ATLANTA, Georgia - Circular Strength Training® (CST), a three-"winged" health and fitness program consisting of pain-free mobility, dynamic flow yoga and natural-athleticism, was named an official health and conditioning system of the U.S. Army, said officials.
CST, which focuses on Heath First and Forever, will be instituted as a training regimen in U.S. Army Combatives School, the 50th Brigade Special Troops Battalion and the 99th RRC Gun Truck Alley.
"Most physical training approaches are nothing more than basic calisthenics programs that don't protect the body against violent encounters," said Scott Sonnon, creator of CST and founder of RMAX International. "CST, which was founded in the martial arts, is a conditioning system designed to physically, mentally and emotionally prepare warriors for battle. The brave U.S. Army soldiers who will now participate in CST workouts will be more prepared to deal with adversity and quickly recover from the trauma of combat."
CST's prehab formula (in deference to rehab) is designed to prevent physiological damage and reduce future joint pain and improve overall health and fitness. The three wings of CST can be performed individually or as a complete program to achieve the best possible results. These wings are:
• Intu-Flow®: Basic movement, structural body alignment and simple breathing to assess and reassess areas of "weakness."
• Dynamic flow yoga: Provides counter-balance to the body, compensating for the positions one adapts to during daily routines.
• Natural athleticism: Swinging weights to provide multi-dimensional resistance, mobility and correct balance of tension on joints and muscles.
"As a pioneer in both the application of newest sports science and as a connection and filter to the best techniques of the past, coach Sonnon and CST have made immeasurable contributions to the program of instruction here at the U.S. Army Combatives School," explained SFC Matt Larsen, non-commissioned officer in charge of U.S. Army Combatives. "By combining an intimate knowledge of fighting and fitness, along with biomechanical efficient movement and the physiological capabilities, he is helping revolutionize the modern combative world." |
