We have another training camp coming up on Dec 13-15th near Big Bug Mesa west of Mayer and we are looking for guys to play OPFOR and have a good time while the students get punished.. I mean trained.

Date: 13 - 15 Dec 2013

Location: Breezy Pines rd & Big Bug Mesa rd, West of Mayer on top of the mesa.

Terrain: Mesa, fairly level but rocky terrain

Uniform: Any Desert Style (3 Color, Desert Marpat, Desert Tiger, Multicam, etc...)

Cost: $25.00 pay to Mark Anderson at event

Mission: Provide opposing forces for students with option to participate in hand to hand and live fire training or continue playing mil-sim scenarios.

Students will be learning basic mil-sim skills such as patrolling, recon, ambush, react to ambush, and two man team maneuvers. On Sunday they will be learning combat grappling, weapon retention and disarming, and live fire training.

OPFOR is allowed to bring live fire weapons and ammo for Sunday however, these weapons are not allowed to be uncased for any reason until Sunday. No show and tell BS.

*** There is also a good chance that we will have a Blackhawk helicopter at the event and as part of the scenarios. We are still working out the details with the pilot. So I will keep you updated. ***

Please post and let me know who is interested and if you have any questions.

For those who do not know the Spartan Sprint is just like the Warrior Dash. And if you don't know what the Warrior dash go Google it. I'm not your daddy!

So here is the deal. We (American Pankration) are really good friends with the owner of the Spartan Races and he has given us 1000 tickets for Sunday to do what ever we like. Therefore, we are going to be giving them away at the event in exchange for a donation to several charities. $5, $10, $20, whatever you would like to donate. The tickets are normally $120 so here is your chance to get in for much less. Just show up at the American Pankration booth on Sunday morning and make your donation. First come first severed.

We are also putting on a Bikini Contest & Jello Wrestling Event next Sunday Night 2/10 from 10pm-2am. After our athletes are done racing and beating people down with pugit sticks at the finish line of the Spartan Race there will be an after party fundraising event Sponsored by the School of Rock on Mill Ave, in Tempe, AZ. Procedes from the bar and admission will go to a variety of charities through Creekside Outreach such as: Wounded Warrior Project, Green Beret Foundation, CSOR-Disabled Veterans, Spartan Shield PTSD Program, and Save Roman. If interested in taking part in this non-sense to raise money, please come out. If you mention AP Spartan Nation at the door it is a $5 cover charge. In the main area with the DJ and Jello pit is 18 & over, and 21 and over must have wrist band to get into back bar area.

See you guys there!

2012 Spartan Tactical Challenge I - (SPARTAC)

Date: 7-9 Sept 2012
Location: Camp Spartan, Prescott, AZ
Cost: $130.00 (Covers admission and ammunition)

Summary: The Spartan Tactical Challenge is designed to mix short tactical scenarios with interesting challenges such as rappelling, live fire courses, and hand to hand combatives. This is a one of a kind event where you will not only get to engage in force on force missions but also learn and play with new skills at your own pace. Many of our instructors are prior special operations members that will be fighting along side your team in the tactical scenarios as well as instructing through the challenges. This course is developed only to push you as far as your teams wants to go. No pressure, just a lot of tired fun!

Tactical Missions: These missions will be designed as force on force scenarios using airsoft equipment. You will be issued a Operational Order (OPORD) prior to the event along with any necessary Fragmentation Orders (FRAGO) prior to the initial mission deployment.

Special Missions: These mission will give you tasks to recover, protect, or destroy your objective before the enemy can. You will be issued a FRAGO with the necessary information.
   
Advanced Missions: Throughout the day teams will be given FRAGOs that will send them to accomplish advanced missions. These missions will involve a rappelling course and a hand to hand course. The rappeling course is designed for both beginners and advanced students. Don't worry if you are new to rappelling, we will be happy to teach you as we will have several lines setup. For those who are comfortable in rappelling we will teach you Australian style and have targets or opposing forces (OPFOR) setup to test your ability to shoot and move over steep terrain. Again it is up to you as to how far you want to go. We will also have a series of tactical live fire courses. These courses will give you the opportunity to learn how to shoot and move at the same time. We will also have a long range course where you will get to shoot a 50cal. Barrett M82 as well as other specialized rifles. The hand to hand combatives mission will give you to opportunity to learn some of the basic grappling that we teach to the special operations community. You will also have the opportunity to wrestle with your teammates in your full gear. (Minus your hard points such as radios, weapons, knives, etc.) Dont worry if you have never done this. That is the point. most have never tried it until they were in combat. That's a bit too late. Just remember you are here to have fun and gain new experiences.

The date seams to work for just about everyone which is good cause we hate moving an event.

Also I want to put out a question to everyone. As we are working on the scenarios, is there any particular mission or scenario you would like to see?
