Coach's Story

-The Brief-

Kwey! (Algonquin for 'Hello') I am Coach Ahanu Waters, and I want you to achieve the potential residing beyond your current capacity- regarding physical ability, structural balance, and foundational fitness aptitude. 

 

-The Bag-

As a Refuge Medical Community Training Partner, a Recognized Educational Partner of the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care, (and a former EMT-B), I can help you to better understand, navigate, & use an IFAK, guided by the principles of the sMARCH-E algorithm- in everyday life up to and including unexpected catastrophes and violent encounters. With this algorithm & fluency with the IFAK interventions, I am excited to equip you to Be Your Own First Responder!


-The Balance-

As an over-fifty mobility athlete and avid participant in demanding physical challenges and long-form training evolutions, I have found the Athletic Truth Group's philosophy and approach to extreme range strength and structural balance remodeling and rewiring to be the Rosetta Stone to overcoming imbalance-triggered injuries (3 knee surgeries, 1 Achilles rupture, shoulder, and elbow challenges) - with levels of strength and mobility that I haven't had since grade school! After one year following ATG, I became pain-free and stronger throughout far deeper, childlike ranges of motion. 

I am also a Foundation Training Student Instructor. Foundation Training emphasizes Decompression Breathing, pelvic anchoring, and the corresponding muscle development and postural reprogramming that enable them. The goals are to counteract the negative effects of modern lifestyles, such as poor posture and muscle imbalances caused by sitting for extended periods and hunching over devices ('complacent adaptations'), to ensure peak performance, and elevate quality of life.     This is an outstanding modality for self-actualized, pain free, joyful living and performance.   Pursue freedom from pain.

Maximize the signal while minimizing the wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out to ahanu@thefossorial.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

From the Latin 'fossor' meaning digger. One that is primarily adapted to digging and which lives primarily (but not solely) underground. The honey badger being a prime example, and a model of our ethos- balance, strength, and a relentless will.


The Fossorial Co. started in an underground basement. 


We train to remain humble, balanced, and 'underground' in our proficiencies and development, while able to immediately dig into focused and deliberate response-capability and performance.  How aligned is your posture, your breathing, and your structural balance so as to maximize your mobility, flexibility, stability, and thus response-capability? Are YOU on course to dig in? Are you willing to Be Your Own First Responder?


This is a practice not a terminus...

Ahanu is an Anishinaabe/Algonquin word meaning 'he laughs'. 

At The Fossorial Co., we will often use the term Self-Preservation as a catch all to include balanced fitness, and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care. 




At The Fossorial Co., we align to the definition of 'Exercise' as produced by Ken Hutchins-

"Exercise is a process whereby the body performs work of a demanding nature, in accordance with muscle and joint function, in a clinically controlled environment, within the constraints of safety, meaningfully loading the muscular structures to inroad their strength levels to stimulate a growth mechanism within minimum time."  Exercise vs. Recreation by Ken Hutchins


Though Mr. Hutchins has a far more strict definition for a 'clinically controlled environment', we feel as though presence fosters focus, learning, retention, and consistency. We do not train with music, guests, pets, or extraneous noise and activity as a standard.

What are the benefits of optimizied posture, complete and natural muscle recruitment in breathing, and strength via structural balance throughout extreme ranges of motion?


Who can respond faster than YOU as your own 'first responder'?
