MISSION STATEMENT: AFGHANISTAN
The pinnacle of creativity is shrouded behind the mountain of
convention. Exhausting the universe of possibilities opens up new doors
to the diligent and determined. Frustration, novelty, and exigent
circumstances inspire adaptive creativity. Pushing the boundaries of our
resiliency whilst displaying the robust nature of our product demands
migration to the lowest peak of this world's playground.
Progress continues unabated and undeterred by the imposition of new and
austere surroundings. Although sterile conditions are ideal for physical
and mental peak performance, unsettled determination will be the judge
of personal reality.
324 has established a refugee camp in the hardened country of
Afghanistan, reserved for the dispossessed persons of a shrinking world
of ideas. Our new location is a reflection of our metaphysical position
in the periphery of civilization. Resourcefulness; not resources will be
the measurement of our success.

Friday, February 17, 2012 at 12:11PM At the risk of contradicting past practices and principles, the need to adapt to the current situation occupies the foreground. Although having sound policy and doctrine is an integral component of meeting one's strategic objectives, each scenario or snapshot should be measured against the prospect of success and tactics should be adjusted accordingly. Previous experience with training BJJ three nights per week favored an asymmetrical approach to auxiliary fitness, demanding a nonlinear approach without the obligation to periodize or progress through conventional movements. After increasing BJJ to six or seven nights per week, it has taken a dominant position in the regimen and made clear demands on how to progress in the gym while still maintaining sufficient energy on the mats. Contrary to previous experience, a more linear and predictable periodized approach has proven most beneficial. Although BJJ interferes with recuperation and has a discernible effect on execution, the benefits of observable progress coupled with a predictable pattern are worth the effort. The gross quantity of BJJ has met the asymmetrical needs for functional fitness whereas the linear approach to what has become auxiliary fitness has met the fundamental requirements of basic strength. In considering the myriad of life's scenarios, it is critical to adapt for progress. Stubbornly maintaining the only thing you know despite hostile conditions will only inspire frustration and stifle opportunities that are undetectable to the naked eye and brainwashed mind. Progress is made by any means necessary.
