Tactical Gymnastics
The time period was just a short few months after 9/11 and its tragic consequences. The country and the athletes were still reeling from the effects of 9/11 and I felt compelled to do well/win.
In 2001 I enlisted your help in preparing me for the 2002 Pan American Championships in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
The other fire fighters that have embraced the TACFIT programs have had similar results. The multi-planar movements translate directly to the dynamic work fire fighters perform. I have recently been following the training protocol for Scott’s tactical gymnastics program. Movements that looked impossible for me are already feeling more fluid. Fire fighters often work low to the floor in high heat conditions. The ground-based movements featured in this program have enhanced my ability to move low to the floor.

Tactical Gymnastics prepares us to engage the ground, gives us the range of motion to move freely while being weighted down with gear, and provides the strength to handle the hose line and advance to the fire.
I’ve had the good fortune of working closely with Coach Sonnon and he has helped me recognize the importance of mastering the basics before advancing forward.
Through training we are removing the stiff joints, the muscle tension that restricts freedom of movement, and building the strength necessary to perform at our best while preventing injury.
I had been intrigued with your posts on the mma.tv website and after obtaining your grappler's toolbox, I pursued some advice concerning movement and breathing.
Once again you have brought cutting edge training to our instructors and deploying agents. The Air Interdiction and Marine Interdiction Agents have nothing but the highest praise. The agents have put effort into learning the skills embedded in TACFIT. Your focused work with our primary intermediate force instructor has paid dividends. The agents who spend the most time working TACFIT are able to rapidly learn skills. The skills presented have already been implemented into improving our counter assault, grappling and striking.
Nothing I have come across prepares us as operators better than Tactical Gymnastics. Thank you, my friend." Bruce Carleton EMT-P/Tactical Medic Portland Fire Department Portland, Maine "I have personally used variations of Scott Sonnon’s Tactical Gymnastics for the past six years with incredible results.
The movements made my ground work effortless and seamless, in a way I never learned through the normal bjj curriculum.
In every case I use your version of Tactical Conditioning and Tactical Gymnastics to train my students.
I could not have accomplished any of my achievements without your guidance and input. You never once charged me a penny, nor did he ever intimate I owed you anything other than my personal best.
His programs are designed to heal the athlete by mastering the basic moves first. He pushed me hard but kept me honest by not allowing me to move beyond what my form would allow. Once I became pain free and had trained my body to move through a new range he guided me down the accelerated path as I began to quickly adapt and move through the progressive steps towards mastery.
I’m quick to share this program with all of those I work with and would recommend it to anyone, regardless of their profession or athletic experience.
I find your approach without exception to work both in the competitive grappling arena, as well as the tactical environment me and my fellow SWAT team members operate in.
