ABOUT
ME
Welcome to my World
I am an inquisitive, passionate, positive leaning person unimpressed with many things. A sigma male for sure..!
Born in 1964. An Italian/Welsh/English Taurus, with hazel eyes and small feet but also a prolific traditional pioneer climber who broke the grade E9 in 1986, has climbed E8 ground up and with a few extra strings to his bow; such as early natural parkour, cliff walking and thrown pottery.
Author and publisher of Full of Myself. Writer, co-director of Channel 4’s award winning boxing day dramadoc Stone Monkey and most to the point here: a highly experienced and rigorous coach of climbing movement and coordination in the raw.
Climbing has always been a mainstay of my life, rock climbing has been an ongoing curiosity since December 1978 when I first climbed slate at the now filled in Whitwick quarry in Leicestershire.
My coaching began in the early 90’s. The rudiments of how I made the most of grip and thwarted gravity transferred well. These days though the system is mature. I call it declumsification through frictioneering. Declumsification akin to a class, a cascade of coordination principles relevant for any activity are coached by specific exercises with measurable yardsticks, Frictioneering games follow. Open ended play with friction using suitable games allows what’s adrift to be gathered in.
It’s great fun I’m told and highly effective. People have never been stronger. This system is to help anyone make the very most of their strength yet also giving them new options in what, how and when to move.
