Last year I had the privilege of taking a trip to Hunter Army Airfield with Coach Scott Sonnon to teach the TACFIT system to members of the160th SOAR, a.k.a. The Night Stalkers. The 160th is most elite helicopter unit in any military. They have the responsibility of flying the most dangerous missions, often in the middle of the night, which is how they earned the name. When Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers and Delta Force units are on the job, they are often inserted or extracted by the men of the 160th. One of the most famous incidents that the Night Stalkers were involved in was made into a blockbuster movie called “Black Hawk Down.” More recently, they were involved in Operation Neptune Spear which resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden.

Combat shooting calls upon a multitude of interconnected psychological and physical skills and attributes. Theoretical work and intimate familiarity with the weapon platform, movement practice with a “dry” weapon, “live” fire drills and scenario training with simunition rounds, and psychological work are all paramount to a shooter’s development and cannot be overlooked, however, breathing skills and a good conditioning platform are what provide shooters with a solid foundation and allow them to put these skills together in harsh conditions under duress.

Tom Furman, increase body durabilityBack in the seventies in Pittsburgh, I listened to a Steelers' game. The announcers said that "playing injured," was part of the game. In other words, damaging your body forever was the price to pay for winning football. I understood the reality, but in my mind, I hoped there was a better way. I'm not sure there is, but I believe the following is a step in the right direction.

People choose to follow certain regimes based on big goals such as losing weight, improving aerobic capacity and increasing muscle mass. While these are all worthwhile goals, they introduce most people (especially beginners) to a whole host of problems. Even taking aerobic capacity as an individual goal - there are literally hundreds of different protocols to follow, most of them with "scientific evidence" to back them up. To say that fitness and exercise can be a minefield is an understatement.
