What is a Challenge Coin? Coining dates back to the Roman Empire where soldiers were awarded special coins for merits above and beyond. This tradition still lives today within the Special Operations communities of our Military and Police units. Some units give challenge coins for the sake of unity while others give them to members that have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Either way it is something well earned! What is the Coin Game? Once you receive a coin it has to be kept on your person or at least one step and a reach away from you for the rest of your life. At any given time another coin holder can do what is called a coin check by taking out their challenge coin and saying, I’m initiating a coin check on so & so. At that time if so & so cannot produce their coin with no more than a step and a reach away, he or she will owe the person doing the coin check a meal or drink of their choice. If so & so does produce their coin then the person that has initiated the coin check owes so & so a meal or drink of their choice! For all you Grip Masters out there that would like to get a Master Practitioners Challenge Coin and join in on the age old Coin Game, here is what you have to do. There are six options to choose from and you will need to send us a video of the feat that you choose to perform. 1. Pass the Iron Claw Challenge. This is the entry level and the easiest of the six. See our Iron Claw Challenge page for more information on this. Iron Claw Challenge 2. Close a Captains of Crush # 3 gripper with a table no set close. This means that you pick the gripper up off the table with the same hand you are going to close it with and slam that puppy shut! You may not use your free hand or any other part of your body to help place the gripper in your hand. 3. Bend the Ironmind Red Nail into a U shape. When you have finished the bend, both inside ends of the nail need to be within a two inch marker. You can use no more than Ironmind hand pads to accomplish this and you are not allowed to double wrap the nail. 4. Lift a 50lb. hex block or York Blob with one hand. You may use chalk for this but no sticky resin is allowed. You must lift it to a full standing position. 5. Pinch together and lift two 45lb. weight plates off the ground to a full standing position. You must use the flat side of each plate to pinch them together. You may use chalk for this but no sticky resin is allowed. 6. 45lb. weight plate hub pinch lift with one hand. You must lift this to a full standing position. You may use chalk for this but no sticky resin is allowed. 7. Lever a 12 lb sledge hammer with a 32 inch handle from the ground up, ( Slim the Hammer Man style,)and then while standing, lever the hammer to a full horizontal position. The handle must reach horizontal and your holding hand may never go lower than your shoulder. This is calculated at 383 inch pounds.
