The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.

Never let schooling interfere with education

How many thinks that Colleges brainwashed our way of thinking?
Do colleges/universities teach us to be robots when we out in the real world?
Which seminar or clinic would you attend?
1. Someone with a bachelor degree that is speaking or someone with a PhD speaking?
2. Someone with a BS/BA degree with 15 years in their professional field or someone with a MS or PhD with 15 years in their collegiate world?
Who is more credible? or Who has more merit? Who will the Powers to Be listen to?
Never let the schooling of stupity interfere with education

Anonymous #3 has a good point. I've spent 25 yrs on the high school level for the most part. Turned down routinely to speak at our national meeting, in favor of J-Blow. I'm telling you Vern, they love guys who hopscotch from job to job and letter to letter. They even get free passes from peer review to publish their garbage in the research journals and write books.
Sad to say...it is J-Blow with all the letters, the guru, will be in favor over someone else who has 25 years of on the field experience.
As for research...RESEARCH...they can do all the research they want, but by the time the lab coats hollered, "Eureka", the pioneer will be blazing some other trails.
Joe P,
I would come listen to you anytime!
Lets not forget that just because someone reoirts experience that it means they learned anything or know what they are doing.
