John's a resident of my town and I'll occassionally see him and his beautiful family stroll by my 'office' where I'm answering emails at the local cafe.
A strong Marine with an athletic history, John brings an educated perspective to the mix. One of my favorite quotes from his written exam: "Just recently I got under a bench press for the first time in 8 months. I used to love this exercise, but when I was through, I felt like I’d been watching a purple dinosaur sing on television for an hour when I wanted to read a great novel! I worked the antagonist movement for muscular balance but it felt incomplete. The way it isolated the frontal plane of movement in this one direction made me wonder how I never had a serious shoulder injury."
But my favorite quote and clincher in his exam is the following description of his development of a specialized combination routine: "The process of creating this combination came from my practice of, and love for the individual movements involved, and my desire to create combination that demonstrated control and power, combinations that look almost martial in nature.
Learning, creating, and mastering new movements is one of the greatest pleasures of Circular Strength training. It eliminates stagnancy, inspires creativity and enthusiasm, and promotes competency and skill. It is a major factor in the dynamic nature of Circular Strength. When we are inspired by another’s movement, we emulate it. Then we may alter it, or ad on to it, and show others, who are likewise inspired. A spiraling communal ascent to sophistication and mastery."
John, you have a great deal to bring to the table. And I appreciate the effort that went into your personal accounts described in your exam.
