2012 Total Warrior: Tactical Training & Winning Mindset Camp

Total Warrior

ATTENTION!!

The 2012 Total Warrior isn’t just a training event. It’s much more. It’s an opportunity to give back and say thank you to the men and women of our law enforcement community who put there lives on the line, day in and day out, to keep us safe.

The unfortunate reality is not all of these warriors will make it home at the end of the day. Sometimes the bad guys win. And in those situations the wives, husbands, children and families of our fallen heroes must be taken care of. That’s our duty.

Not everyone can make it to the Total Warrior Camp. But everyone has two minutes to click on the link below and donate $5. Or $10. Or whatever you feel it’s worth to have someone come to your assistance when you have to dial 9-1-1.

Here’s the link to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund:http://support.nleomf.org/site/TR/Events/PersonalFundraising?pxfid=1850&fr_id=1080&pg=fund

If you’d like to come this event and have the opportunity to attend a lecture by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman or train with TACFIT Founder Scott Sonnon or Navy SEAL Stephen Nave or NYPD Tactical Training Unit Director Bill Wallace, you can sign up here: http://www.apc360zone.com/25.html

We hope to see you at the Total Warrior Camp and appreciate your support.

TACFIT BARBARIAN

http://www.tacfitbarbarian.com/?hop=spartantg

“In TACFIT Barbarian, Scott Sonnon does an excellent job of creating a training regimen that anyone can use. After initially breaking complex movements into their simplest forms, he develops the movement back into the complex one from which it was derived.

This simplicity allows for an enthusiast at any level to use the program and progress through each movement flawlessly. Also, it is set up so that the user just has to follow along the weekly or 4 day schedules that Scott spells out to advance through the program. Tacfit Barbarian has yielded great results for me, and will do the same for anyone that uses the program. I look forward to being able to implement this program for the athletes that I work in both performance improvement and rehabilitation.”

– Matthew Wiswesser, ATC, LAT, Head Athletic Trainer at Bethlehem Catholic High School

 

“I recently had the privilege of a pre-release preview of the upcoming ‘TACFIT Barbarian’ & ‘King of Clubs’.

As a business owner, trainer and fighter, I need a training program that helps me increase functional strength and athleticism. For the last year, TACFIT Commando & Mass Assault have been my weapons of choice. I can tell you with 100% certainty that today, at age 37, I am in the best shape of my life and it is thanks to these programs.

‘TACFIT Barbarian’ & ‘King of Clubs’ are the next steps in the evolution of, what is in my opinion, the most comprehensive, functional training programs available.

‘Barbarian’ by name sounds very primal, very brute, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s sophisticated. It’s brilliant. The inclusion of the parallettes was genius. As with Commando, each mission in Barbarian is progressively more complex so your nervous system adapts by effectively becoming more efficient. One run through the four-day cycle and you’ll know you’re in for a challenge. I’ve been training for 20+ years and have tried many programs which don’t deliver as promised. TACFIT does. Barbarian will. I can’t wait to get my hands on the whole thing.

‘King of Clubs’ is like no other Clubbell program you’ve ever tried. If you want to achieve true ‘tactical fitness’, this is the program that will get you there. Once you learn the basics, things really take-off. Everything you need to develop your technique and monitor your progress is made readily available. The walkthroughs are clear and concise. It’s evident that a huge degree of thought and preparation went into this program. Couple ‘King’ with ‘Barbarian’ and you’ll be a force to be reckoned with.

The 28-Day Primal Challenge is here! You’ll be amazed at the amount of information Scott Sonnon has packed into 17 short pages. You think you know food? Think you ‘eat clean’? Think again. This 4-week challenge will change your life. Every page is better than the last one. From eating healthy fats to the dangers of grains and gluten, Scott has given you everything you need to take control of your health and transform your lifestyle.”

Spartan Goddess

Spartan Goddess. The world’s first personal protection training armour designed and contoured specifically for a woman.

EVOLVE OR DIE!

Would you rather be a Neanderthal or a Contemporary Human Being?

For a relatively young individual I have a spent a long time researching my own experiences utilizing the lens of Combative training, including Martial Art, Empty Hand and Weaponry, and other related tools that shape the physical human form. Such molding seems at first to be purely on a physical level, but to those few that have gone the distance with intensity, it is very much a psychological, emotional and even spiritual metamorphosis as well.

Over the past year I have been bombarded by questions about why I have switched, detoured or even re-vamped my training by moving away from some sources of information in the combative world. I thought I would share this salient response.

Evolve or Die !! Would you rather train in the original almost Paleolithic way, or would you rather evolve in the new advancements that others have pioneered in their own unique wisdom.

Take the Functional Edge System, that is developed by my friend and colleague Tony Torres. I just spent the last 2 weeks, training with and assisting in conducting programs for Law Enforcement, Military, Civilian and Private Security personnel. here is what I have seen against the backdrop of my previous training. Tony Torres, gives all respect due to his sources of information, which include Notable martial artists and Combative Trainers, like Dan Inosanto, Erik Paulson, Chai Sirisute, Tony Blauer etc. However he has taken the material to a completely different level. I have had the fortunate experience to train and work with some of those same trainers and others as well in my own journey and I can clearly see the differences and improvements.

And some in the industry see my training with and endorsement of Tony Torres, and his training evolutions as disloyal and a dishonorable departure from my own sources. So I have two initial responses:

Firstly try it and really immerse yourself and really compare and contrast and honestly say whether it does not hold its own in the industry. For instance I have seen many former trainers who had previous experience in the combative world have their epiphanies while reviewing the material.

Secondly I ask the question- Would you rather own a Model T or a Ferrari? Would you rather eat raw meat or Filet Mignon ? The original is fine. But progress is inevitable unless you are a Luddite.

The other improvements I have been fortunate and open minded enough to experience are in the world of Protective Equipment. For years there was the prototype and the only product in the space that we used. Now there is SPARTAN Training Gear. Not only has the company developed a Goddess suit, the first suit specifically designed to accommodate the anatomical differences of female participants, but they are working on another innovation with a K9 suit for Police trainers and their K9’s. The main model- the Hoplite, is at first glance a colored version of another product with ABS. Those comments are really simplistic and uninformed. There are over 30 changes that were made to the original design that include Helmet re-design to allow better force distribution and cushioning, an improved visor that does not fog!! Any person who has used the other suits long enough have encountered the little mal-functions that make a big difference when training. For instance the Velcro straps that keep coming off, or the knee pads that offer little cushioning to the lateral angles etc. The point here is, since the first design from Nike from Prefontaine’s ideas, many innovations have been made and to the undiscerning eye or in the tone of blind condemnation, the are just shoes, and rip offs of the original.

No one has a monopoly on genius and innovation. This is the way of the world. When you put your stuff out there in the universe it is going to influence, and stimulate other ideas etc. Read Malcolm Gladwell’s  Book- What the Dog saw. and you will see a great chapter on Plagiarism etc. What is original exactly? I always laughed at people, who copyrighted ( or made their students believe that they did) sayings that originated from Bruce Lee or Tsun Tzu. Hell, even Bruce Lee’s designs for a force on force suit look very similar to the ones we have now? Copy Cat? Come on . And guess what if you think I am a Bruce Lee Champion, my JKD colleague’s may take offense to this at first glance, but know its true, alot fo the Philosophy of JKD, Lee’s Art, came from an Indian philosopher J.N. Krishnamurti. Before MMA in the US, there was Pancrase, Lucha Libre, Shooto, and Kalari death matches. So come on, what is original.

I know for one, society has evolved leaps and bounds over eons of time. The unnatural thing is to resist the evolution. And nature has a funny way of promoting Evolution over stagnation.

Evolve or Die!!
