Episode 6 is now available for your downloading & listening
pleasure, below. This week, we are joined by our guest Nate
Morrison (http://morrison-industries.com).
For over a decade Nate Morrison has
been leading the fight to dramatically reform and redefine military
and tactical fitness. He was the first to introduce kettlebells to
the military and wider tactical community and even deployed with
them to Afghanistan and Iraq before most people had even heard of
them.
His first book, “Military
Fitness: A Manual of Special Physical Training” was
literally the first to address the issue of military fitness from a
comprehensive and sports science point of view outside of Russia
and the Warsaw Pact nations. He continues to be the only person in
the USA to apply actual sports science, neurology and endocrinology
to training programs with great success..
