Tactical Gymnastics
TACGYM can appear to have elements of Russian Systema, Chinese Bagua, Indonesian Silat, French Parkour, Persian Zurkhaneh, Brazilian Gymnastica Natural, and Indian Vyayam.
Just you and I - for a moment - before you come inside and check out what Iʼve created for you. If youʼre a first-timer, and you donʼt know who I am, allow me to introduce myself as one of the worldʼs leading researchers (and guinea pigs) on the nature of flow.
However, after all these years of synthesis, I cannot remember where I first learned any one movement, which held primary influence or even how to differentiate movements any longer.
Iʼm not disrespecting them, or you if youʼre from them; just stating that Iʼm not going to be sharing with you anything about any unseen forces.
By “flow” I donʼt mean the kind of ethereal, nebulous kind of energy that people inthe healing disciplines discuss.
And in many cases, I had to graft components together to form new movements to meet the fighting needs of my students.
Many thanks to you and your team!" Daniel Modell Commanding Officer Tactical Training Unit New York Police Department “ Hello my friend , Iʼd like to speak candidly, without any hypeorstatistics.
By flow, Iʼm referring to the concrete, quantifiable science of pain-free, effortless quality of movement.
Iʼve tested this out on myself first. Iʼve put it under the most difficult trials possible, placing myself in one combat sport after another - at an international championship level - to debug all the problems and plug all the gaps.
And the data that Iʼve received from my personal application, as well as the ongoing feedback I receive from the agencies I consult, has forced me to evolve my coaching to the point of publishing Tactical Gymnastics.
My job is serving those who serve us and protecting those who protect us. Itʼs my honor to do this job. And in the process of doing this work, Iʼve had the privilege of studying with great masters around the world.
Iʼve spent the past 30 years exploring different movement modalities, the past 20 years studying them exhaustively, and the past 10 years refining my coaching skills to share the library of movement Iʼve learned from around the world.
