Hey fellow Sasuke/NW fans, long time lurker, first time poster, so here goes! Also, flame me if need be, this might not belong here, but I found this interesting... Turns out theres a new obstacle course in the works, called Alpha Warrior. Not sure if they plan to make a show out of it or if its just another Spartan Challenge / Tough Mudder-esque course. Not much is known about it yet but it looks (and sounds) very similar to Sasuke. There's even a Spider Walk! Here's the site, there's also a link to their Facebook which has a few videos showcasing it a little. What do you guys think? alphawarrior.com/ |

Definitely seems somewhat inspired, mainly because of their Spider Walk (Which it seems they're going with G4's ANW error name "Spider Wall")

I didn't think to look in the other show forum before starting another topic on Alpha Warrior considering it isn't a show. Whatever.  Has anybody tried the course? Does anyone plan to? I'm looking forward to the Cincinnati Ohio dates if anyone wants to team up. |

Wow... Looks tough...Well, except for the Spider Walk...Even Yamada could clear that... Not a TOTAL copy... Save the Spider Walk, Hill Climb, Pole Slide, and the Radical Rings (Arm Rings)...

Does anyone know what happened to Alpha Warrior? It appears they've suspended operations as they have no events scheduled for 2014, and haven't updated their website, facebook or twitter accounts for several months.
I did notice that there was footage on ANW of Brent Steffensen and Kacy Catanzaro training at the Alpha Warrior gym in San Antonio. Is that still open?

I think they stopped the actual races, but the gym is open.

They realized that $99 for a 10 minute crappier version of SASUKE wasn't a strong business model so they became a crappier CrossFit gym instead. tl;dr I give it 6 months tops

From what I've heard, it appears to be too expensive for them to move from city to city building obstacles on the fly. They're now looking to open up a slew of gyms throughout the country and have the clients come to them.
