This simply means that we are focused on using the body as a whole rather than specialized gym movement. Using things like calisthenics, ground movement and handstands we build a much more adaptable body with strong connectivity, better organisation. We look look to improve how you move rather than which muscles we can build i.e learn to drive the car better before you go and put a v12 engine on it.
