Scott Sonnon: Born to Fail - Made to Succeed

Flow: The Primary Attribute of Health-First Fitness

Australian CST Coach Donna Eddy demonstrates her “Slide-Thru” flow. Spending an extra week in Bellingham, Washington after CST Omicron, she received an incredible amount of additional training intensives, but she also shared why she has become Australia’s first CST Coach…

And here is an example of how two CST Instructors, John Wolf and Jim Romig, slowly erode the resistance of onlookers and transform prospectives into clients… just by training themselves everyday:

The strength and conditioning world in most cases totally neglects performance in favor of the “bigger, faster, stronger” mentality. But human performance, whether athletic or personal excellence, requires mastery of the basic coordinative abilities, which are according to Jozef Drabik (Children & Sports Training):

• Balance: Maintenance of the center gravity over the base of support, it is both a static and a dynamic quality - which refers to movement sense of mechanoreception.

• Kinesthetic Differentiation: Ability to feel tension to in movement to achieve the desired movement - which refers to the force/tension sense of mechanoreception.

• Spatial Orientation: The control of the body in space - which refers to position sense of mechanoreception.

• Reaction to Signals: The ability to respond quickly auditory, visual and kinesthetic cues - also known as Reaction Time.

• Sense of Rhythm: The ability to match movement to time - also known as Timing Precision.

• Synchronization of Movements in Time: Unrelated limb movements done in a synchronized manner - also known as Essential Synergy.

• Movement Adequacy: Ability to choose movements appropriate to the task - as it relates to Hick’s Law.

Spontaneity has all but been bred out of modern physical culture… which has become a collection of robotic, monotonous repetition of “working out.” The new renaissance of human movement potential - seen in disciplines such as Circular Strength Training, Parkour, Flow Yoga, MMA B-Boy, X-Games, etc - is breaking us free of these degenerative motoric habits, and returning our focus to the coordinative abilities.

As you can see from the video, RMAX International isn’t a company surrounding a one-trick pony. It’s a stable of thoroughbreads growing larger with each seminar… I’m so proud of my coaching staff and instructor cadre, and Donna, John and Jim are perfect example of what you can expect when you meet a certified RMAX teacher.
