“Scott Sonnon – Softwork 2005” is a training program that enhances physical performance through smooth, efficient movements. Developed by fitness expert Scott Sonnon, it focuses on joint health, flexibility, coordination, and balance.

The root words of competition mean “to seek together,” an opportunity to learn with the help of others. With Softwork, International Champion and U.S. National Coach Scott Sonnon provides a training approach that synergizes creativity in partner work and breaths fresh new life into effective martial practice.

Softwork is a culmination of many years of training and practical research on both sides of the planet. As a non-dogmatic, non-stylistic practice methodology, it challenges the martial enthusiast to explore and develop beyond the bounds of traditional expectations. Based upon anatomical fact and applied biomechanical principles, it serves as a performance diagnostic tool, a technical enhancement practice and an opportunity to supercharge attribute development with your partners. Filmed at the first Softwork seminar, this program unifies the many branches of previously-released RMAX FlowFighting Systems and Circular Strength Training programs.
