Dynamic Relaxation (i.e., the ability to focus and concentrate while in motion)
Sonnon has directly trained professional sports teams as well as individual athletes and professional trainers, developing
individual and sport-specific programs dramatically increasing performance and reducing or eliminating injuries.
Fitness pundits such as Marty Gallaher, World Champion Powerlifter and author of the Washington Post's Strength &
Fitness column have endorsed Scott's training as: "Sonnons approach doesnt come in a container and could be called a
thinking mans approach to fitness. His system questions long-held basic assumptions about what fitness is, what the
goals should be, and offers a unique and iconoclastic methodology as the vehicle to the destination. Sonnon is one of a
new breed of thirty-something truth tellers and has staked out an esoteric fitness approach. His no-compromise message
is spreading as followers report gains galore. When discussion turns to the new breed of fitness innovators, Sonnons
name is continually brought up. Real experts recognize real talent."

traditional club swinging: the oldest method of strength and conditioning known to humanity, and a former
Olympic Sport. Club swinging existed for centuries in ancient Persia, India and Burma. CST lifted the
archaic techniques of "fancy" traditional club swinging, combined it with an incrementally progressive
system of joint mobility, and systematized it through modern sport science. Clubbell Training is simply
the most sophisticated, fun and creative vehicle for strength and conditioning ever conceived. Though
they can be practiced independently, in reality these 3 Wings of CST are a seamlessly integrated whole a
complete stand-alone health system.
HEALTH FIRST
CST values a health first approach as we believe that without health, your fitness is like firing a canon
from a canoe. Fitness builds out of, from and back towards health.
As a result, the first step you take on CST we call tabula rasa or cleaning the slate. You dont want to
build a house on a swamp, and you dont want to exercise on top of residual tension, dense myofascial
tissue, fear-reactive patterns, or where the body has not yet remembered its full range of motion.
CST focuses on an intuitive rather than a conceptual method. Its designed specifically to return our
attention to the internal experience of physical exercise so that we reclaim autonomy over our vibrant,
abundant energy. As part of this intuition, your CST practice will progress under the systematic, scientific
process of how we develop neurologically: from head downward and spine outwards (known as the
cephalocaudal-proximodistal trend).
CST concentrates on incremental baby steps and honors the balancing ratio of stress to rest and
recovery. Stress elicits an adaptation, but growth and development happen during rest and recovery.
Progression relates directly to increasing health first based upon strengthening ones intuitive connection
to the experience.
CST reveals that fun and creativity involve more than gratification. Performing a chain of tiny components
strung together through your own imagination produces a scientific, synergistic training effect producing
greater results in combination than if the individual components were performed independently for the
same exact repetitions.
CST emphasizes efficiency: in developing physical competency and coordination as a human being, as
you, rather than just a collection of random exercises. Teaching you coordination, CST helps you use less
total work to accomplish more useful work in every activity: recreational or vocational.
CST honors the entire organism through integration of breath, movement and structure the holy trinity
of physical excellence. As such in stands in direct opposite to the two dimensional, linear fitness
convention. CST uses three-dimensional, multi-planar mobility to realign structural efficiency by allowing
breath to lead the way.
CST can become much more than an exercise past time, though you will receive 100% of the health
benefits, if you merely deepen your personal practice daily. It (re)unifies Body the movement, Mind
the structure, and Spirit the breath, though a unique, proprietary formula: the Training Hierarchy
Pyramid (THP).
as their hammer and chisel, going to work on their personal slab of marble, removing all which is not their
internally pristine, fluidly adaptable statue of daily perfection.
swept again. Rhythmic Gymnastics diminished from the Olympic scene until 1988 when it rose again.
Club Swinging is still an Olympic Sport today!
Coach Scott Sonnon created a training methodology called Circular Strength Training using multiplanar, multiple-joint movements. He intended to augment agility, coordination, extreme range strength,
and dynamic flexibility. His exercises have tremendous carry over value to all sports, for athletes of all
ages (male or female).
With his unique training, Coach Sonnon crafted an apparatus for Specific Physical Preparedness, which
Girevik Magazine named "the Holy Grail of athletic preparation." Clubbells are simple enough for
novices though challenging enough for elite. After many years and several generations of research &
development, Coach Sonnon finalized a design. In 2002, he launched the flagship of his Circular Strength
revolution
the original patent pending CLUBBELL .
Routines to be constructed in the ideal way to improve Specific Physical Preparedness for any particular
sport.
Extreme Range Strength: In order to prevent injury and perform at extreme ranges of motion, athletes
need to train slightly outside the range and depth of "expected" movements. Circular Strength Training
conditions athletes slightly outside the range and depth of the movements of their sport so when (not if)
movements deviate from the expected a safety valve prevents injury and restores normal work capacity
without performance interference (Yessis). The competitive athlete needs to have these motor
recruitment patterns in place to facilitate shoulder synergy for both performance and injury prevention.
Shoulder synergy: The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body, but unfortunately, great
mobility comes at the expense of stability. It is a complex arrangement of structures working together to
provide the movement necessary for almost all athletic activities. Bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles
produce shoulder movement and keep the joint in place while it moves through extreme ranges of motion.
Sports, especially contact, throwing and racquet/stick sports, place great demands upon the shoulder, and
injury can occur when athletes exceed or overload these movement limits. High-energy activities such as
found in throwing and overhead sports often result in rotator cuff tears.
Conservative Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation: Forceful, repetitive, or sustained static activities
occurring over time with insufficient recovery periods may cause or aggravate Cumulative Trauma
Disorders, affecting soft tissue of both musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems. Any sport or job
using the arms can be associated with Cumulative Trauma Disorders. The most commonly described and
diagnosed disorders are Rotator Cuff Impingement, Tennis Elbow, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Circular
Strength Training may be a conservative injury prevention method for those at risk as well as an
important rehabilitative tool to those suffering such common sport-related injuries.
Swinging Principle which has been used for centuries and has been lost to modern training reborn through
Clubbells, the ONLY equipment of its kind {a patent-pending} breakthrough in combat sport specific
training.
Micro-Loading Adjustable Grip: Clubbells are a means of Incremental Resistance Progression. The
special design of the handle allows minor increases in weight, never overloading your muscles but always
challenging them. Micro-Loading Adjustable Grip is a special design function that uniquely promotes
constant progress and strength gains. No other piece of equipment has this versatility!
Clubbells are made from steel, with a Black Urethane Rubber-coating cast around the weight mass
and the portion of the handle to protect floor surfaces.
TESTIMONIALS
"...increase your power, agility, flexibility and endurance using Circular Strength Training... to
become a better athlete and martial artist." - Black Belt Magazine DEC 02 Issue
"I also have 2 of Coach Sonnon's 15 pound Clubbells. They are, without question, some of the best
money on fitness equipment I have ever spent. How serious am I that I think Clubbells are TRUE
strength tools that aren't replicated anywhere? I'm awaiting the arrival of a set of 10 and 5 pounders
next week so I can start using them during training sessions with clients" - Wayne Fisher, AKA
"Scrapper" US Navy Diver, NHB/MMA Champion (Superbrawl 13) www.trainforstrength.com
"Coach Sonnon, since receiving the clubbells we have been experimenting with them on ourselves as a
coaching staff as well as with our athletes. Basically, we are helping our athletes develop functional
strength. The clubbells will develop those pockets of weaknesses that the other three miss. The clubbells
are great for sports such as wrestling, tennis, baseball, softball, golf and soccer. And we are sure
all other sports will be able to use the "Circular Strength" developed by the clubbells. The parts of body
we experience being strengthened are: hands, wrists, forearms, upperarm, shoulders, rotator cuffs,
upper back, upper chest and especially the core of the body. Coach, you have a great product in the
clubbells. Also, we are very impressed with the video. It is well made and very informative. Having you
demonstrate and explain the fine points of each exercise is excellent." - Coach Ethan Reeve, Head
Strength & Conditioning Coach Wake Forest University
"Clubbells are excellent for combat athletes to develop and improve specific strength & endurance." Coach Stephen Maxwell, World BJJ Champion & World SOMBO Champion www.maxercise.com
"The Circular Training with the Clubbells covers a huge gap in this aspect of physical preparedness
created by complex fitness machinery isolating the grip strength from the rest of the body in favor of
quickly noticeable 'visual' results." - Oleg Yakimovich, Russian Martial Art R.O.S.S. Instructor
"I've since been experimenting with them for about a month and a half and have noticed viable nonrelated performance enhancement within my job activities as a SRT Police Officer. I feel the leverage
based grip enhancement has allowed me to maintain both a firmer, yet more relaxed grip in my firearms
training, as my personal clubbell training tends to move in the same direction as felt recoil, with the end
result being more accurate fire. Furthermore, after being on an operation three nights ago, I did not feel
the fatigue normally associated with posting on a door with a long arm in the ready position for over and
hour, due to some of the static hold training that I've been trying. Will clubbells make me bigger? I don't
know or care. I made the conscious decision to focus on practical performance goals rather than aesthetic
appearance when I realized that being bigger simply meant more target area for my adversary..." Devon Reynolds, SWAT Tactical Officer www.legionconsulting.com
"I'm very impressed by the quality, weight and design of the Clubbell. I can't wait to get the video
to learn what exercises to do with it." - Harry Fuller, U.S. Secret Service, National Fitness Coordinator
"Well made and useful. It would be useful to have various sizes. I also think that two would be better
than one." - SFC Matt Larsen, NCOIC of US ARMY Combatives
" I am seeing my Clubbell opening up a new corridor of fitness. It is very different from any type of
exercise I have done before. The heavy circular motion stress the shoulders in a positive way. Once I get
my wrists stronger this thing will fill in gaps the kettlebells miss. It's nature is different from anything else
I have worked with." - Chuck Fair, Russian Kettlebell Challenge Instructor www.kettlebell.net
"If you practice any martial art or racquet sport, this is for you. Biomechanically, kettlebells were the first
form of weight training apparatus that didn't bind me up and make my muscles so tight my performance
was actually degraded. Clubbells, on the other hand, while lighter, seem to be half-way between KB's and
actual MA applications, a "missing link" if you will. I now understand EXACTLY why heavy club swinging
was a core exercise for warriors around the world. Swinging a horizontal figure-eight with this thing
in a sort of "Russian full contact twist" manner created a sensation of elastic muscularity, a kind of
stretching a rubber-band feeling that IMMEDIATELY translated into a jump in martial arts performance-and after only two sessions! The video is clear, clean, packed with information, and Sonnon's
performance is the kind of stunning competence that immediately quells doubts: this man knows his
stuff. Period. The video is pure gold.." - Steve Barnes, Sci-Fi Author & former Kung-fu Columnist for
Black Belt Magazine
psychological attributes critical to your sport) on the top. He structured this as a pyramid because each
level requires more substantial foundation than the level above, in order for the higher levels to concretely
hold. These are not clean distinctions, but involve a very gradual transition from one to the next.
General Physical Preparedness: The primary goal of GPP irrespective of activity or sport is enhanced
working capacity. If work capacity increases, combat athletes will adapt more readily to the sustained
increases in mental and physical demands. GPP holds priority as the BASE of all solid programming
because without this level of readiness the mind and body cannot effectively absorb specificity. Coach
Sonnons theory relates to Maslow's Pyramid in that an athlete cannot effectively address higher levels of
training without the lower level fulfillment. One can practice MES, but without GPP, it's a house on
quicksand.
Specific Physical Preparedness: Next up on the pyramid is SPP. This training converts the unrefined,
nonspecific GPP gains made into sport specific attributes. SPP builds upon the GPP foundation by
furthering development within the exact physiological profile of your sport. SPP refers to the principle of
specificity, or transference, which states that strength and conditioning (training) must approximate as
closely as possible your sports conditions and variables in order to maximize learning and training effects;
in other words, how much your training effect transfers to the performance in your specific sport. You
adapt specifically to stresses placed upon you; you improve according to the exact type of training you do.
Therefore, your training needs to be as specific as possible.
Unfortunately, many athletes utilize the same training methods regardless of the physiological profile of
their activity. Training must stimulate but not simulate the biomechanics, neuromuscular patterns and
energy system requirements of your sports skills. Specific Physical Preparedness requires your training
play a physiological role in accessing the following characteristics (SPP extends beyond these, but the
following most obviously exemplify Circular Strength Training):
Range and Depth: It is difficult to mimic the technical skill of a given sport in training. Therefore one
must try to approximate the dynamic structure of the range and depth of your sports skills. On the other
hand care must be taken to avoid exercising in such a way that the main motion pattern (the sport skill) is
substantially altered. An example would be a sprinter running while wearing a weighted vest. The
additional weight makes the runner have to fight gravity to a greater extent, creating more of an upward
push, than a forward thrust. A fighter doing punches and kicks with elastic bands attached to the wrists
and ankles is also risks compromising technique by altering the natural rate of force development.
Specificity vs. Simulation: Specificity should not be confused with Simulation training. Specificity refers
to an expression of your skills physiological profile a stimulation of the biomechanics, neuromuscular
patterns and energy system requirements of your sports skills. Simulation attempts to use resistance to
mimic the exact movements of the skill. Although Simulation works during certain aspects of training, if
overused it may cause neuromuscular confusion due to differences such as center of gravity, rotation and
inertia. Specific Physical Preparedness does not mean merely grabbing a clubbell and swinging it like a
baseball bat for increased batting power. SPP regards a systematic program rendering the skills
expression. Follow the program design guidelines and use the program samples as a template for crafting
SPP through Circular Strength Training.

I just received my Mini-ClubbellsTM. Just wanted to send in a quick comment on how well designed they are. They
really stick to the hand. Almost safe enough for inside the house workouts. The pictures don't do them justice. Great
job and congratulations on your recent victory. - Jim Tirey
As advertised it is a comprehensive and incremental program that unifies:
Warrior Wellness/Freedom by Degree
Vibration Training
elements of Prasara Body-Flow
elements of Prime Your Bioenergy
There is also an in-depth and insightful introduction to the purpose and principles for this training and subsequently
RMAX as a whole.
The Xtension program which I have watched but not played with yet seems like a good primer for Clubbell training
as well as strongly making the connection between joint mobility and training under load.
All in all this is an amazing product, and I think of great value to any instructor. Even if your personal mobility
practice is beyond the earlier levels this gives a more comprehensive way to introduce the system to someone who is
new to it. Slade Billew, CST Coach
I just finished watching Intu-Flow beginner level and wow! I was worried that the Warrior Wellness I have grown
to love was being cast aside but now I see it is simply being completed. The level of refinement is beyond ANYTHING I
have seen anywhere. I dont think there has been a revolution this big in martial arts or health since boddhidarma
came to China! I am a little sad to see the hip circles didnt make the cut but there certainly isnt anything lacking in
this program. I really like the mini-bells too. They arent anything a knuckle dragger would be embarrassed to poses
and they are friendly looking enough to sit comfortably on a shelf next to all the frilly useless stuff found in most
fitness stores without frightening away the uninitiated. I'm starting tomorrow morning and I cant wait! - Brian Bales
Received my Intuit Flow Mini-ClubbellsTM package on Saturday. The Mini-ClubbellsTM are great. They beg to be picked
up and swung. I think this will be a really big seller. - Roland Beauregard
I think this is an excellent product. At the price it was also a steal. Everything about the product was classy and
professional. I can see Scott selling these on QVC real soon. Thanks to Scott and RMAX for another winner! - Shane
Ok, I got this cool package in the mail from Rmax today and here are my humble opinions and observation after my
first viewing of the Intu-Flow(TM) DVDs.
*It is a nice blend of Warrior Wellness with elements of Body-Flow, Prime Your Bioenergy, etc. blended in. The
keywords are blended in to be attainable by all who incrementally apply themselves to the material.
*Another thing I really liked about these dvds are that they are very detail oriented to the point that the camera shots
show all the little details of making things work as a whole. You really see the flow of the joints transitioning from
what Coach says to what is being demonstrated.
*I noticed some concern from members of the tribe about Intu-Flow(TM) being a replacement to other RMAX
products. To that I would like to comment that YES, and NO. Yes, the blend of material is really very cool and a new
approach to the way things have been done. No, you shouldn't think other Rmax material is obsolete. In fact, I would
go so far as to say that it will help you transition better to other products like Prime your Bioenergy Body-Flow, etc.
After playing with the Beginner iIntu-Flow(TM) and watching the other levels I really believe I am going to grasp
"Prime Your Bioenergy" as a whole as result of Intuiflow practice. PYB has been a bit of a challenge for me.
* MINI CLUBBELLLS KICK ASS, BABY! The extension DVD looks like great fun. My only gripe today is that I wish these
darn Mini-ClubbellsTM were around last winter when I was freezing my ass off learning the basics of Clubbells
outdoors. Seriously, these Mini-Clubbells TM are ideal for indoor Clubbell learning. I tried them out down in my rec
room and they worked out great. Haha I am still going to have to practice with my regular Clubbells outdoors
though. OHio is cold baby! I bought a heater for my garage though. Regular Clubbells are just too long for
practicing inside most homes.
Last but not least as I watched these videos I kept having flashbacks of my youth practicing Tae Kwon do and the
instructors forcing you to stretch further causing unnecessary pain and sometimes damage to the athlete. I also
thought about kids who were less talented athletically and who had to endure the emotional pain of being picked last
in gym class. How barbaric these ways are compared to the Rmax ways! I can proudly say Intu-flow is progressive
program for people of all walks of life. Coach Sonnon layed out 10 solid principles for anyone to succeed by! Coach
Sonnon and crew great product. Though I love Warrior Wellness and it has been good to me I really dig this Intuflow product! - Steve Lardieri
Intu-Flow is the best bargain that RMAX has ever offered. A brilliant evolution of the material in the most user
friendly presentation so far. ... something that really stood out for me is the way that the movement principles and
ranges of motion studied in the joint mobility program directly and explicitly prime the practitioner for putting those
movements under weight. Having coached Clubbells at CST IC and privately, I expect that the nuances and principles
will be grasped and assimilated much easier if the athlete first works with Intu-Flow. It's such a well-designed,
explicit transition. A great example of this is the first pelvis exercise in the Beginner progression. Mastering the hip
fold and extension, and the hip root, in the manner presented will set up the power source of future Clubbell work.
Brilliantly designed! - Ryan Murdoc,k RMAX Head Coach
I just received my Intu-Flow package today... the Intu-Flow package is truly a bargain. I have had Warrior
Wellness for so time now, and I dont what to keep saying the same thing here, but you can not help it, this new
package is so much better in its presentation, and value. From the way coach explains the sequence of movements,
to the background scenary, the added music, of Course the intergration of the Mini's, it is truely a wonder for its price.
For those who have Warrior Wellness understand, you can really see Rmax growth and direction. I have wanted to
get started with CST so bad and this has gotten me of to a great start. I was having thoughts about purchasing the
15lb Clubbells, cause I like most, you hear the weight and think to yourself oh that's nothing. Trust folks not just my
words but also the words of the other members hear in the tribe, that when it comes to circular strength thats a lot of
weight to move, cast, swipe, etc. I could not believe how heavy these 5lb clubs are. The pictures really dont convey
how wonderful they are, then again it is only a picture, but the mini is honestly enough weight to challenge you like
Connie said 5lb dumbbells are no match and no way to judge the Mini-Clubbells TM. For those who do not have it
consider getting it and for those who have it enjoy. - Thomas Thornton
I have recieved Intu-Flow recently and what a great product. I've been doing Warrior Wellness for awhile now so
the transition Intu-Flow was fairly easy. It has also helped in alot of self discovery with my movement and Body
Flow. I would suggest this product for anyone who wants to start their CST training, or just for your personal health.
- Joe Goss
I just received Intu-Flow and it is great, you won't be disappointed! - Jarlo Ilano, CST Coach
Ive been playing with RMAX FlowFitness Health Systems for a number of years, starting with GTB, Zdorovye
Series, Warrior Wellness, Maximology, Freedom by Degree and various movement exercises in FlowFighting
Martial videos like Prime Your Bioenergy. I purchased the new Intu-Flow as gifts, including one for my wife. Of
course she gets it for Christmas, and I get to test-drive it now!
Intu-Flow is the best do-it-at-home RMAX product to date. If you never use another RMAX product, Intu-Flow can
be your lifetime fitness/health program. Most users should be able to use the beginner program as presented. There
have been some questions on this forum about the appropriateness of some of the exercises for beginners. This is
where the cadre of knowledgeable RMAX instructors comes into play. My sister and mother (50 and 79 years of age)
will use one of my gift sets, and I have been experimenting with modifications of some exercises i.e. Quad Hops and
Cradles. Connie is one instructor who has done an outstanding job of presenting Warrior Wellness movements for
the newbie. And I sure she will continue to be a great resource.
I have previewed all the Intu-Flow and Xtension programs. I am now performing first level Intu-Flow and adding
an Xtension exercise every other session (not recommended if you have no prior Clubbell experience). I am
impressed by the exercise selection/programming and their synergistic effects/results.
Quote:
It's gained so much more refinement, sophistication and simplicity since the old Warrior Wellness days.
Moreover, I've added new material to this program never before seen! Intu-Flow is much more and far
beyond Warrior Wellness, but it's also much simpler, deeper and easier to follow. (IntuFlow, Xtension and
the Mini-Clubbell by Scott Sonnon)
How true!
Not only is the content excellent, but so is the production quality. I liked the Xtension chart and would like to have a
similar Intu-Flow Chart especially for the Beginner Level. For now, I have made an exercise flow sheet to use as a
reference guide. Some participants will want to use their new Mini-ClubbellsTM ASAP. I will recommend at least one
Clubbell exercise i.e. beginner level swings. I suppose this is another example of the benefit for hands-oninstruction.
I have enjoyed the ride and have great fun playing. Watching the development of RMAX over years has been
fascinating. Scott, you have done good. - Paul Karpick
I purchased this program for my housemate for Christmas. She has been wanting to lose weight and reduce the joint
pain in her knees, back and shoulders; she has also wanted to participate in a low impact, non-threatening exercise
program. When I saw Intu-Flow offered, I jumped on it. It sounded perfect for her goals. She opened the box
yesterday and I was wishing it was mine! We watched the Flow DVDs - clearly demonstrated, well explained, and
presented in a relaxed, friendly manner. Didn't have time to view Extension, but those mini Clubbells are sweet. My
housemate has always been intimidated by my Clubbells, but she liked the blue clubs. (She did insist they weighed
more than five pounds!). She was impressed by many of the movements and Coach Sonnon's explanations - many of
them relate directly to what the most balanced horseback riders do to allow themselves to ride pain-free and to get
out of the horse's way to allow natural movement under saddle. As her passion is horses and riding, this really
grabbed her attention. Intu-Flow is an excellent product with application for folks serious about balanced riding as
well as general health and fitness. - Kelly Moore

AGELESS MOBILITY
Pain-Free Wellness for Longevity
Ageless Mobility is an easy-to-learn, follow-along, low-impact, instantly-effective movement program
involving a scientific blend of dynamic mobility combined with simple flowing yoga. Ageless Mobility
gives you pain-free quality of life, and the ability to move gracefully, effortlessly and play without the
dreaded "day after pain." Ageless Mobility is a program from the Circular Strength Training System, a
scientific 3 winged system of prehab now so you dont have to rehab later.
This program is designed in a genetically-programmed sequence of lubricating each joint, one after
another, until the entire body becomes fully flushed with nutrition. Most people suffer through their lives
literally starved for this critical movement! Once each joint is well oiled and ready to move, then soft,
flowing yoga movements, easily learned, release the body of chains of tension. This specific process helps
prevent daily aches and pains while helping abate the onset of shoulder bursitis, elbow tendonitis, carpal
tunnel syndrome, neck and lower back disc herniation, hip, knee and ankle strain. The simple breathing
exercises manage stress at a biochemical level while increasing core strength and helping gastrointestinal
health.
It can be performed once or twice a week for 45 minutes and still receive 100% of the medical benefits of
the exercise. In the time that most people channel surf throughout the day, any Boomer, anyone of any
age for that matter, can again have that energetic zeal of pain-free mobility wellness!
What is the difference between the Intu-Flow and Ageless Mobility Programs?
Coach Sonnon:
Ageless Mobility is a "biggest bang for your buck" follow-along program for increasing the pain-free
health of your most important problem areas: neck, shoulders, mid and lower back, hips and pelvis. It has
a carefully integrated program of breathing which will help you go deeper into those problem areas. The
program is meant to be done once or twice a week for 100% benefit.
Intu-Flow is a comprehensive, if not exhaustive approach to covering every joint in the body, as well as
an ever deepening sophistication into each of those joints and them as a synergistic whole. If you have
Intu-Flow, you already have access to "Ageless Mobility." However, some people need focus on how to
fit it in under one hour, some people don't want to think about sophisticating, and some people need very
specific verbal directions on how to breath. I developed Intu-Flow for those who wanted to explore on
their own and Ageless Mobility for those who prefer the classroom follow-along format. It's about
preference, really. There is overlap as in all RMAX materials. There are unique portions in each as well. But
really it's about preference.

.. the benefits I gained from the Ageless Mobility program. My body has never felt so alive, free, fluid, and
supple. And it really does happen instantly and effectively. I felt a difference immediately after my Ageless Mobility
practice
What I love about Coach Sonnon's presentation is that he guides you every single step of the way. Coach walks you
through proper form with instruction on performance goals for breathing, movement, structure, as well as effort and
discomfort for the full 80 minute program. I find it helpful to hear instruction on how the movement or pose will make
my body feel. This reassures me that whatever discomfort or quakes I'm feeling is part of the practice and that I'm
performing the movement correctly
I got to say, this is another winner from the Coach! - Jeffrey Samson
Just got Intu-Flow and Ageless Mobility; just wanted to say that they are the stuff. The way I felt after doing
Ageless Mobility was unbelievable. I felt complete refreshed. - David L Turner
When I got the DVD I didn't touch it for a couple of weeks.
I finally tried it last week, and wow! I am bubbling with metaphors: Scott Sonnon is truly to fitness what Eric Clapton
is to a guitar
I only did the first few exercises, but let me tell you, it's somehow like yoga but standing still, like a self-administered
massage, but way more fun.
Can't really describe it, but this fella Scott is indeed unique in the way he manages to make this whole field progress
in a smooth, simple, yet...sophisticated way... - Peter Nguyen
I bought this as a present for my Mom but she will have to wait until I am done with it LOL. The neck and thorax are
stretches amazing for me...LOVE it. The shoulder rolls are great aswell as the elbow rotations while holding a
5er.These will make excellent additions to my Intu-Flow routine. - Christopher Fowler
I've had two session of Ageless Mobility so far and I keep on being amazed with it. What a perfect program you've
constructed coach. I've got at least 4-5 people I want to get a copy of this for. I absolutely am sold on this program
and I am finding it to be the ultimate in active recovery for me
All I can say is wow! I found cracks and releases I did not know I had. I think this may just be the crowning
achievement of Coach Sonnons career(at least so far). I dont care who you are; this program will be of use to you.
I am already feeling its benefits. Get Ageless Mobility! This is the new standard for movement health or (maybe
especially) active recovery. - Brian Bales
I have noticed immediate improvements after only going through this DVD once Miykael
As someone new to and strongly needing mobility training I have to say that for me this is so much more effective
for me.
The prompting into the nuances of the movements by Coach Sonnon is Extraordinary!
The sequencing of 'stretching'to dynamic mobilization to yoga-type mat movements with integrated breathing cues
has had a profound impact compared to the others... Kudo's Coach! - Tim Morrison
Even some of us who've been practicing Circular Strength Training for awhile noticed changes after the first time
through Ageless Mobility. To paraphrase what someone said at [seminar], "The first time I did it, I noticed 'holes in
my program'." That was my experience too - any area you haven't been reaching will start talkin' to you! Jeanne
Gostnell, CST Instructor
When Coach Sonnon ran us through Ageless Mobility at [seminar], it really kicked my butt in an unexpected way. I
was totally beat the next day because my body experienced periods of opening up that were completely amazing. I
train a lot and for something to impact me that much, it has to be something powerful. - Geoff Dixon Certified CST

PRASARA BODY-FLOW
PRASARA
Flow without Thought
Prasara is an ancient Sanskrit term meaning "flow without thought." Man's natural state of peak
performance is one of relaxation and spontaneity beyond the influence of ego and fear-reactivity.
Internationally renowned champion, coach and fitness expert Scott Sonnon presents a unique approach
for realizing your creative expression of self. Described by some as "what yoga is supposed to be", this
program moves beyond set patterns and static poses to transform the practitioner into a physical artist
recreating one's self with each movement.
At times resembling break dancing, yoga, martial arts, gymnastics or other familiar disciplines, Prasara:
Flow Without Thought is the next evolutionary step in the painstaking development of biomechanical
exercise and Circular Strength Training for Three-Dimensional Physical Preparedness. A giant step
forward in physical culture, this 2-DVD set includes instruction in various basic movements with
progressions to dynamic flowing kinetic chains.
Flock of Pigeons: hip opener, knee and ankle strengthener
Diving Dolphin: hams and lumbar release, shoulder and neck opener
Spider Monkey: chest, shoulders, arms and upper back strengthener
Forest: leg, glut and core strengthener
Tumbleweed: hip flexor and psoas synergizer, neck relaxer and strengthener
Technical component breakdown of each flow chain
Breath Mastery Scale overview
Two Color Charts for easy reference
Flow lies beneath the rusty armor of fear, anxiety and trauma which our ego carries around like so many
luggages. Prasara is a physical practice of releasing fear, anxiety and trauma, a practice which releases
one's natural state of Grace, one's natural Flow. It is a challenging inner journey, calling forth courage,
discipline, and faith in our intrinsic Divinity, the still, small voice within that guides us to transformation
and a life of service to all beings.
Unlock your innate Flow and find physical, mental and spiritual expression in motion! Explore and
integrate your breath, structure and movement to release tension, strengthen the body and cultivate
personal mastery. Prasara: Flow Without Thought is suitable for all levels from beginner to advanced,
but prior experience with Body-Flow and/or yoga is recommended.

Blows my brain away!!!!! Just got Prasara....awesome to the max! Customer/student for life here. - Charlie
McCarthy
The material on the DVD's is excellent. Both production and content. Tom Hilliard
"While at first glance Prasara appears to be a movement routine presumably designed to increase range of motion
and core strength, the rewards of the program do indeed meet those goals, and go far beyond them. The heart of the
matter is an extremely sophisticated approach to breathing, with potential results that enhance virtually aspects of
human life." Kirik Jenness, Owner MMA.tv, NAGA Commissioner, Author of Fighter's Notebook and Fit to Fight
Mastery is no longer a mere promise, or distant dream of grace and power.
This revolutionary new movement incorporates both traditional yoga postures and Vinyasa (meaning "to place in a
special way" and refers to consciously synchronizing breath with movement and structure.) Coach Sonnon presents a
phenomenal key to body, mind, and spirit: the Breath Mastery Scale. Both experienced students and newcomers
will learn to control breath and motion with exquisite precision, opening the door to improvement in athletic
performance, physical and mental health, and the progressive realization of our true spiritual state of being.
Prasara extends beyond conscious movement practice, for it intends to create "Flow without Thought." Once the
student reclaims flow within the Prasara chains, he or she becomes an intuitive, improvisational physical artist.
These chains can be performed for health, fitness, the sheer bliss of creative physical practice or for exploring,
targeting and releasing ongoing, daily residual fear, trauma and anxiety. Prasara opens the door to yoga for the
athlete, athleticism for the yogi, and the full human birthright of exuberant aliveness to anyone willing to begin, and
sustain the journey. Prasara flows may be performed as singular practice sessions, or divided to concentrate upon
form in the static component poses, or asana. No matter the current skill or fitness level, there are steps small
enough to begin the path. If you can stand, sit, and walk, you can begin Prasara. Although complete, in itself,
Prasara is perfectly complemented by BKS Iyengar's classic yoga text Light on Yoga and Coach Sonnon's own work:
Body-Flow Biomechanical Exercise.
Yoga. Martial Arts. The ecstatic athlete within all of us, revealed at last. The promise, made flesh. Prasara. The
time has come." - Steven Barnes, National Best Selling Author and Screen Writer, Yogi and Martial Artist
"Prasara is the closest thing to what yoga is suppose to be. It is very personal. Its not a monkey see/monkey do
program, but a template of discovery and recovery of your own natural flow. There is a beginning but not an end.
Where traditional yoga aims to create space between two opposing points, Prasara allows you to explore and travel
through an number of points to find your natural grace. Its an excellent companion to traditional yogas development
of serene and static poise, for it uncovers your authentic grace, which can only be found through movement.
Prasara embraces the traditional of ancient yoga practices, yet it is not bound by them. It is a first class ticket to
freedom and creativity. Its simplicity welcomes all, yet its sophistication challenges the most seasoned yogi or athlete
to confront their egos and flow and grow beyond what they thought was imaginable.
My yoga students were excited by the challenge, but not overwhelmed. It caters to the student of Viniyoga, for the
practice of Prasara is your idiosyncratic path. There are shades of the powerful vinyasa of Ashtanga yoga and has
some of the dynamic qualities of Kundalini yoga. It is an original, yet it maintains the intrinsic qualities of the 8 limbs
of yoga. It is your path, your yoga!" - Robert Verdell, Yogi, Dancer, Elementary Education Teacher, Rape Prevention
Instructor
"Prasara is the most effective dynamic programs I have come upon. It is the missing link to dynamically loosen yet
strengthen the body as a functional unit. Relaxing yet challenging at the same time, the task of performing these
flow chains seamlessly and gracefully as they were meant tests both the mind and the body.
As an athlete, Prasara is an essential tool for maintaining my strength in flexibility giving me the edge and
preventing injury in the many positions I may find myself while grappling and throwing.
Prasara and Clubbell Training together form the ultimate tool for a healthy, top of the line warrior in this day where
martial artist are so diverse in their training that only the strong survive." - Reinaldo Novoa Jr., National Judo Team

BODY-FLOW
BIOMECHANICAL EXERCISE AND KINETIC CHAINS
Body-Flow heralds a new era in human performance enhancement. The emphasis on integrating breath
and physical structure with movement allows your body to gently release ingrained tension more
efficiently than traditional methods. As the fundamental movements recommended for initial exploration
are mastered, exploratory practice is recommended to encourage creative development and joy in
practice. Playfully combining basic movements into more complex and challenging combinations called
kinetic chains results in fluid, beautiful full-body grace and fitness.
Presented by Coach Scott Sonnon, international martial arts champion and world renowned fitness expert.

Body-Flow represents a major step forward in the evolution of progressive mobility training, and is suitable
for all levels of ability. Since development occurs at an individual pace, practitioners are invited to play
with their movement and enjoy each step along the way rather than rush ahead to ever more advanced
exercises. Beginners are cautioned not to attempt the kinetic chains demonstrated before mastering the
component exercises for each one. By listening to your body and developing relaxed competency, you will
reap the most benefit and joy from your practice.
This video course was filmed during one of the Coach Sonnons Circular Strength Training Instructors
Seminars.
In Body-Flow Biomechanical Exercises & Kinetic Chains, I teach you to De-SISS-ify your capabilities. I
may melt your brain and fry your Central Nervous System (metaphorically, not literally of course.) That's
my job - to clear away the cobwebs so that you can REMEMBER Mastery. Yes, you had it as a child, and
we're conditioned by fear, trauma and stress to stop moving and PLAYING like a child. Body-Flow may
give that back to you Coach Sonnon.

Later, after really getting into Body-Flow, I realized this is a great way to learn the mechanics of ground
engagement. In my exercise classes, I have taught older women and men how to engage the ground without injury
by using Scott's Body-Flow techniques. One 63 year old female student recently took a header off her mountain bike.
She relaxed and rolled right back to her feet completely unscathed. Prior to that, she said a fall like that might have
killed her. She originally came to me because she had tripped and fell several times and had injured herself. She had
a great fear of falling. Now she can embrace the ground without fear. - Steve Maxwell, World BJJ and SOMBO
Champion, Owner of Maxercise, the largest Brazilian Jiu-jitsu School on the East Coast
"Mr. Sonnon, I can't thank you enough for all the information you share. The Body-Flow book is very insightful into
creating positive changes and success in your life. The Body-Flow videos have been a real challenge in learning
movement and have transformed my grappling abilities tremendously. - Alan Condon
Thank you for everything, I am in love with Body-Flow!!!! - James Linn
"...parallels my view that health and fitness is a lifestyle and is a natural state. Far too many people only see the
physical aspect of training be it fitness or combatives. Scott Sonnon clearly understands that training isnt about just
the body it involves the whole person - body, mind, and dare I say it; spirit. Sonnon talks about getting out of the
way so that we can attain Body-Flow because Boy- Flow isnt something you achieve it is something that you let
return. I can see that there will be people out there that will not grasp this.
They are looking for training techniques and/or specific exercises to train physical/acrobatic ability. Biomechanical
Exercises are actually physical movements which when learned unlock psychological blockages which prevent a
person from reaching his natural grace. There is nothing "magical" about these exercises unless you count returning
to your natural state of graceful movement "magical". This took years of research for Coach Sonnon to develop a way
to express how he connected the dots from his exposure to these experts, travel and training in Russia and his own
experience from his Sambo career. ...truly remarkable and a must for those who wish to take a road less traveled to
optimal health and fitness." - James Smith, Animal Ability Training
BODY-FLOW
Freedom From Fear-Reactivity
book by Scott Sonnon
8.5" x 11"
Armed with the insights of Body-Flow, you can get it back. You can keep up with a 10 year old. You can
hop a fence or roll around on the ground for fun. You can bust a move on your friends and be free of joint
pain.
All it takes is one small choice, one tiny decision. All you need to do is be willing to try a few fun and easy
to understand moves that will wake your body up from years of slumber, grant it freedom from the
emotional armoring you have trapped your natural movement in, what Coach Sonnon calls FearReactivity.
Unless you live completely free of fear in all areas of your life, Body Flow can help you confront, deal with,
and make peace with this facet of being human. These are ways of moving that awaken your longforgotten abilities to: move like a cat, run like a gazelle, leap like a frog. This is not hype. This is fact.
These exercises work.
Body Flow is not about making you stronger, although it will. It is not about making you more agile,
although it will do that, too. It is about finding what you thought youd lost.
It is about re-educating your body, mind, and spirit to release whatever muscle tension, emotional
blockage, and troublesome habits that inhibit your movement and emotional expression in life; or, as
Coach Sonnon says, binds your flow.
Body-Flow shows you how to reverse-engineer the many mal-adaptations that hinder your movement. It
shows you how to move with sophistication and how to be at home in your own body. The cool thing is, it
shows you how to do this with your own Breath.
We all have to breathe, its something we do a lot of each day. So, like it or not, we are constantly training
our body and thoughts with the manner in which we breathe. Why not use this to get incrementally
healthier for the rest of your life? Why not use your many daily breaths as a vehicle for improving your
entire bodily presence in the world, to slow and keep at bay the inevitable decline with which Time stalks
us all? This is what Coach Sonnon calls Perpetual Exercise.
Get Coach Sonnons remarkable book. You will never ever regret it. Doing just a little bit, let alone all of
the fine Biomechanical Exercise routines it suggests, confers so much in so little time, it is astounding.
Body-Flow contains so many insights and practical guidelines; even the most cursory reading is going to
have a life changing impact.
Body-Flow will have its imitators, books and videos that will try to offer something unique or special or
secret or ancient. Do not be deceived!
What Body-Flow offers is something you always and already have. We are most emphatically not talking
about exercise here, but about an entire way of being in the world, breath by breath. Biomechanical
Exercises are both the key and the vehicle for your own transformation as a moving creature. And each
daily breath will fuel your journey.
Get the book, access your Body-Flow, and discover its wisdom as your own. May the Flow be
with you and Be you.
Dear Friends,
Hello! My name is Michael Gannon. Like so many of us, I am just an ordinary post-fifty boomer, feeling the march of
Time. I have no special degrees after my name, nor the authority of any established tradition or institution. But my
eyes know gold when they see it and my heart knows truth when it hears it. Let me tell you right away that this book
is a Gift. Once you have read it and feel in your body the wisdom it awakens, you will want to give it to as many of
your loved ones as you can. With the publication of Body-Flow, Coach Sonnon has insured that countless numbers
of people from many walks of life will not have to suffer debilitating degeneration as they age. Far from it. By
adopting a few simple procedures outlined in Body Flow, you can spend the rest of your life becoming fitter beyond
your wildest dreams; and have fun doing it! From the outset, I want to make it clear that I have no financial
connection to Coach Sonnon or RMAX.tv Productions. I did not get paid to edit Body-Flow. I volunteered.
Why? Because I cannot think of a single friend or family member who could not benefit enormously from this book.
Enormously! This book is that good. I want the people I care about most to read it. I want them to be comfortable in
their bodies and to be easy in their breath for the rest of their days.
How many of us can still climb a tree like we could when we were ten? Or run around all day and never seem to tire?
Or touch our nose with our toes? By the time I turned fifty, I couldnt. Mind you, I have been a runner and practiced
Tai Chi for years. But this old body was starting its slow meltdown to the land of creaky joints and sore limbs. I just
assumed loss of mobility was normal as I aged.
An astute fitness pundit once observed that if you want to be fit, follow a 10-year-old boy around all day and do
everything he does. How many of us could even come close to keeping up? Wed be ready for recess by 10 AM!
Everyone to whom Ive ever mentioned this observation has resonated with it, and in doing so, perhaps felt a small
twinge of something missing that was once his or hers.
Body-Flow will convince you that you still have it. That elusive something is not missing, just buried
under years of armoring yourself from lifes little slings and arrows.
Body-Flow is not something new you need to acquire; it is something you re-acquire, an innate
ability that you begin to remember and recover.
This is great news! But, if you are at all like me, youve spent years of your life protecting that little boy or girl with
endless body kinks, little habits of thought and movement that have become concrete in your flesh. Watch children
pick something up off the floor. What do they usually do? They squat down quickly and grasp it. None of that
bending down with slow deliberation you see in so many adults. Or watch a teenager break-dance. He or she is not
doing anything that is not your birthright; nothing you could not have done long ago but have since convinced
yourself is no longer possible.
Armed with the insights of Body-Flow, you can get it back.
You can keep up with a 10 year old.
You can hop a fence or roll around on the ground for fun.
You can bust a move on your friends and be free of joint pain.
All it takes is one small choice, one tiny decision. All you need to do is be willing to try a few fun and easy to
understand moves that will wake your body up from years of slumber, grant it freedom from the emotional armoring
you have trapped your natural movement in, what Coach Sonnon calls Fear-Reactivity.
Unless you live completely free of fear in all areas of your life, Body-Flow can help you confront, deal with, and make
peace with this facet of being human.
In Body-Flow, you are introduced to the notion of Biomechanical Exercise.
These are ways of moving that awaken your long-forgotten abilities to:
move like a cat,
run like a gazelle,
leap like a frog.
This is not hype. This is fact. These exercises work.
Body-Flow is not about making you stronger, although it will. It is not about making you more agile, although it will
do that, too. It is about finding what you thought youd lost.
It is about re-educating your body, mind, and spirit to release whatever muscle tension, emotional blockage, and
troublesome habits that inhibit your movement and emotional expression in life; or, as Coach Sonnon says, binds
your flow.
Body-Flow shows you how to reverse-engineer the many mal-adaptations that hinder your movement. It shows you
how to move with sophistication and how to be at home in your own body. The cool thing is, it shows you how to do
this with your own Breath.
We all have to breathe, its something we do a lot of each day. So, like it or not, we are constantly training our body
and thoughts with the manner in which we breathe. Why not use this to get incrementally healthier for the rest of
your life? Why not use your many daily breaths as a vehicle for improving your entire bodily presence in the world, to
slow and keep at bay the inevitable decline with which Time stalks us all? This is what Coach Sonnon calls Perpetual
Exercise.
As my own flow continues to unbind in surprising and wonderful ways, I can only encourage anyone reading this to
get Coach Sonnons remarkable book. You will never ever regret it. Doing just a little bit, let alone all of the fine
Biomechanical Exercise routines it suggests, confers so much in so little time, it is astounding.
Body-Flow contains so many insights and practical guidelines, even the most cursory reading is going to have a life
changing impact.
Editing this little gem of a book has been a true labor of love. The opportunity to help bring Body-Flow to a greater
audience has been a lesson in unbinding my own flow for the purpose of helping others. Working with Coach Sonnon,
watching him coach himself into expressing a way of being happy in the body that is accessible to everyone, old or
young, has been a rare treat. I personally owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for all he has so freely and
generously given.
Im sure Body-Flow will have its imitators, books and videos that will try to offer something unique or special or
secret or ancient. Do not be deceived!
What Body-Flow offers is something you always and already have. We are most emphatically not talking about
exercise here, but about an entire way of being in the world, breath by breath. Biomechanical Exercises are both
the key and the vehicle for your own transformation as a moving creature. And each daily breath will fuel your
journey.
I could write endlessly about how great this stuff is. But much better would be for you to get the book, access your
Body-Flow, and discover its wisdom as your own.
May the Flow be with you and Be you. - Michael Gannon (editor of the Body-Flow book)
"A blueprint to mastering your dreams a masterpiece which will be referenced for years to come."
John Davies, The CODE Magazine, May 7, 2003
"...appealing and sublime ...it addresses a harmonious interplay of body/mind/spirit in such an easily
accessible manner."Michael Gannon, Full Circle Magazine, May, 2003

enhancement technology and philosophy."Dave Rusin
When I received this book I was surprised at how quickly it arrived. I placed the order and within days it came in the
mail. Since I had seen Coach Sonnons material before and was impressed I was not surprised that this book held to
the same standards. This book parallels my view that health and fitness is a lifestyle and is a natural state. Far too
many people only see the physical aspect of training be it fitness or combatives. Scott Sonnon clearly understands
that training isnt about just the body it involves the whole person - body, mind, and dare I say it; spirit.
The first part of the book goes into enough detail for the layman to get a firm grasp on the scientific factors that come
into play as we strive to reach our natural state of health and fitness. Sonnon talks about getting out of the way so
that we can attain Body Flow because Body-Flow isnt something you achieve it is something that you let return.
I can see that there will be people out there that will not grasp this. They are looking for a book on training
techniques and/or specific exercises to train physical/acrobatic ability. Move like an animal by doing these training
techniques is not what it is about, they should be able to re-learn to move like an animal, but from coming to
understand the concepts, not techniques. This book does contain biomechanical exercises which are some examples
of movements which to my understanding act as keys to Body-Flow. These are actually physical movements which
when learned unlock psychological blockages which prevent a person from reaching his natural grace. There is
nothing "magical" about these exercises unless you count returning to your natural state of graceful movement
"magical". There are many scientific references in the first half of the book for people to see that this took years of
research for Coach Sonnon to develop a way to express how he connected the dots from his exposure to these
experts, travel and training in Russia and his own experience from his sambo career. This book is truly remarkable
and a must for those who wish to take a road less traveled to optimal health and fitness. - Jim
I just received my copy. I must say, Thank you. So much of what is out there on the internet is hype.
Body-flow is not. I've only spent 45 minutes with it so far. Words cannot express my satisfaction and pleasure.
Scott has put into words what many of us out here feel, think, and seek. This is unbelievable value in today's world.
Please pass my gratitude and congratulations on to Scott and your entire team. - Paul Espinola
I agree that this book is going to be quite valuable to just about everyone. Like your forum friend Judy I regulary
take lessons and occasionally compete in Ballroom and latin dancing. Upon reading the "Quiet As Protocol" on page
46, It immediately triggered memories of the few "white moments" I have experienced in dance where I became
blatantly aware that I could not hear the steps I was taking on the floor. I have typically been unable to enter into
such moments by simply trying to make my steps quieter and I hope that by reading and practicing the priciples of
Body-Flow, such moments will be more and more frequent, and not just on the dance floor. Best Regards and Best
Wishes for sfea and healthy delivery! - Angelo
U know how often I'll be able to post now but I just wanted to say this. I got the book yesterday afternoon and have
only got a chance to read the first 40 pages. While that may not sound like much it actually is. As Scott puts it he
could go into great depth on each topic but he wants to distill to right out of the package read that you put to
IMMEDIATE practice. I have never had a fitness book like it. It's part physiology, psychology ,spirituality .It deals with
performance not from a set/rep scheme But in terms of unbinding your bodys' natural flow. It shows what happens to
you internally in terms of reacting to external stress. How movement, alignment, and breathing affect everything you
do. This book really is unique .Everyone should have it .It won't just improve your fitness level but also your overall
health. - GWKB/CB/JSR Cory
I finished reading it today and I am (searching for a word that hasn't ever been used in description, but you can go
with blown away, amazed, etcetera). I am so pleased by it. This is a line that hit home "It's a way of looking and
interacting with the world, and rejoining the natural flow of everything...it's a way of removing the final wall - the
distinction between you and the world" Such resonation! I love it. Michael- how goes your indo board sessions? I
ordered one a couple of days ago. I ordered the mini pro, size looked about right, I have experience skateboarding so
I thought it the best choice. I also got it so I could have some room for some Body-Flow. Great job on the editing! Charlie McCarthy
I am posting for the first time and very happy to be starting a new journey. I wish to thank coach for pointing the
way for me. Your insights have given me a fresh look at myself. I just received my copy of Body Flow yesterday and
have not been able to put it down. This morning, It hit me how much I have been in my own way. I have been more
concerned about thinking, planning, organizing, and scheming to create this person whom i thought was what I
wanted, rather then just going about and being me. All the energy I expended in that pursuit amazes me. The first
thing I am going to do is to go play again. It sounds silly, which is exactly what I want. I dont know if I have to learn
to, or just go out and do it, but already I am happy. I am looking forward to being alone in this together with all of
you. - Chris Chard
Scott, the book is outstanding! I'm not just saying that because I had a small part in its presentation. I really think
it came out quite well. I'm proud to have my name in it. Thank you for the privilege! And for your kind words on my
signed copy!!! Ken's Prologue and Steve's Introduction grab the reader and segue very nicely into your
presentation. The TOC gives a good overview. The narrative flow draws the reader into contemplation of their own
body-mind. The Biomechanical Exercises are clearly explained and you make them look deceptively simple. Too
many pictures? Jesus H. Christ!! If one more person says that I'll slap him. I know Body-Flow will provide me with
endless explorations and ever-increasing comfort in my body-mind. This old kinked-up coddger-boomer has found a
key to the fountain of youth to ease his breathing and movement until the end of his days. And I'm damned grateful!
Scott, I've been around the block a bit, I know value and genuine genius when I see it. Your biggest challenge here is
probably going to be detaching from the rightful pride you must feel. What a blast to be able to help millions of
people! What a high! You lucky guy! From the bottom of my heart, Thank You.
Your Friend on the Path - Michael
Coach, Just did it and was happy to do so! I had no doubt the book would be great but it exceeded my expectations
!Thank you for writing this gem! - John
Coach, I dropped everything and read Body-Flow cover to cover yesterday.
As a philosopher myself, one of my beefs with the old dead white guys has been the fact that they greatly
ignored (till recently, i.e. Lakoff and Johnson) the role of the body in our experience of the world.
Thank you for doing such a good job of taking philosophy out of the armchair.
Structurally, I really dig the fact that you set Body-Flow up as a microcosm, from which most of your
work can be derived given time and experiment. - Rufus

further improvement I know this sounds like a pitch. I feel awkward writing it because it smacks of all those late
night infomercials on cable, but I really owe Scott a lot for what hes done for my training and, as a result, my life.
Hell, TRAINING IS MY LIFE." Andreh Anderson, Martial Artist
The goal of this program is "Perpetual Exercise", that is taking this routine and using the principals in your normal
daily life. It teaches you to use your movement to breathe you, oppose to making breathing a conscious activity. By
doing this, you give your body more energy by using your breathing more efficiently as you integrate it with your
movement and alignment. This is a breathing re-education! But also, this program will lubricate and expand the range
of motion in your spine. Moreover, this program will strengthen your "core" muscles, beyond the best Pilates
program(I should know...I teach Pilates and was trained in Stott Core Conditioning). Mr. Sonnon, initially gives you
the theory behind this program and presents his audience with "THE Perpetual" movement behind this breathing reeducation concept. Then he shows five skills(Butterfly, Pike, Straddle, Hurdler, Shinbox twist) to enhance your
perpetual exercise. It goes from complex to more complex. The movements are simple in understanding, yet
challenging in practice. If you are familiar with basic Pilates movements, you'll find all the skills to be similar to the
"Roll up" and "Rollover". Yet, they are more challenging or sophistocated. The goal is not core conditioning, it's a byproduct of this breathing re-education program. Again, it's about allowing your movement to breathe you! "It's not
the finger pointing, but the moon". - Robert Verdell, yoga instructor
FLOWFIT
Burn Fat, Build Muscle, Gain Glow
FlowFit is a 4-Phase, incrementally-progressing multi-movement chain from Prasara Body-Flow Yoga uniquely constructed based upon Scott Sonnon's years of championship coaching and competing at an
international level in multiple sports. He learned that to be successful, not just in the short-term of an
event, but in the long-term of life, you need to address every angle of the human motor condition, called:
The Six Degrees of Freedom:
Heaving: moving up and down;
Swaying: moving left and right;
Surging: moving forward and back;
Pitching: tilting up and down;
Yawing: turning left and right;
Rolling: tilting side to side.
By magically addressing each of the 6 degrees of human movement freedom in one concise Prasara flow,
amazing results happen not merely immediately, but perpetually... for as long as you continue to practice
the minimum of only 14 minutes, 3 times per week. FlowFit is specifically, scientifically designed to be:
available to all skill and fitness levels;
almost infinitely flexible, with no two workouts ever the same
requires only 14-18 minutes a session;
used for anything from a gentle tai-chi like meditation, to a warm-up, to a brutal butt-whipping workout,
to a cool-down;
covers all basic fitness elements in only an hour a week;
a stand-along, one-stop, biggest bang for your buck fitness program;
an introduction to Coach Sonnon's amazing Prasara Body-Flow Yoga system;
the first follow-along fitness routine in history specifically, scientifically designed for the removal of fear
reactivity.
Coach Sonnon artistically composed this equipment-free course to take you off the couch for those with
even the most basic fitness level using a stool or chair as an aid.
If you've never done any fitness exercise, Phase 1 is where you begin! Following the easy-to-understand
guidelines, FlowFit will catapult you to Phase 4 optimal athleticism in only a few minutes each day!
This DVD is specifically designed to peak your fitness in only 14 minutes through Coach Sonnon's unique,
proprietary method of Intuitive Training, which is thoroughly though simply explained in the introduction.
The DVD is broken into three sections:
US $39.95 + SHP
FlowFit is an entry point to Coach Sonnon's life-changing, sport-enhancing products that is literally available to all
fitness and skill levels. It offers the blessing of physical flow, the most sought-after (and rarely found) aspect of
athletic performance. Easy? Ive taught it to a student two hundred pounds overweight. Tough? Anyone who can
perform the advanced levels is in seriously gnarly shape, I kid you not. Effective? Let me tell you a story: In 05 I
was practicing a world famous form of Hot yoga, a 90-minute routine famous for taxing professional athletes. Id
struggled with it. Coach Sonnon sent me a copy of FlowFit, and while I was on two weeks vacation in Maui, I
practiced it daily for just 14 minutes. When I next took the yoga class it felt easy.
Fourteen minutes!? FlowFit has a majority of yoga or Tai Chi's benefits, but can be learned in hours rather than
months or years. Fourteen minutes, three times a week provides all minimum fitness requirements (endurance,
flexibility, coordination, upper and lower body strength) and is also a perfect warm-up for more intense athletic
activity. It also possesses powerful meditative aspects: Physical flow is famous for clarifying the mind (students
report that it turns off the voices in their heads! and is a key to curing such psychological problems as writers
block) and breaks the specific chains of muscle tension locking fear reactivity in the body.
This is the real deal, a fitness program that actually delivers what it promises in a brief, intense, safe, and incredibly
fun and flexible workout. I practice it personally, share it with my own family, and FlowFit stands at the center of
the life-coaching workshops Scott and I teach. A higher recommendation than that, I cannot offer." - Steven Barnes
is a NY Times Bestselling author and martial artist. He has lectured on creativity, health, and personal empowerment
at UCLA, Mensa, and the Smithsonian Institute.
I received FlowFit today and it is an awesome series within Prasara Body-Flow, as well as a stand-alone
introductory course. I don't care who says you can only get stronger with weight training, this program will build a
STRONG body! Not to mention the ROM, coordination, balance, athleticism, and overall bodymind awareness benefits.
The greatest characteristic of FlowFit, however, is it's thorough explanation of Intuitive training. It shows how to
break down an exercise into it's components to ensure the quickest and most efficient route to internalization of the
movements. Bravo! - Ryan Williams
I really think this is the best program I have seen. The approach to training, the exercises selected, and the
coaching is incredible. Makes me want to get a big screen plasma TV for it, it's that good. Terry Trahan
I received my copy of FlowFit today as well. I've watched the entire thing, tried all the exercises at the multiple
levels, and gone through the beginner phase. I can comfortably do some of the exercises at the second level but will
need to stick at the first level for a few of them, for now.
I'm very very impressed with FlowFit. The plain background and soft blue color really help you focus on the
exercises and not get distracted. The audio quality is very good; you never have to strain to hear Coach's voice while
he goes through the exercises. I also really like the layout of the menus, very simple yet efficient.
The introduction was very well worded. Intuitive training was explained well and was simple to understand.
Each of the exercises is explained wonderfully. Once again, very easy to understand. Coach goes through them at the
perfect speed to follow along, I hardly ever found myself confused and I consider myself a true beginner to RMAX
products. As was said before, they look much easier then they actually are. I had a pretty good sweat going after
trying them all out and that wasn't even going through the actual flows.
Watching Coach Sonnon work through the flows answered all the questions I had while playing with the individual
exercises. I think people will have no problem following along.
All in all I think FlowFit is a wonderful product! It's going to be very exciting implementing it into my life. It's
another great exercise routine that can be brought with you anywhere, requires no equipment once you move beyond
the beginner levels (although you can find a good sturdy base almost anyway if you're at the beginner level), and
leaves you feeling great. Although I think my couple months of Intu-Flow experience really helped with the
exercises, someone with no RMAX experience at all can jump right into FlowFit and get a LOT out of it. It's seems to
be a great introduction into what RMAX can offer.
Congratulation guys! Absolutely terrific work! - Todd Erven
"Joseph Pilates taught us that it all begins inside, but he never gave use a tool. This does. Moreover, it forces you
into the moment. Right here and right now. Its a place where some dare to tread and other just dont know how.
This will teach you. Yoga, folks!
.The DVD also includes great flows that combine the individual movements in a kinetic chain or vinyasa. Any yes,
there is something for everyone. Even the most elementary flow looks as if its a mini-ballet." Robert Verdell
This is a phenomenal program. The concept that exercise is an internal experience with a clear means of gauging
that experience is paramount to CST. It is the notion that we are our best teacher, we just have to listen and observe.
I find the instruction outstanding. The clear and concise means of incremental sophistication is the exact process I like
about RMAX material. I may not be a great athlete, but with a clear road map I can realize my potential. Joseph
Shwartz, CST
After my 2nd session of Flow-Fit, I couldn't be more pleased! I woke up in such a crazy mood this morning I couldn't
believe it. One of those moods where you're really quiet, and nothing's changed on the surface, but then you realize
by the reactions of others that you suddenly have new strength. The kind of strength that allows you to be your own
master, judge and deliberate and not be swept along with the opinions and desires of someone else. It's good to be
doing what you can to be of service, but it's fantastic that you could step back inside and decide what is the real good
and not be emotionally bullied.
I didn't even realize that part of me was just going along for the sakes of peace and quiet. I'd guess we all do this, at
least to some degree. Thanks, Scott, for coming up with this, that can give me this additional strength. Your friend, Peter Nguyen

"I got it in the mail yesterday and watched it last night. Like all RMAX products it was very well produced. Coach
Sonnon does an outstanding job of explaining each of the six exercises in incremental fashion like he does in Flow Fit
I and putting it all together in a nice smooth flow. This is definitly more advanced and takes more athletic skills on the
movements than Flow Fit I.
Coach Sonnon stresses the importance of practicing each exercise at its basic level until technique is 8 or higher
before moving on to the next level. This program looks to be very challenging and fun and should take one athletism
and flow to another level." - Brett Callaway
FORWARD PRESSURE
The Yang of Yoga
Forward Pressure: The Yang of Yoga is a 3 phase, incrementally progressive Prasara Body-Flow
dedicated to the development of power to yield, halt and overcome forces in the frontal plane: the
eccentric, isometric and concentric strength of the core and all four limbs. This course was uniquely
crafted from Scott Sonnon's years of championship coaching of thousands of athletes as well as competing
himself at an international level in multiple sports.
It is named The Yang of Yoga to metaphorically refer to the rebalancing emphasis that this style of
yoga intends. Weve seen a recent fixation on the yin aspect of yoga: referring to the releases of
connective tissue and joints. The yang aspect, contrarily, alludes to muscle and movement.
This is not to say that Prasara Body-Flow is either Yin or Yang. How can it be? One cannot exist without
the other. No activity is specifically this or that. It's always integrated. Only our beliefs are separated. But,
it is the recent domination of yin presentations of yoga which prevents access to it for many people, if not
most men. The generative, yielding feminine aspect has reclaimed its rightful place in fitness and internal
work. But like everything, there must be balance, and in this case homeostatic rebalancing. That is what
the yang aspect of yoga brings to us: a sensible yogic path which develops sound muscularity through
movement.
Before the PC commercialization of yoga in the West, youd never find a namby-pamby milquetoast guru.
Yogi were each and every one tough, strong men who wrestled, swung heavy clubs (even the Indian god
of strength, Hanuman, is depicted hoisting heavy clubs), performed acrobatics on ropes and pillars, and
practiced very challenging gymnastic movement sessions. Good luck to you if you weren't living up to your
potential (just ask Coach Sonnon's athletes!)
Having this style of yoga available gives access to so many more people, especially men who just cant
grasp the contortions of a 105lbs woman. Re-injecting masculinity back into the equation only restores
balance to the equation. That's not to say that Forward Pressure is a "men's only yoga". Many women will
be absolutely delighted to finally be able to appreciate the muscular movement that you won't find
anywhere more present than in Forward Pressure. Women will LOVE this course!You need a total
integrated path for yourself. Sometimes you need to be gentle and release, to concentrate on centering
your thoughts and controlling your emotions. Sometimes, on the other hand, you need to take action, to
move and writhe in the ecstasy of physical life! It's all in balance.
No style of yoga is superior. No yoga is THE way. Yoga is about creating YOUR way. Forward Pressure will
contribute to your opportunity to do just that. The DVD is scientifically, systematically crafted into four
equally empowering sections:
II. Instruction: the mechanics of breath, structure and movement in each exercise;
IV. Compensations: the specific movements to balance and anchor the gains you make in the
Flow Chains.

"I never gave a review for FlowFit, but what I was most surprised by was how comprehensive of a program it was.
Full body stretching, strengthening, stress relief and cardio all in one neat package! I firmly believe it will
revolutionize fitness as we know it if given the chance. I feel the same thing is true for Forward Pressure and its effect
in frontal plane strength.Thumbs way up once again Coach!!! - Geoff Dixon
"Just finished watching the whole DVD. I liked the format for this DVD its similar to FlowFit and very easy to
understand, with 7 movements and a series of progressive flows... The exercises themselves are great! I can honestly
say I've never seen anything quight like it. You definitly wont find any other upper body calistenics courses without
push ups. - Brian Bales
"I watched the dvd all the way through and I can't wait to get started. This is going to be a great strength and flow
developer and a good companion to FlowFit and Intu-Flow. Coach Sonnon breaks the excercises down in 3 levels
so we can progress in baby steps. Then he goes through the flows which are definitly going to be challenging. Also
there's the compensatory exercises that help you recover from the built up tension. Great job Coach Sonnon and
RMAX, thanks for another outstanding product. Goodbye bench press." Bret Callaway
"I'm really enjoying Forward Pressure" - Thomas
CLUBBELL TRAINING
BIG BOOK OF CLUBBELL TRAINING
By Coach Sonnon
292 pages, hundreds of step-by-step photos
Throughout world history the club has been utilized not only for combat but also for health restoration
and strength development. Records of club use date as far back as ancient Egypt, with the practice
reaching its peak at the end of the 19th century. Scott Sonnon, creator of the patented Clubbell, has
resurrected this ancient discipline through his own extensive research, experimentation, and personal
practice. He has successfully integrated, evolved, and refined the club into one of the most "simply
sophisticated" exercise approaches ever created the Circular Strength Training (CST) system. Going
far beyond the limited practice of old-style "Indian Clubs," the CST system contains a collection of nearly
100 proprietary Clubbell training exercises. As part of this fitness movement, Coach Sonnon also
created International Clubbell Sport, which has attracted athletes from around the globe.
Clubbell Training provides a unique blend of functional, full-range, three-dimensional muscular
development that stands in stark contrast to the problematic limitations of conventional two-dimensional
linear training. Practicing this system revitalizes, reenergizes and reorganizes every unused and over
abused cell in your body from head to toe, core to periphery, and bones to skin. Benefits of Clubbell
Training include increased metabolism for a day-long fat burn, the breakup of restrictive adhesions and
calcium deposits around the joints, the release of bound tension, the generation of tremendous energy
and vitality, increased bone density, and injury prevention. CST training promotes significant gains in
strength, power, stamina, endurance, and general health and longevity. It is the most fun that one can
possibly have exercising!
Topics include
25 sport-specific sample programs for golf, tennis, volleyball, football, baseball, soccer, and hockey

"Clear, beautiful, accessible, comprehensive - everyone involved deserves a huge hand --- clapping hands, clapping
hands...a wonderful flagship product - it reflects superbly on the creators and the community" - Cody Fielding, CST
Head Coach
"I have received my BBOCT, and I have only had a chance to skim through it. Everything I saw was very impressive.
I looked first at the exercises and found more than I could ever fit into one workout. I love all of the variations and
advanced moves! I also enjoyed what I read of the history of club training, I think this is important because it shows
how far the club has come and that it is not some primitive, raw artifact that has been made into the new fad, but
an elegant, precise piece of equipment that may have reached its pinnacle, and we have but to reap the benefits of
years of refinement by warriors of the past, and now our Coach Sonnon. Great work on the book, coach, and all
those of you who put work in on it. Your excellence in all your diversity is an inspiration!" - Travis Steele
"Just received The Big Book of CLUBBELL TRAINING yesterday, and as was expected, it is a complete and superb
coverage of Clubbell Training; as well as a solid introduction to the CST system. The illustrations are excellent with
the arrows indicating direction and flow. The written explanations along with the pictures, also make the exercise
instructions very "user friendly". The landscape pictures are also beautiful, (although the scenes of the raving ocean
on the beach still haunts me, after a near death incident five weeks ago.) Thank You, and Congratulations Coach
Sonnon, Nikolay, and the entire RMAX staff for a this landmark publication." - Luis Arraaga, CST
"This Friday I was fortunate and elated to find my copy of the long awaited Big Book of Clubbell Training waiting for
me. My first impressions were "Wow!". Right away I was very impressed with the layout, which enabled as much
information to be packed into each page without creating a feeling of crowdedness - which is a hard feeling to avoid
in a book with of the depth of a CST course. The Big Book of Clubbell Training is an incredibly comprehensive
resource that gives you all that you need to know to become extremely successful in your CST practice, whether a
novice CST athlete and or a seasoned CST veteran. With the great deal of evolution that we've seen in CST, its
been hard for a great deal of people to follow all of the new programs. The Big Book truly covers everything a
beginner CST athlete would need to know for their Clubbell practice ranging from how to apply the 7 Components
of structure to ideas on how to enhance performance in their given sport . No stone is left unturned in this
comprehensive guide of Coach Sonnon "teaching you how to fish" with Clubbells. The Big Book of Clubbell Training
has a comprehensiveness that is only second to live training." - Sean Flanagan, CST
It truly provided people with new ways of training, new unique tools, which opened entirely new horizons
for everyone!
Health pundits such as WASHINGTON POST Fitness Columnist and World Powerlifting Champion, Marty
Gallagher endorsed Coach Sonnons course as, "providing applicable muscle power, outside-the-box, filling
in the gaps that exist within conventional weight training... an effective fitness system which gets results!"

"Most of the sports conditioning information out there is nothing but the same rehashed stuff. I dare you to find Scott
Sonnon's unique material in another source! Sonnon is without doubt one of the top conditioning coaches in the US,
the thinking man's coach." - Pavel Tsatsouline, author of The Russian Kettlebell Challenge
"Scott Sonnon's Circular Strength Video and Clubbell is the best thing I've run across for pertinent training in many
years. The re-birth of the use of Clubbells will go down as Scott's brainchild. He has managed to not only resurrect a
nearly lost exercise program, but has managed to bring it into the 21st. Century. The video is very precise; the
exercises perfectly displayed and articulated. He has managed to lay a solid foundation for all of us to build on. The
Clubbell is simply a great design and concept. Scott has managed to take safety into consideration and constantly
emphasizes the importance of proper handling, not for the sake of the bell (for it's TOUGH) but for the sake of the
practitioner. You cannot help but get a tremendous workout from these units. I whole-heartedly recommend these to
not only martial artists, but strength athletes looking to hit those hard-to-get-at muscles." - Tony Cecchine, World's

"Brandon's new book takes Clubbell training to new levels. Anyone who has witnessed the incredible acceleration

Get this manual or imperil your athletic performance whether you're a martial artist, boxer, sports player, or just

become the blueprint for future generations of elite fighting prowess." - Scott Sonnon, Inventor of the Clubbell,
Designer of the Circular Strength Training System
This Manual by Brandon Jones could quite easily have been entitled Less is more. From the outset Brandon lets you
know what his manual is not; it is not a step by step manual of punches and techniques so your are under no illusions
as to the content ,previously I have felt thoroughly let down by such statements as it usually advises on exactly what
I havent purchased, but not in this case.
This manual begins at the start there is no pointless filler or egotistical photos of the author, typical in an industry
which worships itself. Quoting scientific studies on velocity and clear diagrams explaining the boxing wave as opposed
to the marathon wave; youll immediately understand what is required of you.
The next chapter deals with bodys energy systems, most people purchasing this manual will already have an idea on
how this works, if you dont you will be left in no doubt why you feel a certain way after training.
The Tabata protocol is next with the cleverest variation added; I dont want to say too much but I will say this, I have
been involved in martial arts for 21 years, today I have changed my training off the back of what Brandon has
advised, from the outset you will see the sense, get the conditioning right for your respective competition with his
110% rule.
Further chapters cover triangulation, joint mass centre, along with the debunking of some boxing training myths and

But there's a much more universal, much more efficient, and much less traumatic way of accomplishing
the same thing, and in a way that remains accessible to anyone, not just to those who can withstand the
blender.
The body (in particular the neuro-immuno-endocrine super-system) cannot differentiate between physical
and emotional/symbolic distress. Deliberately marching with aplomb through circulo-respiratory distress
using our unique fear-removal techniques converts the "adrenal dump" into a slow, proportionate release.
FlowFighting crafts drill and work progression in such an incremental fashion to specifically elicit an
adaptation to gradual exposure to combative chaos, friction, failure, surprise and fear.
The primary concentration on FlowFighting is an "athlete first" perspective, where even and especially
the coaches lead from the front by example. The coaching pedagogy springs from Coach Sonnon's
revolutionary model of optimal performance in martial art: the Three Dimensional Performance Pyramid.
Flow is the optimal human experience. Every culture in the world, throughout recorded history, has
discussed this phenomenon with different terms and common descriptions. It is the ability to remain
sangfroid within the face of crises; it is the ability to be truly at peace in the face of combative resistance.
In the microcosm of sports, it receives our greatest concentration. In the vehicle of personal
transformation and transcendence we call martial art; it is the paragon of personal mastery. It is what
we strive to embrace and allow.
Flow is our natural, genetic gift of bliss in the face of strife. We don't need to learn it, as it is biologically
wired into our entire neuro-immuno-endocrine system (and now the focus of intense studies in the
blossoming field of psychoneuroimmunology).
Flow is the zero resistance aptitude which allows one to respond immediately, spontaneously and
improvisationally to life as it happens. It is that last emphasized phrase which people strive for - so simple
a comment, so elusive a goal. Thousands of years of exploration have gone into its exploration... truly be
now.
Flow in martial art uses the microcosm of controlled fighting to stimulate the neuro-immuno-endocrine
reflex to stress. This transformative event allows us to experience fluid, supple, resilient now-ness in the
laboratory of fighting.
Conventional martial art training dresses itself in the trappings of the gross physical skill. And yet in every
style, every master; (those considered masters by others, rather than the 'rank') has expressed flow as
the central goal, tenet and vehicle of martial art. The skills are just the product, and their refinement just
a by product of the process of embracing flow.
Experiencing the eye of the fighting's hurricane, places life's daily stressors in perspective, for the ultimate
stress in life is mortal strife. Physiologically, there is no other stressor greater in human experience than
having to fight another human being. It is our most basal, feral experience. Long ago, we realized that we
can use that wild dog to yoke our optimal experience through incremental immersion in this trial by fire.
Flow is not something we develop, but something we allow. We allow it by removing the restrictive forces
competing for our personal mastery. This bound-flow as Coach Sonnon has called it is the actual target
of our practice. It is the direct pursuit of flow which is why it eludes so many thousands of martial artists
for so many thousands of years. Pursuing flow is like catching the same part of the river twice.
Circular Strength Training is the central practice of FlowFighting;. This is because Flow in Fitness is
prerequisite for Flow in Fighting. So many conventional martial art programs attempt to tap flow without
the fundamental physical, mental and emotional preparedness. Personal practice is paramount to success.
(This is also why certification in CST is prerequisite to certification in FlowFighting.
Flow is the optimal human experience, which is why personal mastery through FlowFighting™ elicits
a better quality of life, ease of being, happiness and vibrant health.
In FlowFighting, you cultivate flow from the first day of practice, training and competition. And although
there is an enormously sophisticated process within the unseen interior of the RMAXblack box;
pedagogical paradigm, all you need do is practice. Everything else will happen of its own accord.
"What impresses me about Scott's material is its ability to be used "right out of the box!" - Bruce Carleton, 2002 BJJ
Pan-American Gold Medalist
I am very impressed with you continued efforts to provide a user friendly format that contains information that I
can apply to my current studies and show immediate improvement. My school does not spend sufficient time on the
subject matter that your tapes have cover and so this is a wonderful example of information that I can utilize that I
was not getting in my normal practice. I really can not say enough about the quality and content of your products as
well as your excellent customer service. I look forward to your future releases Thank you! - Brad Buchholz
I own all the video instructional sets and am very pleased with the unique content presented and the valuable
insights Ive gotten from them. - Joel Millares, Brazilian Jiujitsu
I think it is well worth the money. I intend to buy all of your products. You are explaining things that people have
missed for years or learned in an inefficient manner. The truth is that your vocabulary is superior to anything else I've
seen. Of course everyone has to train against resistance in the long run, but I am very grateful for the system. People
need to understand unarmed combat before they train. They need to understand biomechanics, because that's the
key to proficiency. Biomechanics are universal and apply to everyone - Sabin Smith
SOFTWORK

research and development with various teams, units and departments around the world.

Absolutely amazing stuff! I think this series really has gotten to the core of martial art and what it is to be a
martial artist. - Brian Bales
This isnt a product I can give a proper review. Its like trying to review "democracy". I can only say will change
the face of your training forever This softwork is a lifetime endeavor. Robert Verdell
Just pick up the Softwork package, an it truly is amazing. For someone to move the way you guys were moving
on the dvd's, that is crazy. - Thomas Thornton
I saw viewed the softwork DVD and it was awesome. Coach, I must say that the personal trainers at my job
thought highly of you and said you are "da man". Thanks for the experience. Bao Tran, CST Coach
I got my copy of Softwork Friday. I managed to watch just the Shockability portion before I was run out of the
house for the weekend! I finished watching yesterday and was amazed. I now finally see the whole RMAX package.
A believer in Warrior Wellness and Body-Flow, it was nice to see that it's more than just tumbling on the
ground or flipping over picnic table. as fun as that is. Growing up, I was a big Tarzan fan and always wanted to
move like was described in the books but I never cold quite mange the fluidity that Scott and Dan have achieved. It
is like they have achieved movement at the most primal level as was discussed in the video. I must admit as well
that I have not been the most studious of people when it came to Body-Flow but I can honestly say the now I see a
full application, I will most definatly increase my daily practice.
I know that RMAX is not a martial art itself, but it is nice to see some martial applications to it. I think that in the
future, people will be saying that what Bruce Lee did for Martial Arts, Scott did for fitness. Reading the article people
have posted on this forum about Body-Flow and the wave principles and structure, really came to life for me in this
video. Dale Moss
I got my copy of Softwork and managed to view the first DVD. Hope to find time to view the second DVD soon. It is
an amazing video. There is a ton of stuff in there to absorb . - Roland Beauregard
Softwork is a positive addition to any serious MA collection. Serious study of the ideas presented in Softworks
should help any MA person master their personal style and improve their skills regardless of the art studied. Dave
Randolph
I have been seriously impressed and inspired by Softwork, and thought I would post a review of it. For those who
don't me, I am a former Affiliate Instructor with Systema UK, so have experience in a systema style of Softwork,
alongside former instructor in JKD/Thai Boxing/Escrima and a few other arts. It is clear to me that Softwork differs
from anything else I have trained, and on seeing and exploring Softwork I knew I had to get Scott over to the UK,
and cant wait to see him in October.
Anyway, here is my review:
Softwork DVD, Scott Sonnon
After 14 days of eager anticipation, it has arrived, Scott Sonnons Softwork, and its even better than I anticipated.
Its difficult to know where to start due to the vast amount of information on the two DVDs, but Ill give it a try!
First, the presentation looks great, beautiful cover design and the content on the box instantly grabbed my attention.
Its a two-disk set, and I wonder how much better that would have been if mastered onto a dual layer disk rather
than two disks, hell if nothing else I get to do some Body-Flow as I engage the DVD player to swap disks.
The DVD is broken into sections, as most are these days, sections covered are:
Disk 1
Shock Absorption
Strategies
Leg Fencing
Touch Response
Putting It All Together
Ground Evasion
Disk 2
Blade Work
Stick Work
Ground Fighting
Guiding Flow
Grappling
Coaching Guidance
Overall there is over 3 hours of content, and that is a lot of value for your money, but not only that, the content is
great, informative, well explained and contains non-stop demonstrations.
For those with RMAX experience, you will instantly recognise RMAX core components and how they all come together,
namely as Softwork. The methods of Shock Absorption, Body-Flow etc, are all there in abundance and are
demonstrated beautifully between Scott and Dan. The DVD is exceptionally complete, structured, progressive and
inspirational, taking you through component after component in such a way it makes me want to run out and get a
few of my students together and go play. This is the culmination of RMAX.. For those without RMAX experience, then
quite simply it will be spellbinding, demonstrating sophisticated motion and grace, alongside what many would call
high-level martial arts ability. If viewed correctly this DVD has the capacity to alter how you train, and how to
maximise your training methodology. It will bring to you many principles and applications, such as how to strike and
absorb strikes efficiently, introduce you to the world of relaxation and intuitive movement, show you how to go with
the flow and move efficiently within your environment.
Continuing the voyage, Scott shows you how to gain a deeper understanding of fear reactivity, how it can inhibit
progression, and how Softwork can break those binds, allowing you to train constructively and progressively. Then
we move onto groundwork, blade and stick, grappling and more, all covered on disk 2, and again each section follows
a continually structured path. Watching the DVD you can see how to take drills and apply them, and for the beginning
martial artist or seasoned martial artist the drills presented can be applied to existing training, or for moving on
existing RMAX training.
Coach Sonnon is not only able to demonstrate with great finesse, but is also able to explain with great clarity, and I
can think of few people who have his ability to convey his ideas and understanding of how the body moves and
responds. I have found that Coach Sonnons work has increased my knowledge and ability with Softwork and
supersedes the training in this area I have had with other systems.
Overall I was impressed with both the quality of production and content, and find little to fault with other than a
suggestion that an introduction at the beginning would have been great. For me this DVD is going to be watched over
and over, as there is much to be gleaned, and much to play with. - Andrew Usher, Director of Integrated Combat
Systems

"HARDWORK Killing Me Softly came via USPS. Only watched the Bonus Disc Combat Warm-up and Cool-down. It
was a stand-alone seminar. If you like the Hardwork trailer, you will be pleased the 3 disc set. - Paul Karpick
This DVD is worth every penny! - Scott Schauland
This is the perfect compliment to Softworks in my opinion. The material moves very fast, so I can see that I will need
to watch it over (and over) again. IN MY OPINION, Flow-Fighting is 21st century martial arts at its best.

3D PERFORMANCE PYRAMID
Three Dimensional Physical Preparedness for the Combat Athlete
Manual By Coach Sonnon
70 pages
Scott Sonnon walks you through the entire philosophy of physical culture, how it integrates, and how to
take your training, practice and competition from novice to master.
From the Author, Coach Sonnon: Some people dont care to see any more of a connection between their
mind and their physical performance than psyching up to get a few more pounds on their bench press, or
telling themselves to push it a couple more minutes on the treadmill. Some people dont desire to go any
deeper into exercise than sweating. This manual is not for those folks.
Ill explain how this manual wrote itself, and you can determine if its the Guidebook to Total Physical
Culture, as it has been for me, and my clients around the world.
Exercise is a simple thing, and doesnt require any philosophical banter in the exhilarating physical
challenge of it. But many people want to understand how it all fits together. Many people want to
maximize their efforts, minimize fluff, and see consistent development and progress. Those more lofty
goals require a level of sophistication in approaching what old-timers turn of the last century called
physical culture which is basically a yoga-like philosophy creed integrating all physical activities, from
boxing to weight-lifting to swimming.
Many people crave in their physical culture the sophistication of yoga or martial art. If youre one of those
people, then this manual may be of use to you. Its my formula for learning how to progress from the
novices thrill of beginning to the masters clarity of precision in any sport, discipline or exercise.
Many people are like I once was - just a simple person craving some substance in your physical journey.
If this describes you, then this amalgam of my 25 years of competitive sports, exercise and coaching may
help you navigate more efficiently and more expediently to avoid pitfalls and accelerate development.
If youre a doubting Thomas cynical of the hottest trend, then youve found the perfect manual for
maintaining healthy skepticism while launching your abilities sky-high by jettisoning the baggage of
unnecessary frills.
I wish you all the excitement, adventure and progress your physical odyssey can unfold.
US$24.95 + SHP
This manual can not only enhance you as an athlete, but a human being. Its pinnacle is "awareness", for the "flow
state" he speaks of cannot be achieved without it.
I feel as if I've lived this manual. It spoke to me personally. It appears to be a work that has taken a lifetime for Scott
Sonnon to create. It wasn't built upon ancient myths, but real blood, sweat and tears. I feel a little guilty for I can so
easily drink today from the well it took a master builder a lifetime to construct. But I truly think that was his
intention." Robert Verdell, teacher. Yoga instructor, martial artist
My respect for his work continues to grow. 3DPP is the most advanced statement of Coach Sonnon's philosophy and
teaching methodology applied to combat athletics. It is, to put it simply, brilliant and unique. By creating a link
between Cardio-Respiratory Distress and the core mental/emotional states that both limit and empower us, Coach
Sonnon has clarified the most direct path to high-level physical and mental performance I have ever seen. Just add
balanced goals and gallons of sweat, and the future is yours! Steve Barnes, author, martial artist, physical
culturalist
"This manual is GOLDEN! 3DPP is the guide to performance enhancement. It goes deeper than just what to do, and
delves deeper into why you do it. How to actually make strides towards your goals rather than simply working up a
sweat
The 3D Performance Pyramid is an amazing training tool and blueprint and this manual breaks down how to use it.
Brandon Jones, CST Alpha Cadre, martial artist
RMAX Training Group Manual is the essential "how-to" counterpart of Coach Sonnon's groundbreaking
Three-Dimensional Performance Pyramid. Whether you seek to apply RMAX to your base of traditional
martial arts or you plan to explore RMAX martial resources exclusively, this manual will explain in simple
concrete terms where and how to start, and where you can take it. Among the topics covered are:
How to found, organize and run an informal RMAX training group
Formulating realistic goals
Laying the foundation - establishing your training Doctrine, Strategy and Tactics
How to craft training Cycles and Classes
Asymmetrical vs. symmetrical drills - how, when and why to program them
How to structure drills for maximum gain
The PDT as diagnostic
Creating Static, Fluid and Dynamic drills - how, when and why
Applying the Softwork-Hardwork Continuum - how, when and why
Integrating your Personal Practice
The RMAX Training Group Manual gives you the tools to cut through dead ends and trial and error to put
your training on the fast track to mastery.

"In case you haven't had the chance, I wanted to personally thank Head Coach Murdock for writing this manual. Ryan
deserves our gratitude for taking RMAX to the next level, to the new iteration, for fostering the very evolution that
this organization was built upon when it's outline was first scrawled on a few loose-leaf, goldenrod legal pages on May
31, 1996.
For 10 years Ryan had already been actively working on the RMAX Training Group Manual, every day with literal blood
and sweat... before he even got involved with RMAX.
Now, Ryan has melded together his academic background in anthropology, his real life harrowing combat experiences
traveling in the most remote and beautifully dangerous corners of the planet, his uncanny erudition as a nationally
awarded writer, with his world class expertise as an RMAX Head Coach. What resulted is simply magic.
In jumping into the ocean which is RMAX, this is not only a how-to guide to swimming, it's a how-to guide to building
a ship, sailing it, picking up passengers, and a map and sextant to distant ports of call.
Folks, the RMAX Training Group Manual is the tangible mission statement of our grass-roots development, one that
"every man" can access, internalize and implement.
Ryan, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for doing us such a great justice and for taking us where we could not
have gone without you becoming a leader in our organization by your contributions, by leading from the front. You're
really hit this one out of the park, bro." - Scott Sonnon, RMAX Founder and Director
"Thank you for writing this manual. I have read it once and will reread it again. Your manual is indeed revolutionary.
In my opinion, you have definitely raised a new bar in the realm of martial arts literature. I am amazed by how you
took very complex concepts and beautifully transformed it into a user friendly format. After reading this manual, I am
sure people will have a clearer picture of FlowFighting and because of your work, my friend, people will have fun
exploring the great work and self mastery. I am so jealous for the novice because I wish this was presented when I
first started. Keep writing more books, my friend.
PS: People please get this book. I highly recommend it. This book is filled with insightful gems. If you're a martial
artist or someone who want to start an informal RMAX training group in your area, this book is for you. This manual
will start a revolution within the martial art community." - Bao Tran, CST Coach

Demonstrations of applications, setups, throws, solo and partner drills and more

Use of range, footwork and grip to change the Joint Mass Center relationship
Solo and Partner drills for development, and how to develop your own original drills

being thrown and to throw from virtually any position by knowing how to control the center. Coach Scott

Fundamental Movement: Figure 8s in developing throws, leg fencing, and other relevant skills

I just finished watching disc one of this new set. Its late and I have to work tomorrow, but I had to keep watching.
Coach Sonnon is the man. There were so many eye openers for me on this DVD...
- The truth behind "Get your "hooks" in"
- Proper heel hooking
- The firepole and the kneebar
- The relationship between Leaking Structure and Failed Submissions
- Why I really need to learn more about CST (the little that I do know helped me understand a little more of the
incredible carryover between the wings)
I also think that this set will help me better understand some of the grappling materials that were placed in the vault.
It's hard to describe, but I guess it seems like in Intu-Flow. There's beginner and advanced, but you can go up and
down the ladder and back, at the same time going deeper....spiraling? So there is no beginner and advanced?
Something like that.
Anyway, I'm pleased with my purchase, and definitely recommend it. I really think it will help my BJJ. Not just the
leglocks either, but my whole game.
This weekend I'll check out disc two... - Cesar Clavijo
An amazing set of material. - Jason Bell
"Scott is an untapped resource as far as I am concerned. What I always have enjoyed about his material is that it is
conceptually far reaching. It always furthers my understanding of fighting and I was able to use some of the things
from this DVD the first night I viewed it." Jason Keaton, Brazilian Jiujitsu Black Belt (Renato Tavares)
King of the Cage and Extreme Combat Challenge Veteran
Owner of Cyclone Mixed Martial Arts Gym: www.cyclonemma.com
"I recently watched the Sambo MMA Leg Attacks DVD and was very excited about the content! I am not a grappler by
any means, but I do want to learn more about it. Most grappling resources (books and DVDs) that I have seen focus
on techniques. This is extremely valuable, but I think Coach Sonnon has raised the bar. The focus was more on
mechanical principles of techniques, which can be repurposed in numerous situations. I enjoy this type of information
more than rote technique, because the information is universally applicable. I'm going to have to watch this one many
times to even begin to process the cornucopia of gems within. Great job, Coach!" - Wade Munson
"Once again Scott Sonnon and RMAX deliver with Sambo MMA Leg Attacks. This DVD leaves no doubt as to the
importance of the leg lock game. One of the best ways to win in martial arts is with the unexpected attack, and if your
opponent has this knowledge and you don't, prepare to tap." - Jeff Higgs, BJJ Black Belt, CST
