Thinking outside the gaming box

Back when I would spend 5 days a week 2 hours a day doing Capoeira, the word muscle fatigue came to mind by the end of the class. But you wait maybe 20 mins after class and you'd be ready to go again.

Why is it then that with something like capoeira a person can go for a long period of time and then something like strength and conditioning training for the upper body, its like 10-15 mins and your like "okay moving on because that part is done...."

I think what I'm trying to get at is, capoeira is a martial art but its also a game, a fast kicking, makes you feel like your super human game. And while by the end of 2 hours your legs are roasted, the regular touch and go impact of capoeira is not completely devastating to the body.

Is it possible to make a "game" out of an upper body workout? Obviously for many after a few seconds of doing pull ups or swining from side to side your body is toast. Even for those training Ninja Warrior, high intensity training for a min and your toast. But what if it where possible to lower that intensity, make you physically lighter than you normally are?

Here me out while I ramble and put this all together in my head.

If you can't do a pull up you have two options, either you switch to a pull down cable OR you use a heavy resistance band to take some (or alot) of your weight away. At a certain body weight the later is a better choice of the two. What I'm proposing is why not create a game or some method of training using a cabling system that takes the weight and pressure off your body and allows you to use that upper body strength for longer periods of time.

Two options:

1. You could use the cable system to aid people in doing advanced calisthenic exercises, like pull ups, muscle ups, explosive kip ups, finger grip pull ups, and on and on and on....

2. You could use the cable system and make a game. Have you ever heard of the "Jump Gym" or "Sky High Gym"? They are facilities that have giant trampolines EVERYWHERE, so they play dodgeball or just jump all over the crazy place, it makes you feel super human (even if its just a moment). Why can't a game like that be made with a cable system? It doesn't have to be a crazy complicated game, but something good.... l

You'd need a safety harness and instead of a cable you'd need some type of resistance band to support your body and difference strength of resistance depending on your body weight and strength. The final piece you'd need is something to allow you to move around the room..... you know the part thats actually attached to the ceiling. If it where just a simple exercise something that doesn't move would be fine, but if it was some sort of game you'd need some sort of ability to shift the cable around in the ceiling..... that I'm not really sure how to do but I'm sure SOMETHING like that exists... like for high wire or something.

It could be like a zip line but then you can only move 2 directions. I think I have an idea for how you could move around the room all over the place but its too complicated for me to verbally explain, I've have to draw it out.
