Never Quit Stretching!
Now You Can Do It With Us...
- Basketball Court Yoga -
Simply put, get across a basketball court only using yoga poses, stretches, and other movements.
We do this 20-30-minute stretch series immediately following a mobility day. Now, you can train alongside Stew Smith, Tactical Fitness Coach, in “Never Quit Stretching Video.” I am not kidding when I say that Mobility Day, plus this video series, is life-changing. If you are an OG like me, walking around with no pain is a blessing. If you are a young spec ops candidate working hard to improve your swimming (streamline position/posture, tread/kick/pull with full range of motion) and help you reduce overuse injuries while running, check this out!
Tight shoulders will prevent you from achieving a good, streamlined position.
In tactical fitness training, the immobility of multiple joints often prevents you from swimming quickly (due to tight shoulders/streamline), treading water with no hands (resulting from tight hips, knees, and ankles), and moving quickly through obstacles, while also providing benefits such as relief from shin splints, among others. That’s why we've crafted this one-of-a-kind training video specifically for athletes like you who aspire to the elite ranks of special ops or OGs who need to improve mobility as well.
Stew Smith, known for his 25 years of experience training special ops athletes and individuals of his age or older, delivers an easy-to-follow stretching routine that meticulously targets the hips, knees, ankles, and shoulders. The result? You maximize your performance and recovery by enhancing your efficiency both in water and on land, ensuring full movement without compromising your fitness goals.

Core Mission
-
Tactical Fitness Training For the Candidate / Recruit: Specializing in preparing individuals for military, special ops, law enforcement, and firefighter selection programs (getting you "TO and THROUGH" training).
-
Functional Training for Both Active Duty / Recruits: Utilizing a seasonal tactical fitness periodization system that balances longer workouts of running/rucking, swimming, and calisthenics during the Spring/Summer when days are longer. Then, the focus shifts in the Fall/Winter to lifting (Cals/cardio maintenance) when the days are shorter/colder. This process has 25 years of proven success building tactical athletes who improve in all areas of fitness: strength, power, speed, agility, endurance, muscle stamina, mobility, flexibility, and grip.

- Becoming an Asset for All Types: Even non-tactical athletes want to be of use in situations that require some level of fitness to get through the day. Be an asset, not a liability, in potentially dangerous situations, whether natural or man-made. Fitness can be a common denominator in successfully enduring life-or-death scenarios.

Where to Find More Information About Optimal Performance Training Programs
When you start training again, consider the seasonal tactical fitness model. I call it A WAY to train and obviously not the only way to train. But it offers the opportunity to never neglect your weaknesses, improves flexibility and mobility, and puts you at a level of physical ability where you are happy with your overall ability to do just about anything. We have a system where the seasons dictate our training. When it is nicer outside, we tend to run and do more calisthenics. When it is colder and not so nice, we lift more, run less, and still maintain our outdoor activities with shorter runs and rucks. Check it out: Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization System.
