Earlier this week I set out into the forrest to get in a heavy clubbell training session. Trekking out, deep into Mother Nature, for a bit of communion and physical activity is something that I hold very dear. I grew up next to a set of woods, so I feel right at home under a [...]
Side Bending Is Ancient History
Oh, don’t get me wrong… Side bending is NOT gone with the wind. However, today we’re absolutely looking at it as a thing of the past. Stay with me now… When we talk about mindful movement, we talk about being fully present in our practice – not dwelling in the past (or pining for the [...]
Clubbell Flow Evolution
I take a lot of pride in my programming. I’m not one to just throw something against the wall, hoping that it will stick. There’s thought and contemplation, experimentation and analysis, adjustment and outfitting that goes into a program’s build and deployment. Before I REALLY made a go at this movement coaching thing, I was [...]
Harmonize The Stability / Mobility Continuum To Move With More Power And Grace
The trending hot-topic in our Virtual Coaching forum deals with the stability/mobility continuum, and the role it plays in producing graceful and powerful movement. It’s a discussion that was sparked by one of our member’s fabulous journaling – which by the way, if you’re NOT journaling in your own training, you should start NOW (more [...]
Clubbell Give & Take Explorations
It was a GORGEOUS day here in Jersey today. And, thus, provided the perfect excuse to get outdoors and get some honest, heavy clubbell training in. Then again, we don’t really need too much of an excuse to get outside and train, do we??? One thing I like to do in my training is film [...]
4 Houses, 1 Community: Transform Your Movement, Transform Your Life
Some of the more frequent comments I’ll get from visitors on this site are those regarding my tagline: Transform Your Movement, Transform Your Life. Some jive with it, others don’t. It’s cool either way, though, because it’s not simply a swath of plaster applied by a marketing hand. It’s a statement that I truly believe [...]
Being Fully Present In Your Practice: Mindful Movement And Personal Mastery
How involved are you with your training? It’s a question that quite often comes up in discussion with friends, training partners and potential clients. Typical answers tend to go a little something like, “I try to work out at least three times per week…” or, “Sometimes I’ll do something I found online, sometimes I’ll just kinda make [...]
Body Weight Solutions Basics
A sustainable, equipment free, digital deluxe program, designed to create more flow in your life.
At the end of the day, it’s about the process, the journey, and not the destination. And my goal is for Body Weight Solutions Basics to provide a forum for movement exploration and a means to attain more grace, ease and confidence in the way in which we conduct our daily lives.
Clubbell Small Group Training: Working The Front Rock-It
Contrary to what that headline may lead some to believe, we are NOT training to use our clubbell as a projectile. If we’re minding our technique and using the clubbell correctly, training the Front Rock-It will not result in any stratosphere (or glass) shattering. The Clubbell Front Rock-It, and all the relatives within its family [...]
Is Your Posture Making You A Target For Violence?
For some of us, that question is one that’s not too comfortable to entertain. This is a health and fitness blog after all – what’s violence got to do with it, right? Understandable first impression. Yet, it’s a question that we’d be best-advised to not dismiss as one of irrelevance. Pay close enough attention to [...]

The Blade Smart System And Movement Psychology
I recently ventured out to the Nevada desert to engage in five days of Filipino and Indonesian combat art training with the infamous Master Barry “Cuda” Yedwabnick. The Filipino and Indonesian arts have a lot to offer both those interested in combat/self-defense and personal mastery. However, it was the arts highly developed movement pallette that [...]
