Scott Sonnon – Tactical Gymnastics
“I have three words for Scott Sonnon: OUTSTANDING- OUTSTANDING- OUTSTANDING!
I have the privilege of previewing Scott’s new Tactical Gymnastics program and I have to say that Scot has done it again; another outstanding program by the flow coach. It didn’t take 10 minutes for me to bring some new and exciting pieces of curriculum into my school, but I will probably be refining these skills for 10 years. Scott’s approach is thorough and smart.
The instruction and production is easy to follow, professional and well put together. As a lifelong martial artist I can appreciate the benefits Tactical Gymnastics brings. I am using this program to combat over training symptoms and…IT IS WORKING. In the short time I have been using this I already feel my joints opening and my mobility increasing.
Bottom line- I give this program my highest recommendation. This is what is giving me and my students the edge and this is what all tactical operators need to give them the advantage.”

“Hello my friend,
Iʼd like to speak candidly, without any hypeorstatistics.
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.
By “flow” I donʼt imply the type of ethereal, nebulous type of vitality that folks inthe therapeutic disciplines focus on. Iʼm not disrespecting them, otherwise you if youʼre from them; simply stating that Iʼm not going to be sharing with you something about any unseen forces. By circulate, Iʼm referring to the concrete, quantifiable science of ache-free, easy high quality of motion.
My job is serving those that serve us and defending those that defend us. Itʼs my honor to do that job. And within the technique of doing this work, Iʼve had the privilege of learning with nice masters around the globe.
Iʼve spent the previous 30 years exploring completely different motion modalities, the previous 20 years learning them exhaustively, and the previous 10 years refining my teaching expertise to share the library of motion Iʼve realized from around the globe.
Iʼve examined this out on myself first. Iʼve put it below essentially the most troublesome trials potential, inserting myself in a single fight sport after one other – at a world championship stage – to debug all the issues and plug all of the gaps. And the information that Iʼve obtained from
my private utility, in addition to the continued suggestions I obtain from the companies I seek the advice of, has compelled me to evolve my teaching to the purpose of publishing Tactical Gymnastics.

TACGYM can seem to have parts of Russian Systema, Chinese language Bagua, Indonesian Silat, French Parkour, Persian Zurkhaneh, Brazilian Gymnastica Pure, and Indian Vyayam. Nonetheless, in any case these years of synthesis, I can’t keep in mind the place I first realized anybody motion, which held major affect and even the best way to differentiate actions any longer. And in lots of instances, I needed to graft parts
collectively to type new actions to fulfill the preventing wants of my college students.
Itʼs best for me to confer with it as “our gymnastics” however because it seems too ambiguous a title, I adopted tactical gymnastics in honor of the martial heritage of my coaches. For me, thereʼs solely incremental development, biomechanical effectivity and particular preparedness: child steps, circulate and objective. These three concentrations united all 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. 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.
• You will recover much more rapidly from sudden changes in movement, accidents, collisions, destabilizations, and forced translations.
• You will be smoother in everything that you do, all your exercise, recreation and even job-related activities will be done with greater suppleness and grace.
• You will feel much more energy throughout your body, and throughout your day, and that will have a dramatic impact upon your mood, attitude and perspective.
• You will reduce and eliminate acute and chronic pains that may be riddling you, leading to improved quality of life.
• You will prevent injuries from happening, and lessen those severe injuries which may occur, as your connect tissue strength, joints, and response time improves.
• You will be able to navigate obstacles and challenges with ease and imagination as your body learns to adapt to new physical skills at an accelerated rate.
• You will become keenly sensitive to movement, position and force / tension, as your bodily awareness improves.
• Of course, this will improve your strength, cardio, flexibility, agility, endurance, stamina, et cetera…. No doubt. But many things will do that. Very few disciplines also offer the above.
If youʼre one of the few who see a martial artist, gymnast, boxer or wrestler and think, “Iʼd really love to be able to move with that kind of silent power,” then TACGYM is probably for you. There will be, of course, the unstated premise: “if I was pain-free, if I didnʼt have the injuries preventing me, if I had the mobility and range of motion to do so…”
This premise distinguishes TACGYM. Many roads will get you to graceful power. Only a few paths will get you there uninjured. This isnʼt a sink or swim method, like many of the units Iʼve trained with use. My approach focuses on the 85% of you who, like me, cannot succeed in spite of improper coaching. Because of my childhood disabilities, I still need to exploit every training technology useful in order to keep my teams ahead of the bad guys who are willing to throw 20-something cannon fodder into the meat-grinder.
My men and women are invaluable, the most precious virtues of our society, so I cannot fail as a coach. I must not. Thatʼs why I continue to refine, and rework, and research, and test it all out on myself first, before sharing only what repeatable, consistently, sustainably works for everyone, not just the meager 15% who could do well in spite of poor coaching.
If youʼre looking to burn fat or bulk up, sure, youʼll build muscle and lose body fat practicing tactical gymnastics, but these are not their primary goals; much like the warrior physique is merely a by-product, not the intent, of fighting efficacy. The appearance is not the destination; just a part of the journey.
However, there are ineffable qualities, elusive virtues, which tactical gymnastics – like its father, martial arts – concentrate upon. Power and the ability to express it are not mutually compatible. You can appear to have a massive, powerful frame. You can look as if you could withstand any crisis. But without the malleable form, you will lack the ability to express that power. You will remain encased in a prison of muscle. Iʼve alluded to the difference between “show” muscle and “go” muscle.
This distinction works well. Too often, Iʼve had to work with very enthusiastic young athletes, who because of their prior training, were completely incapable of translating power outside of the short-range, machine-dictated exercises they had been advised to perform. If you want to look like a statue, thatʼs fine; but take care that you donʼt become one.
Honestly, I probably cannot help you if you have not, somehow of your own accord, developed the fire to desire moving with power, rather than merely appearing powerful.
Power means nothing without the ability to navigate unknown and surprise obstacles and resistance with ease and imagination. And even if you or your coaches have ignited your warrior spirit with the will to regain your heritage as the most potent creature God has ever graced the world with, you may not have the patience to develop at the appropriate rate.
Tactical gymnastics are like “flow yoga with a purpose.” They help you develop movement efficacy to navigate on, around, over or through obstacles.
They have specific purpose. If you consider the 4 Day Wave in TACFIT, you can insert your tactical gymnastics into the low or moderate intensity sessions. It is not possible to perform them with no intensity, like your mobility days; and not advisable to perform them at high intensity due to their complex nature, even if you scale down the complexity to simple movements.

You should leave your tactical gymnastics practice smiling, sweaty and sore: a good, deep sweat which allows you to loosen the muscles, lubricate the joints, work out the knots, focus your mind, and decompress your emotions. Most of the martial arts approaches I studied were “sink or swim.”
For instance, since my years in Russia often involved their special operations unit trainers and personnel, the training was very much a culling of the herd, where whoever could survive the many hours of grueling repetition across unfavorable terrain and within extreme conditions passed the examinations.
I took my background and experience in motor development to address the 85% who couldnʼt saunter into one of these month long marathons of complexity and survive. What you find here, I carefully vetted over many years of trial and error, research and
discovery, concocting the most gradual high-yield, low-risk protocols for becoming powerfully graceful.
Unlike the other high intensity workouts in the TACFIT fleet, TACGYM involves a lowmoderate intensity performance and as a result, doesnʼt necessarily demand the specifically-tailored warm-up and cooldown programming associated with programs
such as Commando, Warrior, Kettlebell Spetsnaz, Rope and Mass Assault. However, performing full warm-up programs like the Caduceus Healing Staff and Body Rolling and full cooldown programs like Archimedes accelerate your results in TACGYM.
We cannot make the progress shorter, but we can avoid making it longer, with significantly more severe consequences. I cannot help you shorten the journey. No one can. But I can help you not lengthen the journey. I can help you lessen the severity of the consequences through program compliance.
I call to the mature warrior within you, to awaken that ethos – millennia old – and bring that elder voice to your training practice.
I look forward to reading about your incredible journey. Itʼs an honor to have you here, and I look forward to you joining our team. Come on inside, brothers and sisters. Letʼs get started!

“I met Coach Sonnon six years ago when he proposed a tactical fitness competition between local police and fire fighters. He has taken our fire department under his wing since then, and the results have been amazing. The tactical movements that he has taught us are unlike anything I had ever done before. I am almost forty years old and I am leaner, better onditioned, and more athletic than I’ve ever been in my life. The other fire fighters that have embraced the TACFIT programs have had similar results. The multi-planar movements translate directly to the dynamic work fire fighters perform. I have recently been following the training protocol for Scott’s tactical gymnastics program. Movements that looked impossible for me are already feeling more fluid. Fire fighters often work low to the floor in high heat conditions. The ground-based movements featured in this program have enhanced my ability to move low to the floor. Coach Sonnon is able to break down each exercise into simple movements with increasing levels of sophistication. This helps tremendously with the learning process and provides clear direction for progression. I highly recommend Coach Sonnon’s TACFIT programs for any individual or agency interested in improving tactical fitness and job performance”.
