Seminar Curriculum

Hey!

With the release of the foundation and handstand series, I am curious about the other topics that are discussed at the seminar beyond the courses.  I see the benefits of attending in terms of being able to train and learn directly from coach and everyone else there, just wondering about the subject matter and information!

Thanks!

Curriculum info is listed inter the seminar information in the products section.

By the descriptions on the page, it sounds like it's going to be mostly the same stuff, but more hands on, I guess. Plus Rings. You need to own both F1 and H1 to attend too, it seems.

Reading the seminar descriptions I'm not sure what lead you to this conclusion. It looks to me like the seminar material will be self-contained.

It does mention (at the very top)

Course Text: Foundation One, Handstand One (Please purchase separately)

Hmm I'm not sure now that I think of it. I read "Course Texts: H1, F1 (Please purchase separately)" and my immediate impression of it was that it was somewhat like a short university course, i.e. F1 and H1 will be assumed/prerequired knowledge they'll be referring to and perhaps building on.

That was my initial assumption anyway; it may well not be the case. I figured why else mention them in the description at all.

Oh I see that now. Somehow I missed it earlier. 

Yes, F1 and H1 are required materials. We have found that attendees having prior access to the material saves an enormous amount of time in the seminars. Time that can now be used for training, answering relevant questions etc.

In general this will make the content of the seminar far clearer than ever before.

There is absolutely no substitute for being able to work with a real coach and being in a group of like minded peers. Attending the seminars can make a huge difference in one's comprehension of the programs and well as revealing training defects (or strengths) that just go unnoticed training alone.

Finally, the GB community is always fantastic and this is a great opportunity to meet some very interesting people and make new friends and contacts.

If you show up without the required materials, there are only two possible scenarios:

1) You have absolutely no idea what anything means, and spend the entire time trying to write things down, missing the important parts of instruction in the process.

2) In addition to #1, you actually start asking what everything is. Now all the attendees have wasted their money, because one person decided to take up 60% (or more) of the available seminar time by literally asking to be taught F1 and H1 by word of mouth.

As you can probably imagine, neither of those scenarios is an acceptable scenario. One is bad for you, the other is bad for you AND bad for everyone else.

Like Cole said, by having the actual training programs as required materials, we are able to spend a LOT more time with hands-on learning, and let's be real: Isn't that what we're all spending that money (and time) for?

People who have been to previous seminars will see just HOW much better things are, and those who attend their first seminar from this point forward may simply have a fantastic experience without realizing how good they actually have it

Seminars were always excellent, but now they are going to be absolutely invaluable.

Thanks for the responses!! 

Now time to train hard and save up!
