Vi har mistet en sand kriger, en vis underviser og helt et unikt og særligt menneske. Martin Brogaard gik bort tirsdag d. 21. juli.

For et år siden fik jeg den frygtelige besked om, at du havde fået konstateret uhelbredelig kræft i hjernen – stadie 4.

Jeg husker klart og tydeligt, at jeg havde været ude hele dagen og hike i Lofotens fjelde. Dagen efter holdt vi ind ved en hvid sandstrand og jeg ringede til dig – jeg kunne mærke, at der var noget galt. Du gav selv den rystende besked. Men selv der, midt i det hele, var du allerede i gang med at tænke på klubben, dine elever, hvad der skulle ske fremadrettet – helt klassisk dig! Pligtopfyldende, uanset hvad. Resten af turen i Norge var, trods fantastisk selskab og natur, et stort blur med en sten i maven.

We have lost a true warrior, a wise teacher, and a truly unique and special human being. Martin Brogaard passed away on Tuesday, July 21st.

A year ago, I received the terrible news that you had been diagnosed with incurable brain cancer – stage 4.

I remember clearly and vividly that I had spent the whole day hiking in the mountains of Lofoten. The next day, we stopped at a white sand beach, and I called you – I could sense something was wrong. You gave me the devastating news yourself. But even there, in the midst of it all, you were already thinking about the club, your students, what needed to happen going forward – classic you! Dutiful, no matter what. The rest of the trip in Norway was, despite wonderful company and nature, a blur, with a knot in my stomach.

Før jeg startede til Wan Kam Leung Wing Chun, var jeg en teenageknægt, der manglede retning, disciplin. Jeg var fyldt af vrede og var ligeglad med det meste. Intet fangede mig, og jeg kunne ikke tage noget seriøst. Fraværet i folkeskolen var højt, interessen lav, og jeg blev endda erklæret uegnet til gymnasiet. I dag står jeg med en kandidatgrad, som er bænket, fordi jeg i stedet har valgt at gøre det, jeg brænder mest for. At undervise folk i kampsport og funktionel styrketræning, som selvstændig træner. Ligesom du gjorde.

The mace swing isn’t just an exercise. It’s a lesson in how your body is designed to move.

Rotation. Counter-rotation. Force generated from the ground up — through your hips, your spine, your shoulders. One connected chain from foot to hand.
This is what the SAID principle looks like in practice: Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. Your body adapts to exactly what you train. Train rotation and force transmission through your full myofascial chain — and that’s what you get better at.

Train one muscle at a time, disconnected from the rest of your body — and you’ll build strength that doesn’t transfer to how you actually move.

We are built to stand, walk, run and throw. The mace swing trains the throw pattern — and everything connected to it.

Full breakdown in bio — check out the functional strength training series on the blog.

Still thinking about Thailand. Some trips stay with you longer than others. Part 2 — long overdue.

. Sessions with and .

If Bangkok was about control and distance — Phuket was about letting go.

The biggest lessons here weren’t about doing more. They were about doing less:

– Find the flow, don’t force it

– Relaxed body, relaxed mind — then switch on when it counts

– Rhythm over reaction

– New weapons, setups and strategy added to the arsenal

– Small technical refinements that change everything

There’s something about training with people at this level — they don’t just teach technique, they teach you how to feel movement differently.

The trip also gave me clear insight into what I still need to improve — both technically and biomechanically. Plenty of work ahead.

A lot to bring back and refine. From a biomechanics perspective, the work is showing — the ability to absorb, adapt and move with less resistance is exactly what the FP practice builds toward.

I used to teach HIIT and functional training at a yoga studio.
I also snuck Functional Patterns exercises into every session I could.

Here’s what I kept seeing: people stretching for years — still stiff, still in pain, still coming back for more relief on the mat. Even the teachers I worked alongside were dealing with chronic pain. One studio owner had already had a hip replacement — and was preparing for another. But yoga was still the answer they gave every new client who walked through the door.

The problem with passive stretching is that it tends to create more flexibility in the parts of the muscle or myofascial chain that are already flexible and well-hydrated. You’re not releasing what’s tight — you’re destabilising what’s already mobile. When the temporary relief fades, the tension returns. Often worse than before.

The fix isn’t more stretching. It’s two things:

1. Myofascial release — to mobilise and restore tissue quality in the connective tissue and musculature that is actually restricted, so it can move and glide properly again.

2. Build your training around the FP Big 4 — standing, walking, running, throwing. Because real flexibility is built through muscular activity and kinetic chains, not passive positioning.

A simple example: when your tricep contracts, your bicep lengthens and relaxes — and vice versa. Both movements build flexibility for their antagonist. That’s how your body is designed to work. The more your training respects that biological blueprint, the more functional flexibility you build.

Flexibility isn’t the goal. It’s the byproduct of training the right patterns.

Imagine training that doesn’t just make you stronger — but improves how your body actually functions.

Most athletes train hard. But weaknesses in your movement patterns limit your potential, increase injury risk, and lower your training intensity — no matter how much effort you put in.

If you’ve plateaued, it’s rarely a lack of work. It’s the pattern behind the work.

Through we train the body as one connected unit — addressing the root causes of pain, physical limitations, plateaus and suboptimal performance. We don’t chase symptoms. We find the source, fix the pattern, and level you up.
The athletes who keep progressing are the ones who address how their body organises itself. Not just how hard they push.

I work with people who are dealing with:
— Chronic pain that stops them living and performing at their best
— A feeling of weakness or imbalance affecting daily life
— A plateau they can’t seem to break through

Train smart enough to keep going. For years.

If that sounds like you — it’s time to try something different. Link in bio.

Does your shoulder click, crack or ache every time you train?

I’ve been there. I know the frustration of training through pain — and the moment it gets bad enough that you have to stop doing the things you love.

The first instinct is physio. I tried it too. But in my experience, it only ever treated the symptom. The shoulder kept coming back.

Because the shoulder isn’t an isolated problem. It’s a system problem. Until you address the root cause — the way your whole body organises itself around the shoulder — nothing sticks.

That’s the work I do. Build the foundation. Fix the pattern. Get full control and confidence back in your body. For good.

Get • From severe shoulder restriction and to almost full overhead range of motion, improved control and reduced pain and radiation.

Marco came in with significant shoulder mobility limitations and was unable to lift his arm in supination above horizontal without pain, restriction, and radiation into the cervical region. Symptoms had persisted for several years following calisthenics training and were impacting martial arts, strength training, and overall function. Previous interventions including physical therapy, osteopathy, and passive mobility work did not produce lasting changes.

He completed 11 Functional Patterns sessions over a 4-month period, following structured progression and consistent home exercises, while maintaining his martial arts and strength training.

BEFORE:
❌Shoulder pain (overhead, supinated): 8/10
❌Radiation into neck, arm, and occasionally hand
❌General upper body tension: 7/10
❌Limited overhead range of motion with poor scapulothoracic control

AFTER (11 sessions / 4 months):
✅Shoulder pain: 5/10
✅Radiation significantly reduced; now only present at end range
✅General tension: 4/10
✅Improved overhead range of motion, scapular control, and movement confidence

Intervention focused on integrating shoulder mechanics with thoracic positioning, ribcage control, and full-body coordination using Functional Patterns principles. Client maintained martial arts and strength training while applying FP concepts throughout the process.

OUTCOME: Clear improvement in mobility, delayed symptom onset deeper into range, and improved control of the shoulder complex under load.

FP approved Case study.

Part 1 — Thailand 🇹🇭

Bangkok entry. Straight to work.

Sessions at Yokkao Gym with Fasai, and then the chance to train with the legend Saenchai at Saenchai Deena Gym. Different level of timing, balance, and control—you don’t just see it, you feel it.

Big learning outcomes from these sessions:
– Patience over force
- refining strategy and setups
– Control of distance before attack
– Relaxation = speed
– Flow > power

This is what it’s about—refining the details, not just doing more.

Lots to take home and refine—technically, strategically, but also from a biomechanics perspective. I’ll be making adjustments to my FP practice to keep evolving my skillset.

What stood out the most is how much more accessible and fluid everything feels. The ability to absorb new movement, adapt quickly, and execute with better force transmission and coordination—this is where the work pays off.
