The Passive Hang - Episode 07 - Allan Long: Health, Wealth and Self Expression

How do you teach movement to non-movement people? How do you make people “get it?” 

Just one of the questions we discuss at length in the latest episode of the Passive Hang! 

Allan (@trainawayyourpain) is a movement coach from Sydney, he operates out of the Jungle Brothers institution and also runs his own business, Train Away Your Pain. He has trained under the Ido Portal method and is currently studying the Fighting Monkey practice, and has a martial arts background. 

Allan used to be a financial advisor at one of the big banks, but made the switch into full time coaching. He shares the story of his transition - together with the struggles of using training as an escape to finding ways of explaining his knowledge to others. “Train Away Your Pain” tells his mission as it is, and it’s a reflection of Allan’s straight talking personality as he talks honestly about the realities of getting deep in the movement culture, devoting yourself to training, relating to non-movement people and also a rarely spoken about but extremely important item - sorting your finances. 

Allan is someone who has thought a lot about his purpose, the people he wants to help and how to communicate that to them. I think that’s really refreshing in a culture where “movement” struggles to find a definition and is for some, beyond definition.
