• You will be smoother in everything that you do, all your exercise, recreation and even job-related activities will be done with greater suppleness and grace.
• You will recover much more rapidly from sudden changes in movement, accidents, collisions, destabilizations, and forced translations.
For me, thereʼs only incremental progression, biomechanical efficiency and specific preparedness: baby steps, flow and purpose.
• You will reduce and eliminate acute and chronic pains that may be riddling you, leading to improved quality of life.
• You will prevent injuries from happening, and lessen those severe injuries which may occur, as your connect tissue strength, joints, and response time improves.
• Of course, this will improve your strength, cardio, flexibility, agility, endurance, stamina, et cetera...
I must not. Thatʼs why I continue to refine, and rework, and research, and test it all out on myself first, before sharing only what repeatable, consistently, sustainably works for everyone, not just the meager 15% who could do well in spite of poor coaching.
• You will feel much more energy throughout your body, and throughout your day, and that will have a dramatic impact upon your mood, attitude and perspective.
• You will be able to navigate obstacles and challenges with ease and imagination as your body learns to adapt to new physical skills at an accelerated rate.
I cannot promise you that youʼll become an overnight snake eater, or Musashi in a month. I cannot guarantee you that youʼll be able to levitate, throw fireballs, or teleport either. No hype. No buzz. No BS: • You will increase your ability to express power while decreasing how much effort required to do so.
Many roads will get you to graceful power. Only a few paths will get you there uninjured. This isnʼt a sink or swim method, like many of the units Iʼve trained with use. My approach focuses on the 85% of you who, like me, cannot succeed in spite of improper coaching. Because of my childhood disabilities, I still need to exploit every training technology useful in order to keep my teams ahead of the bad guys who are willing to throw 20-something cannon fodder into the meat-grinder.
• You will become keenly sensitive to movement, position and force / tension, as your bodily awareness improves.
These three concentrations united all of the broad shoulders I stand upon." TACGYM, I can say without reservation, is the pinnacle of my career in consolidating the principles and concepts of the science of flow into concrete, easy to follow, simple to progress building blocks of movement.
There will be, of course, the unstated premise: “if I was pain-free, if I didnʼt have the injuries preventing me, if I had the mobility and range of motion to do so...” This premise distinguishes TACGYM.
If youʼre looking to burn fat or bulk up, sure, youʼll build muscle and lose body fat practicing tactical gymnastics, but these are not their primary goals; much like the warrior physique is merely a by-product, not the intent, of fig[...].
No doubt. But many things will do that. Very few disciplines also offer the above. If youʼre one of the few who see a martial artist, gymnast, boxer or wrestler and think, “Iʼd really love to be able to move with that kind of silent power,” then TACGYM is probably for you.
