I saw you site a year or so back after you went to wildfitness. I have read Forenchichs books and found the work of George Herbert. Thanks you for your inspiration and uncovering a path.

Michael, feel entirely FREE to use these few tips. They just represent a extremely light insight in the overall MovNat practice.

There is no copyright whatsoever when it comes to the freedom to move naturally. No sport, no method, no concept owns anything about movement, not even MovNat. It is universal and is the property of the human species as a whole.
So if I inspire people to move again and to move the way they are designed to move, it makes me more than happy!
Now what is intellectual property and trademarked is the MovNat Natural Movement Coaching System, which itself is not something natural like you could pick up a ripe fruit on a tree, but the outcome of a human design, in this particular case designed to help people develop, restore or maintain their natural movement abilities in a broader, faster and safer manner.
So THAT, along with whatever text content is part of the MovNat program, is what is legitimately protected by means of trademark or copyright so that no one can commercially exploit this name, concept or material.
There are a specific design and content that is the outcome of a hard work, and a specific purpose that is the outcome of particular philosophy and values, and I guess anyone can respect that.

On a side note, when thinking of MovNat, it is best to think “natural movement” not “fitness”, “education” not “sport” and maybe “lifestyle” not “latest trend”.

Cheers!

Hey Maggie, it is good to hear, I get many emails from people that want to say thanks for the inspiration and new freedom and horizons and it really touches me always.

49? Means you can enjoy another half century of exuberant locomotion!

Hey Erwin I got a question. I have been inspired by movnat to re-invent training in my mind. I play all sorts of sports from tennis to boxing to rugby. Every summer i get a core groupe of people who train with me to do all sorts of crazy stuff in the summer (racing with parachuts, fireman carry up hills).
I read your article in mens health, I am going to use the example workout provided. My question is, is there any infringment, or copywrite or grounds i would cross if I modified and some movnat ideas to fit a summer training program? I just don’t want to hurt anyones feelings or do something illegal.

Itacare, here i come! a few years ago, I was so unfit, I couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs. Now, I box, swim in the warm ocean waters, do kettle bells, run and love every minute of it. I’m excited, at the age of 49, to find I have a lifetime of fitness ahead of me that is fun, not boring gym stuff. When I return home from my second home in Africa, i head out the door to the meadows and forests behind my home in Vermont near the Canadian border. I run, i jump, I skip, I climb trees. i have learned to love life again, and, unless the weather is very cold, do everything I can to move like nature intended me to move, barefoot (or almost!) and free. Thank you, Erwan. You’ve helped so many of us find freedom in our bodies, and FUN. And fun is missing in a lot of people’s lives there days.

See you in Itacare! Hope you can handle a 49 year old woman who, sometimes,isn’t at the front of the pack but is the most enthusiastic of the bunch!

I look forward to seeing MovNat spread far. Its already going places. The buzz around your work is building. Its wonderful.

All the best for your continued success!

Hey Maggie, Joash is not forgotten and neither is Anton! Both were naturally talented guys with lots of raw energy.
Joash survived, I didn’t push too much .
Watamu is indeed a magical place, but my place in Itacare…well, come one day and “feel” how powerful the vibes can be when you find the energy of the ocean and the energy of the jungle together in one place!

Warm regards,

Erwan

Don’t forget Joash Akwiry, an amazing native Kenyan trainer at Wildfitness who was also certified! Joash recently emailed me and told me how much he learned, and how difficult it was. you make this look so easy, Erwan! Look forward to attending one of your own programs someday, myself, and maybe to see you back in Watamu again? Watamu’s my second home. Hope you find a place equally as magical in the USA.

Jonathan, yes, Wildfitness has several MovNat level 1 certified coaches now so they are implementing the NMCS principles and techniques and will very soon start training their clients the MovNat style.

The certifications will be held in the USA where we are planning on opening an indoors/outdoors facility next year.

The duration of a level 1 certification course is indeed about 6 days and there is no way this can be compressed into a shorter event.

All people that have filled out the certification form will be sent a newsletter with all necessary information about the certification courses only when everything is set to welcome them.
This process cannot be rushed as it all requires structure and organization, plus moving to a different country.

Thanks

Very interesting… I’ve heard of Wildfitness before and had thought it seemed similar to MovNat.

Do you have any plans to hold certifications in Europe? Possibly you could hold it at the Wildfitness camp in Crete? But then again, maybe Brazil would be best….a bit more wild….natural

What will the cost be approximately for the USA/Brazil certifications and how long is the course e.g. 1 week??

Also, if I was to arrange a training week with Wildfitness – have you approved them to teach MovNat?

Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to one of your certifications in 2010.

Thanks
