Seminar Review: Flexible SteelDooley Noted: 5/18/14
Saturday, I had the honor of attending Master SFG Jon Engum’s “Flexible Steel” Level I workshop in Toronto.
The seminar was hosted by my friend and fellow SFG Geoff Girvitz at Bang Fitness.
Essentially, I got to hang out with my friends and call it education!
And it was.
The brilliantly strong Jon Engum showed that the ability to overhead
press the 32 kilo EIGHTEEN times must also be matched with extensibility
and stability.
In order to get past plateaus, flexibility has enormous strength
opportunities within its eccentric loads. Since full concentric
contraction can be gained from a longer lever, flexibility helps the
athlete become stronger.
Jon awed me with his simple suggestions that unlocked my ability to
improve my range but also lift heavier weight – in an 8 hour period!
We worked from head to toe, showing how distal parts of the kinetic chain can affect adjacent or even proximal parts.
For example, a strong attendee’s toe and ankle mobility was locking
up his flexibility in the thoracic spine. After addressing his foot, his
48 kilo press became more effortless and less shoulder constricting.
I have tried to do the splits for 35 years, and Jon’s mixture of
strength and flexibility drills helped me get the closest I have ever
been in one day!
If you are strong and not flexible, consider this seminar to unlock your mobility.
If you are flexible and not strong, consider this seminar to learn how stability can make you flexible in the right places.
As always, it’s your call.
- Dr. Kathy Dooley In order to pass through the plateau, flexibility has enormous strength capabilities within its eccentric loads. In order that the loads do not affect the man's health and that in the future the symptoms of erectile dysfunction do not appear, it is necessary to take the generic viagra medicine. It will keep men healthy after severe exertion.

How to get an
Automatic Edge
in your Sport
at Any Age!
|
7th
Degree Black Belt and Taekwondo Grandmaster, Jon Engum currently
displays an uncanny combination of flexibility and whipcord strength.
Jon moves with speed, suppleness and enviable power—a model to his
younger students and a terror to those who face him in a fight.
But it wasn’t always this way. Because there was a time of crisis in Jon’s martial career where he began to lose his edge.
As Jon tells it:
“I
had some success along the way winning more often than not and I
managed to rack up some state and national titles. But in the process I
was destroying my body. The natural resilience of youth can only go so
far. I began to notice that during my training I was becoming stiffer
and stiffer. I would wake up in the morning like the proverbial ‘Tin
Man’ with aching, tight muscles and creaking, rusty joints. I was
becoming a broken down horse.
This
constant state of deterioration was really driven home to me when new
students would come into class and naturally display more flexibility
and more mobility than my ‘professionally’ trained body. Can you imagine
the disgrace I felt as the ‘Master’? More like Master Tin Man.
There
comes a turning point in one’s life when you have a blinding flash of
the obvious and this was mine…what I was doing was not only not working
but I was actually sabotaging my own efforts in the name of
self-improvement.
So
I decided to take the bull by the horns. I needed better technology
than just toughness. Because Martial Arts was my profession, I was
unhindered by a ‘real’ job and able to dedicate the time needed to truly
become a ‘seeker of flexibility truth.’ I went to every stretching guru
or workshop I could find, no matter the expense or distance.

What did I discover?
"The flexibility world is running rampant with charlatans…”
|
That disappointment all changed however, when Jon Engum discovered the flexibility/mobility teachings of Pavel Tsatsouline.

The "magic oil" of Pavel's stretching wisdom seemed to almost instantaneously re-lubricate the creaking Martial Tin Man

Receive Jon's flexibility secrets, cues, short-cuts, progressions and MORE that will pay performance and safety dividends for the rest of your life.

“Tension and relaxation are the two sides of the performance coin.
Tension is strength and power. Relaxation is speed,endurance, and
flexibility. The martial arts and many sports demand both. An expert
punch stings out like a whip, the fighter’s body loose. But the moment
the fist connects the puncher’s body tenses like a statue. Speed got
backed up with power and mass. A blink of an eye later the fist is
relaxed again as it snaps back to the guard.” Pavel's RKC Manual, 23rd
Edition, page 13.

What They Say About Master SFG Jon Engum’s Flexibility Training:
“INSTANT FLEXIBILITY”
“I recently attended a flexibility
workshop with Sr. RKC Jon Engrum in Chicago. I have all of Pavel’s
materials on stretching, flexibility and rehab. I also have Beyond
Stretching. All of those are great, I have made good gains with them,
but it is still not like doing it in person and having someone correct
you on the finer points. I really did not know if I would get much out
of this class or not, but I was very impressed with Jon and the material
he taught.
I am glad that I attended. My
shoulder flexibility increased dramatically, hips got more loose and
unstuck, overall body range of motion increased easily.
Also at the end we really worked
hard on some hip mobility and my legs were shaking when the class was
over. I was not looking forward to a 6 hour drive home, but after some
water it was gone. The next day I felt good instead or sore.
Great experience and well worth attending. I will probably take another one of Jon’s classes in the future.”

“ONE OF THE BEST WORKSHOPS I’VE EVER ATTENDED”
I met Mr. Engum while assisting at
an HKC in Omaha, NE, and was absolutely blown away by the amount of
knowledge, professionalism, and in-depth knowledge and understanding Jon
brought to the event – and my expectations were already high! I watched
almost in disbelief as he turned relatively good kettlebellers into
outstanding kettlebellers in literally just a few short hours. Even as
someone who graduated from the RKC instructor course, I learned a
mountain of usable information about how better to teach the swing,
squat, and get-up.
But for me, by far the most impressive was his Extreme Flexibility workshop.
I am a pretty flexible and mobile guy as it is (I got a 20/21 FMS score
the first time I was examined and have been told by a physical
therapist that I have superior mobility), so I expected primarily to
pick up a few tips and tricks, but was absolutely stunned at the amount I
learned. I truly believe that his knowledge of the skills of
flexibility and mobility and their hows and whys is second to none.
This workshop was the
first time in the years since having read “Relax Into Stretch” that I
experienced any gains in flexibility, including the long-elusive full
side splits. But better than all the above is that the next
morning, I woke up without an ounce of pain in my shoulders and knees –
areas that have been plaguing me since the beginning of this year.
Physical therapy and numerous visits to the chiropractor took me far,
but Jon’s knowledge and teaching skill took me to the finish line.
If you ever get a chance to train with Jon, take it. His knowledge, professionalism, and superior teaching skills will make it one of the best decisions you’ll ever make in your training.

“IT’S IMPROVED MY FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, AND STAMINA”
I can’t speak highly enough about
Jon Engum’s kettlebell training. I’ve been taking classes for years and
have shown consistent improvement. Everything single technique and
exercise has improved. Heavier weights. Better range of motion.
Increased stamina. More reps. Higher ladders. It’s all there. It’s
improved my flexibility, strength and stamina and it’s really paid off
in my taekwondo training.
Jon’s teaching technique is proven and solid. Just attend a class and watch doubters walk away confident and eager for more.
It’s always a challenge and always productive. Simply the best workout I’ve ever had.

“INCREASING MY RANGE OF MOVEMENT AND STRETCHING TO PREVENT INJURIES”
I had the pleasure of taking Mr.
Engum’s Strength & Flexibility seminar this past weekend here in NYC
atFivePointsAcademy- it was a fascinating, super-educational afternoon,
and Mr. Engum himself was a terrific instructor.
|
Any two or three of the
stretches and fixes he showed our group would have been worth the price
of admission, and he showed us dozens. As an intermediate
jiujitsu player and novice Thai boxer, I was especially interested in
increasing my range of movement and stretching to prevent training
injuries, and I got all that and more from Mr. Engum.
He covered a huge amount of
information with thoroughness and good humor, and managed to give each
participant some personal attention and adjustment to suit their
particular capabilities and concerns. All in all, a terrific seminar!

"FLEXIBLE STEEL TURNED BACK TIME"
When Jon Engum presented this material in a workshop, I had two
questions: 1) Can I get my kicks back and 2) would I be able to see the
return of a split. The answer was yes and yes on both counts. The
drills presented in this book will get your flexibility goals in an
insanely fast period of time. With my background in Chiropractic, I
have seen many different flexibility modalities and Jon has taken these
principles and made them accessible for everyone. If you work on the
program as laid out you will improve. PERIOD. And even better...Master
Engum isn't just peddling theory..He is a living breathing example that
this system works and he also has a growing list of students to prove
it. Don't take my word for it however. Practice the drills and
convince yourselves that Flexible Steel is a gold mine for your
flexibility training.

“THE RESULTS WERE INSTANT”
I just attended Jon Engum’s
Extreme Flexibility Workshop inChicagoand was more than impressed, yet
again, with Mr. Engum’s instruction, knowledge, and methodology.
My flexibility training had hit a
wall, but Mr. Engum provided every student with the tools and techniques
to not only improve one’s flexibility, but to increase it dramatically.
The results were instant. This workshop is absolutely critical to
anyone interested in improving their level of fitness.

“I USED TO DREAD FLEXIBILITY TRAINING”
In the few short weeks since Jon’s
flexibility workshop I have made great progress in my flexibility
training. I used to dread the flexibility part of my training because I
was tight and I never seemed to make progress.
I now look forward to my flexibility training because I am making real progress applying the skills I learned at the workshop!
Jon has developed a frog
progression that is very challenging, but when practiced over the span
of the last few weeks I can feel a difference in the way my hips move.
It is easier to get in proper deadlift and swing position!
Jon is a great communicator with a
fun, enthusiastic teaching style. It is obvious Jon loves what he does!
I make it point to learn from Jon whenever I have the opportunity.

“PRESEMINAR SPLITS WERE MORE THAN 10″ FROM THE GROUND VS. IN THE SEMINAR I GOT ABOUT 2″ FROM A FULL SPLITS”
Jon Engum’s Instant Flexibility
& Joint Mobility Seminar was incredible. Jon is a captivating,
personable, educated instructor. He will leave you with excellent
information to improve your performance in your sport. Jon is
enthusiastic about teaching the exercise techniques, skills and drills.
Jon is also eager to sharing the science behind the extreme exercise
training. I learned how to take my parking brakes off and achieve
greater athletic performance during the seminar.
Pre-seminar splits were more than
10″ from the ground vs. in the seminar I got about 2″ from a full
splits…awesome! Once you take Jon’s seminar, you will understand why
it’s called extreme training. But, you will appreciate Jon’s seminar so
much, that you will be asking for more! Thanks Jon!

“WATCH MASTER JOHN [SIC] INSTANTLY PRODUCE RESULTS”
Just attending a one-day seminar
with Master John I was able to break through my flexibility plateaus and
gain real, usable mobility. After three years of training Tae Kwon Do
and feeling frustrated with my slow flexibility progress, it was really
incredible to watch Master John [sic] instantly produce results and to
feel results for myself.
