the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

interview about it. another one of those things that "seems too good to be true"

Dan John is brilliant. Here's a lecture on the basic program. It's still 30 minutes, but shorter than the interview.

i've been working on S&S, but with no intention to ever achieve the Simple milestone. Easy strength seems like a natural transition, and kind of what I do already, anyway. I don't do the ab roller, just a hand walk out toward that final position (after seeing one of those gymnastics/calisthenics videos). Too lazy to go do dead hang or pull-ups, lol

edit: also feels like "easy" is more compatible with "internal". no "brute force" or "muscling".

It's good stuff.

To me the basic point is that everyone needs resistance training. And even a little bit is pretty helpful.

I just watched him do his example "perfect" workout (sorry no link for now too lazy).

It doesn't seem "easy" to me, hahaha. But I get that the resistance he used probably feels easy. took like 8 minutes. love the efficiency.
