Nice idea but thing about the real thing is you put your 150% in to it or you will be doing it again and again and again or worse... Doesn't really work like that if your paying the instructor!

I saw them once in a park of in the Rathfarnham area....can't remember the name. There wa sa hand-written sign on a piece of cardboard advertising their website.

To be honest, it all looked very amateurish and makeshift. Granted, it was over a year ago, so maybe they were just starting out or something, but it just looked like a bunch of middle-aged people doing callisthenic exercises.

I've just started back running myself, and guess what, its free!!! and I also kicked off an exercise regime, and thats free to!!

I must be doing something wrong, if I'm supposed to be giving hard earned Airsofty money to somebody, i'd rather give it to shiva, not some PTI!!!:D

As long as you shout military cadences and carry a tape recorder of random Hartman-esque abuse around with you while you work out, you're pretty much getting the full experience anyway.

Masada

"who said that?!,"
who the f*%k said that!!"
"whos the slimey little chit twinkletoed co*k sucker down here that just signed his own death warrant?!!"
Nobody said it huh, the fairy Fu*king godmother said it".,

Lee Ermey .... best (ex) USMC Gunnery Sergeant (his actual rank) ever captured on-screen

He was also a technical adviser for the USMC on that film and wasn't actually meant to play the part of Hartman but did such a good job of showing the actor how it was done he got given the job instead

He was also both a chopper pilot & technical adviser in Apocalypse Now as well.

NakedDex

I read that he was in Apocolypse now somewhere too, didn't know it was as a pilot though.

He is one of the most enduring characters of any war movie. I doubt the character would have had as much vigour and tanacity had he been played by an actor.
