StickFit® is an evidence-based, whole body training exercise system of layered, integrated activities and techniques, in an aerobically sustained cardio-based format. The goal focus is to stimulate and improve cognitive brain function with multi-dimensional movements and skill patterns, core training and bodyweight exercises, all using rattan sticks as the tool for the entire workout, from start to finish. This neural-targeted workout design, along with the use of the sticks, is what differentiates StickFit® from any other program! We’ve put the Fun with StickFit® drills and skills back into Functional training. The proprietary StickFit® methodology is the future of contemporary exercise protocols, which targets training the brain as well as the body to enhance both getting more physically strong and brain healthy. 

The StickFit® program includes the following activities, intermixed in both a 60- and 45-minute format;
[1] double stick partner interaction drills
[2] solo single stick patterns
[3] StickBlitz™ (Filipino Fight Flow Drills)
[4] Footwork drills
[5] Bodyweight and core conditioning drills, and
[6] Metronome and Freestyle partner training. 

About the Sticks 

The sticks we use in StickFit® are based on the eclectic fighting sticks used in Filipino Martial Arts, which can be referred to as either, Kali, Arnis or Escrima. They are made from rattan, which is a vine grown in the tropics. To formulate the sticks, the rattan is hardened over fire, to the point where it can retain some flexibility and yet withstand impact. The stick is lightweight, but strong and durable. 

For StickFit®, we have made the sticks at 26 inches (normally 28 inches) and with a narrow circumference for an easier grip. Our sticks have also been further modified to suit our needs with grip handles attached for extra safety and various colored plastic shrink wrap applied at the main strike zone of the stick. These different colors, help in finessing hand-eye coordination of striking and also provides extra longevity of our sticks. 

What Makes Us Unique? 

• Utilize a Filipino rattan stick, based on indigenous, cultural Filipino martial art form they are known for. 
• Integrated multi-modality training, using the sticks for the entirety of the class, from Warm-up through Cool-down and all phases of movement skills.
• Simultaneous tactile partner strike interaction; at the same time, applying offensive and defensive moves.
• Create identifiable patterns from sounds of the stick.
• Connect various Metronome speeds to synchronize the timing of partner stick drills.
• Utilize peripheral vision effectively as a training mechanism when interacting with a partner, as you won’t have the time to always look at the sticks for every action. The eyes will focus on a central point to have more comprehensive vision.

Our Mission 

The StickFit® Training delivers an innovative neural-based group exercise program, on the cutting edge of introducing exercise-induced neurogenesis classes to the masses. This is a new and exciting opportunity for fitness professionals like you, seeking to be progressive with non-traditional, contemporary programming to expand your career into the future of fitness. 

Our global mission is to expand our reach with your help, to teach as many individuals as humanly possible, how they can be brain-fit at every age and not only retain brain function as we age, but continue to improve cognitive health. We do not have to buy into agedness and its debilitating effects on the brain. 

Our over-arching umbrella message is the brain has the capacity to grow and adapt with the right neurosensory stimulus. Our science-supported, contemporary, total body training protocols are based on fundamental, functional movement patterns that anyone can do to enhance being more ‘body and brain fit,’ regardless of age, gender or fitness level. 

Our Vision 

The StickFit® methodology was created with the purposeful vision to support every individual to increase their cognitive abilities, initiate physical fitness and emotional well-being for a healthier and fulfilling lifestyle. We aspire to introduce the Filipino culture through our classes, imparting their century’s old training tool, rattan sticks to the rest of the world, to those who are unfamiliar with their cognitive-building power, transforming lives by improving brain health every day! 

Our Philosophy | Our Belief 

We believe in the value of what the sticks can teach us! 

We believe at StickFit®, the right kind of exercise, in the appropriate dosage at a specific intensity, is nourishment for the brain to stimulate better cognitive function. Regular engagement in StickFit® classes delivers the ability to literally re-wire and transmute the brain through distinctive movement patterns using the sticks, coupled with multi-dimensional, dynamic exercises. 

This provides every individual with a new and unique kinesthetic awareness, a focused mindset to respond to reactionary brain re-setting, and the ability to equalize the use of both of the brain’s hemispheres to improve both physical and mental development. 

We believe cognitive transformation is in direct relationship to the STICKS
