What makes Taiso different from other training systems?

It’s simple. Taiso puts the athlete – and their nervous system – at the center of their training. When you understand modern neuroscience one thing becomes abundantly clear; lackluster performance is not a strength problem. Or a problem resolved through drills. Or resolved through better physical therapy, or stretching. It is not a mindset problem. Or a discipline problem. Or a motivation problem. All of these things are important, and all of them have their place. It is, fundamentally, a nervous system problem, and any deep, rapid performance improvement must begin there.

Three elements comprise Taiso Training:

• Efficient movement patterns. Movement is the fastest way to communicate with the nervous system. The movement tells your body where it is in space, how fast it is moving, and what movements are safe. By re-training and “waking up” these nerve endings, you can help your body get out of pain and perform at your true genetic potential.
• Sensory integration training. The nervous system needs accurate information from the visual, vestibular (balance and spatial orientation), and proprioceptive (brain’s 3D map of the body in space) systems, and their integration. Taiso optimizes all three systems for performance
• Addressing the whole person with continuous assessment. By applying the 9S Athletic Development Model to every client during every training session, you can be assured that you are getting EXACTLY what you need during that session. Only when joints, muscles, and other tissues are able to move in throughout full ranges of motion, pain-free, will the nervous system release the governor on your performance.  As you can see, at the center of our model is you – the athlete.

Quality over Quantity

We teach quality over quantity at Taiso. Easier said than done. Today, I was humbled trying to correct an ankle compensation so in the future I can run better, but for now that means limiting my running. This is especially challenging when I have a race next month and my ego says “run more,” but I know it’s important to fix the problem now then have a long term issue in the future. While this process can be slow and frustrating I am more determined than ever to fix my compensations so I can not only run but continually reach toward my best self. Being uncomfortable is sometimes the bravest thing you can do.
