This simple “formula” informs all our decisions related to movement, equipment and programming

Integrated Motion

The body was designed to work as an integrated unit doing ground-based movements (ON YOUR FEET!)

Pillar Movements

There are SIX basic movements. Push, Pull, Rotation, Locomotion, Level Change and Complexes (any combination of two or more of the first five). A complete training program should cover all of them.

Planes of Motion

The body is capable of work in three planes of motion or even all three at the same time.

Force Lines

The resistance to motion can come at different angles

Loads

Loads can be equal on both sides of the body or they can be only on one side of the body.

Intensity (Power)

The body can expend energy slowly or quickly. The body should be trained to do both efficiently and all points in-between.
