David Weck is a fitness innovator, biomechanist, and a world-class performance coach to professional athletes worldwide. He has worked with elite grapplers like Jordan Burroughs and Xande Ribeiro, and is a BJJ blue belt himself.
His methods of the coiling core, rotational movement training, and bilateral torsion training are based on the understanding of the Spinal Engine Theory.
This theory poses that movement originates in the core. The core is what powers humans forward through space. The standing belief amongst the greater fitness industry is that the core mainly transfers force, and its primary function is to resist rotation.
David believes this “braced core” model is the cause of increases in non-contact sports injuries, and robs athletes of power, strength, and durability. His methods, in contrast, develop pure athletic ability, including strength, speed, power, and longevity.
