Fifteen years ago, I received a phone call from an Italian bodyguard who was moving to USA. Ironically, I had just launched a start-up company with my business partner, Nikolay Travkin, that same year. The bodyguard and I discussed many issues, but in particular, how to provide a fitness platform which would give people the “fighterʼs shape” without the physical hardships of actual combat.

The discussion brought a concept to light, which to my knowledge, hadnʼt been addressed before. Fifteen years later, the “primal movement” has erupted across the fitness industry, and many disciplines espouse the belief that how we were evolved to move gives us optimal fitness. But few experts actually present a rational theory as to how our movement evolved.

Neuroscientist and TED keynote speaker Daniel Wolpert, Ph.D. asserts, “our brains evolved for one reason, and one reason only: to produce adaptable and complex movement.” All activities, from feelings to thoughts to communication are physical actions designed to drive or suppress future movements.

Therefore, exercising with “adaptable and complex movements” becomes a compelling, rational argument for an evolutionary approach to fitness. As we were genetically designed for our Paleo hunting and gathering, our brains evolved specifically to enable the adaptable and complex movements which we find in our ancient and modern martial arts, as well as through tribal dance expressions such as b-boy breakdance and urban “locomotive” disciplines like Parkour.

Allow me to state this concept simply as this: how we were designed to survive is precisely how we have evolved to thrive. If you want to excel in your fitness, you must tap deep into your genetic makeup, into the “symbols” as Joseph Campbell describes, or the “archetypes” of Jungian psychology.

“Tactical” fitness, or “movement which derives from and supports our primal heritage” allows you to: Move to Survive so you become Fit to Thrive.

The bodyguard, Alberto Gallazzi, and I continued this discussion for all those years, and eventually came to work together on the distillation of that early conversation in TACFIT.
You see, this is a very long project development arriving here, today, with TACFIT Survival.

Along these 15 years, weʼve focused on one key ingredient which had been missing from most fitness approaches: incremental progression [of adaptable and complex movement. How do you begin with the simple and move to the complex in such a way that it never frustrates, confuses or halts progress? The TACFIT suite of programs has shown the public my formula for breaking down movements into their simplest components, and building them step-by-step in an errorless process.

TACFIT Survival is Alberto Gallazziʼs expression of this work, and this 15 year friendship he and I have had. I can speak about Alberto in a way that he cannot, so I want to share with you why I believe you should consider listening to his insights into peak human performance.

Besides his incredible pedigree of practical application training special operations teams around the world, as well as his service as an airborne commando in the Italian special forces, he has protected some of the worldʼs most targeted individuals such as the Italian Prime Ministerʼs family, George Clooney, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Victoria Beckham.

When you have very limited time, standing very long hours at post protecting high profile clientele, you cannot afford superfluous training. Your training must be laser precise, time-efficient, and involve accelerated recovery. If youʼre beaten up, riddled with aches and pains, and unable to move with grace and power, then your by definition practice “un-fitness.” Most approaches, Alberto found, are unfit exercise.

Due to his background, Alberto found himself traveling around the world training TACFIT: throughout the Middle East, across the European Union, into Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia, as well as highly metropolitan cities in North, Central and South America. He has introduced this to other units and personnel more than any other individual in the world, even myself.

One country in particular, Israel, has adopted TACFIT into their secret training facilities, where Alberto became one of the few outsiders in the world to teach. Having studied various forms of Krav Maga for many years, Alberto won the world championships in Hisardut, also known as “Survival” Jiujitsu, under the original founder Dr. Dennis Hanover.

To support his training of this powerful, practical martial art, Alberto asked me if he could create a TACFIT protocol to prepare him for the techniques and tactics in Hisardut. Naming it “TACFIT Survival” - he has created one of the most consolidated, time- efficient, and practical exercise approaches I have ever had the honor of awarding the TACFIT chevron.

I feel quite privileged to call Alberto my brother. And he and I have traveled the world together training different outfits of every imaginable kind using TACFIT. I trusted him to distill the essence of Survival into this course, and that confidence was well-earned.

This course began 15 years ago, when two martial artists began discussing a concept so controversial that the science didnʼt release until a couple years ago. But we believed so strongly in it, that we invested our individual careers developing together. And now, we have teamed up to share with you the end result of those many years...

Please allow me to introduce you to TACFIT Survival!

"Coaches Sonnon and Alberto Gallazzi really have a winner on their hands with Tacfit Survival. The level of sophistication this program offers is hard to come by. The movements not only challenged me physically, but I could literally feel my neurons venturing into uncharted territory, forging new pathways as they merged brain and body while I completed the seminar. Now a day it is commonplace to find a workout that leaves one beat-down and broken on the floor with little or no benefits to anything besides ones ego. Tacfit Survival kicks the entire system into high gear as it fine-tunes the mind and body for optimum performance. With Tacfit Survival, I truly feel we now have a workout that not only makes one stronger, but also makes one smarter. Now that’s what I call efficient!"
Emily Larson, CST Head Coach

"My name is Marco Montesi, I work in a financial company and I’m a not professional motocross rider. I started training with Alberto Gallazzi one year and a half ago. Thanks to his method and motivation that he is able to infuse I ‘ve shaped my body (14 kg less) and my mind and I've found significant benefits in both personal and sport life. Training sessions with the Tacfit Survival method always impose me to give my own best, teaching me, at the same time, that my limits can be overcome with determination and perseverance in training.
Thanks Alberto!"
Marco Montesi

"Thanks to Alberto I knew TACFIT five years ago. From that day, my revolution in training started! Day after day Alberto sustained me with his knowledge, determination and motivation. I trained myself from Tacfit Commando up to Tacfit Survival: always Alberto stayed by my side and gave me the best technical support and the strongest personal motivation. If today I'm a Tacfit field instructor and everyday I'm trying to improve my power, stamina and recovery abilities is only thanks to my preferred coach! To train with the best is the hardest way to become better."

It is difficult to find a person like Head Coach Alberto Gallazzi. His humility and sense of honor reflect his way of life! Not too many professionals out there can count on those qualities. He.'s an athlete and a master with huge experience in both civil combat and military tactics applications. I think his new program Tacfit Survival it's what an operator need in order to goes under tests physically and mentally ..it's hard but very efficient with huge results. I used to test and train my soldier and the value of this program has not equal.
