Itʼs easiest for me to refer to it as “our gymnastics” but since it appears too ambiguous a title, I adopted tactical gymnastics in honor of the martial heritage of my coaches.
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.
• You will recover much more rapidly from sudden changes in movement, accidents, collisions, destabilizations, and forced translations.
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.
For me, thereʼs only incremental progression, biomechanical efficiency and specific preparedness: baby steps, flow and purpose.
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.
By flow, Iʼm referring to the concrete, quantifiable science of pain-free, effortless quality of movement.
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.

I cannot promise you that youʼll become an overnight snake eater, or Musashi in a month. I cannot guarantee you that youʼll be able to levitate, throw fireballs, or teleport either. No hype. No buzz. No BS: • You will increase your ability to express power while decreasing how much effort required to do so.
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.
These three concentrations united all of the broad shoulders I stand upon." TACGYM, I can say without reservation, is the pinnacle of my career in consolidating the principles and concepts of the science of flow into concrete, easy to follow, simple to progress building blocks of movement.
