THE NATURAL TRAINING
for a physical revolution

« LA VRAIE FORCE RÉSIDE NON PAS SEULEMENT DANS LES MUSCLES, LE SOUFFLE, L’ADRESSE... MAIS AVANT TOUT DANS L’ÉNERGIE QUI L’UTILISE, LA VOLONTÉ QUI LA DIRIGE, OU LE SENTIMENT QUI LA GUIDE. »

Georges HÉBERT 1875-1957

NATURAL TRAINING

Find your true nature

ÊTRE FORT POUR ÊTRE UTILE A SOI-MÊME ET AUX AUTRES

Beyond a simple physical practice, hebertism is articulated at the crossroads of three specific but closely related and inseparable cultures:
Culture of the body, Culture of action, Ethical culture

Develop your body           Strengthen your mind           Cultivate your ethics

The Natural Training:
three-dimensional training

PHYSICAL


Use natural human gestures, i.e. walking, running, jumping, climbing, throwing, carrying, etc.

Thus ensuring an integral and harmonious physical development.

Practice outdoors to enjoy the benefits of the natural elements, air, water and sun as well as nature itself.

MENTAL


Develop energy, courage, will, coolness, firmness and other qualities of action, by confronting real difficulties.


So many valuable qualities both in daily life and
when faced with dangerous or even dramatic situations.

SOCIAL


Since force can serve evil, an ethic must govern the use of acquired force.

This ethic will consist in being able to put one’s own physical capacities and actions at the service of others.

Going beyond mere physical culture, will make it possible to claim a real education.

NATURAL TRAINING

Nature as a guide

Jumping, running, climbing, lifting, throwing… Our ancestors, but also our children, develop instinctively through these natural movements. Their goal: to become a strong and efficient human being.

Our body and our brain have evolved through and for movement, in a complex natural environment. Our development will be optimal if we cultivate this capacity.

At the time of aesthetic fitness, performance sport, and air-conditioned rooms, we offer you another way of seeing physical training:

Move naturally, develop your potential, get closer to nature and YOUR nature.

NATURAL TRAINING

The method

Let’s be clear, it is not a question of a return to the wild life, but of finding a physical activity adapted to our nature, oriented towards practical and useful efficiency.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a naval officer noted that many « primitive » peoples had higher physical performance than his soldiers. He proposed to replace bodybuilding and Swedish gymnastics with more natural gestures close to their concrete needs.

From the army, he then adapted his method to the general public.

His name: Georges Hébert

His ambition: That each and everyone finds his full physical potential.

His method: Use natural, useful, effective gestures for optimal development. In a word: rediscover our own nature. It is the origin of the principles of modern functional training.

Georges Hébert called it the “Natural Method”, posterity also called it “Hébert Method” or “Hébertisme”.

We call it today THE NATURAL TRAINING
