My 2014 American Ninja Warrior submission video
In one of the recent topics, it came up that I was on American Ninja Warrior last year and a few of you were fans of the show. I just submitted my video for this years audition, so I figured I'd show you guys. Here it is:

If you don't know what ANW is, it's a show that's being aired on NBC where contestants from across the country run crazy difficult obstacle courses in hopes that somebody will beat it and win 500,000 bucks. No American has done it yet, but this show originated in Japan and 3 people have beaten it over there. Anyway, this year the video couldn't be longer than 4 minutes. I don't blame them for making that decision, but it was tough to condense everything into that short a time limit. Still, I think it turned out pretty good. Managed to cram a lot of info about myself as well as show off some physical prowess. Plus, a little cheesy humor to keep it interesting. On the plus side, they let us use any music we want this year, as opposed to their limited and generic unlicensed stuff.
After last year, I realized that they mostly just care about your story and background more than they care about your physical ability, so I decided to emphasize my life as a teacher and martial artist a little bit more. I still kept some relevant obstacles in the action shots, demonstrating I can do the salmon ladder, warped wall, quintuple steps, spider climb, etc.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it and I hope ANW casting does too. Wish me luck.
