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. Each person is different, so the exact same training program will help some people and break others. If a coach does not know this, or know what to do about it, the results can range from unexcitingly mediocre to disastrous. On the other hand, when coaches and athletes fully understand this model, becoming the athlete you have always known you could be is not only possible…it’s expected.
Taiso targets the nervous system in many different ways:
• Visual Skills Training
• Unique Balance Challenges
• Precise Mobility Work
• Non-Traditional Strength Training Exercises
• Sensory Integration Drills
• And many, many more
One thing that all of these approaches have in common is a persistent focus on novelty. Modern neuroscience tells us that the brain learns best when there is something new to learn. By varying the stimulus (which can be as dramatic as an entirely new movement or as subtle as a change in lighting) you get the nervous system’s attention. This allows us to use every training session as a “neural re-education experience” – leading to not only better movement, but more interesting and powerful training sessions.
