Coach Sonnon's Arnold Classic Presentation

[Coach Hurst]

For those of you who haven't seen this video watch it, watch it, watch it!!! :)

It was filmed at the Arnold Classic Active Aging Festival following Jack LaLanne's presentation.

I just watched it again and didn't want any of you to miss this great presentation.

Great presentation though I wish I could view the whole thing. Coach Sonnon looks pretty sexy ^^ ;)

I love seeing the presentation of CST courses in different contexts like this. We see slightly different angles and situational explanations. I especially loved hearing Coach Sonnon's answer to the question from the crowd. Information like that is priceless for those of us aspiring to teach the material.

Thanks for posting that Coach Hurst!

[Coach Tran]

Beautiful.

it is times like this when i start kicking myself for not signing up for the fall/winter cst seminar.

it's always a pleasure to watch someone who really knows their material.

I'm glad to see people get exposed to Ageless Mobility and CST. Great job Coach!

Always good to see a master instructor in action. I love the way Scott seamlessly converted a potential distraction into a critical piece of the lesson! :) This is the kind of stuff any would-be instructor needs to see. CST seminars are golden opportunities not only for the CST material, but to experience world-class instruction first-hand.

Wish I'd been there to see the whole presentation, Coach! Congrats again on being invited to follow Mr. Lalanne!

[Chuck Kechter]

Excellent!

[Coach Gostnell]

That was great!

Great job, Coach Sonnon! Being able to explain and direct the movement of the student who wants to understand is really fun to witness.

Thanks for posting this, Coach Hurst!

It was wonderful to see here what I've seen before... Coach Sonnon's ease, charm and presence of compassion engaged with real live humans. I truly HATE to sound like a "true believer," but there is something like magic that occurs when he engages actual souls.

Back at the Sambo seminar, I got a brief one-to-one dose of that... Coach Sonnon was helping me grok a throw, and as he prepared to toss me, I found myself involuntarily bracing. He asked, "WHAT are you doing?" Embarrassed that I'd been caught, and that it was obvious what I was doing, I said "Protecting myself." He leaned forward, right in front of my face, and said, very quietly, "I'm the LAST person you need to protect yourself from."

Now, I've been blessed with some contact with a several truly world-class teachers (mostly in music-related stuff), not just in terms of their knowledge and technique, but in what truly makes a teacher great... the ability to feel and think into another human's head (even gut and heart) and once there, cause a common movement toward a specific goal and good... and I will say flatly that there's NOTHING a person may do that impresses me more.

And I will say that it was crystaline, by the nature and content and pure presence of that one bit of contact that I was very briefly in the eye of the storm (a very, very small corner of a storm called "learning something") with one of the best; someone whose candle I believe would fairly stand along with any similar flame, anywhere.

So, yeah, that's a piece of what gets put out there, and what its worth getting near any bit you can... because it's fruitful in unexpected ways, and because it tends to wake something inside right on up.

End of softrant.
