today is also the day Dato Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek organised a gathering of 1 million belia at Putrajaya!! There were various stalls and display of various exhibitions at PUTRAJAYA... Upon arrival, I stumbled upon fleets of military, police and fire brigade showcasing their force and me... being an owner of a military-inspired group outdoor CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP at BANDAR UTAMA, DAMANSARA HEIGHTS & SUBANG JAYA.. I could not resist camwhoring with the real Military personnel. To my surprise, the soldier knew of SASUKE and asked how can he compete too!!! He asked for my card and I handed to him with my personal contact number. ZAI JOHARI!!!!! Lets invite the military for next season YaaHoooo.. I think we should also invite representatives from the police, fire brigade and also the ministry of defense... That would make it really hardcore!

SASUKE MALAYSIA- THE CHALLENGE!!!! DAY 1

For the first time in Malaysian history, an obstacle challenge was build, designed, constructed & park smack right infront of the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya. There was a slight inevitable delay due to a heavy downpour this morning and the first contestant began at 10am. The CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP team came clad sexy in the training t'shirt. Spotted near the obstacle structure, the legendary Makoto Nagano from Japan. Makoto Nagano had attempted the Sasuke Japan Challenge more than 20 times.

HEALTH AWARENESS PROGRAM AT MURPHY OIL CORPORATION

26 May 2011. If there is any company that is worth being complimented, it must be the MURPHY OIL CORPORATION. Murphy Oil entered the Fortune 100 as world fastest growing company at no #78 in 2006 and being big, i mean huge...  does not take their focus away from 'Safety & Health Awareness' having organised a full day affair for Safety at work & health awareness!! Yes, big pocket always equals to big sinful food and that is where we the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP came in.

Ali Kadir, Murphy Safety Engineer was the man responsible for promoting the safety and health awareness. We, via Ahmad azri were invited to make aware the importance of health to the orang minyak.. err I mean... you know what i mean.

The employees at Murphy Oil were divided into two sessions to fit into Hall 3, Level 3 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). More than 300 employees were expected to attend the 'Safety & Health Awareness program and they were divided into two sessions with one seession starts at 8am to 12:00pm and the second session from 1pm to 5pm. We conducted the workout section for Murphy Oil the CHIEF's style for both morning and evening session.

THE COWBOYS AND COWGIRLS PARTY!!!! PART 1

Once upon a time, deep in the red river valley of Klang.. err I mean Klang Valley, Doc Holiday, an accomplished to Wyatt Earp arrived at a restaurant at Damansara Hill (direct translation of Bukit Damansara)

Doc Holiday or full name John Malek Doc Holiday Aziz was an American gambler, gunfighter and dentist of the American Old West, who is usually remembered for his friendship with Wyatt Earp and his involvement in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral as well as their partnership at the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP. For Doc Holiday's full story, click HERE.

Rumours has it, there will be a gatherings of hardcore untamed cowboys and girls converted into military inspired recruits!!! Legend has it Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday and Billy the kid are all still alive and are actually working together in a fine display of solidarity at a Military Inspired Camp known as the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP in Malaysia!!! They are now united with other 'lawmen' to convert the cowboys and girls into a military shaped hot physiques!

That is so true!!!

SPOTTED Doc Holiday (right) with lawman Corp Chun Pat Garret Chia Kai (left).

Pat Garret, also known as Patrick "Pat" Floyd Garret, was a lawman of the American Old West and bartender and a customs agent. He was also the sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH JAMES FONG & CHAN MENG YAM, CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP PIONEER MEMBER & OTAI!!

Part 3 of many series as a countdown to 1 year CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP ANNIVERSARY!! Part 1: Lilian Lee, Part 2: John Chuah.

People joined the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP for various reasons. Some does it for health purpose, some does it to be fit, some does it to lose weight and some does it because they were forced to (err... not by me except for some few friends). Some joined the COBC to force themselves to workout because that is also what I did. Simply surrender myself to the program for one full hour, three times a week.

Delta, 3 times voted the Spirit of Bootcamp & 8 Weeks Challenge finalist James Fong and hot ass Chan Meng Yam joined the COBC 11 months ago to prepare themselves to conquer the Pinnacles at Mulu Caves. Recalling their first experience in June 2010 last year, James Fong and Chan Meng Yam were both an owl being quite wide awake and was out everywhere drinking, dining & partying at night but their lifestyle change when they forced themselves to sleep early in fear of what workout Sarge (COBC) Dann was going to prescribe the next day.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH JOHN CHUAH, CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP PIONEER MEMBER & OTAI!!

Writing about Chief's Otaiis will not be complete without writing about John Chuah.. yaaa.. he has that bragging right at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP (COBC) solely because he is a living evidence that determination pays!! I first met John Chuah on FACEBOOK when he was deliberating to join the bootcamp or otherwise. When John Chuah first heard about the bootcamp, he took the courage to register and participate but had a storm of butterflies as it gets nearer to the actual start. He drove and park his car at one junction and 'spy' on what we do while training which is actually not a good idea. Having 'saw' what we do..... and calculating his age to the intensity algebra, he almost 'chicken out'.. almost backed-out but was convince when someone told him that the oldest participant was 57 years old.

Below was his video taken last year.. notice how lean he is compare to before.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH LILIAN LEE LIN LIN, CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP PIONEER MEMBER & OTAI!!

One month into the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP one year anniversary, we can't help but to ponder why and how did we get sucked into fitness and the CHIEF'S Healthy Lifestyle. Many people joined the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP for various reason. As a countdown to 1 year anniversary, let us go back into memory lane and see what the pioneer members say about the CHIEF ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP or formerly known as the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA. Take note on how they look before.... and if you know them, see how they look now. The first part of many series to come, is on pioneer OTAI Lilian Lee Lin Lin. See the Youtube video below.

Lilian Lee Lin Lin, a lawyer in Kuala Lumpur, the eldest of a sibling of two and a pioneer member at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP once changed her FACEBOOK status from 'single to "In a Relationship with" the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP (COBC). Lilian Lee first joined the COBC to run for full marathon when she had never run nor did she ever exercise. A month later, Lilian Lee ran the BHP Orange 10km run in June at the Curve, Mutiara Damansara and traveled to Perth, Australia in August and attended a session at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP in Perth. Being a hardcore bootcamper, she could not help but to compare the COBC at Bandar Utama to the OBC in Perth, Australia. Lilian Lee was our first recruit that went and tried COBC session in Australia. All recruits at the COBC can attend any session at COBC overseas being in the same global network.
