ABOUT THE AFFILIATION

Takano Weightlifting is very proud and excited to announce our Affiliation program. As a Takano Weightlifting Affiliate you will distinguish yourself in the market as a legitimate weightlifting gym providing top tier programming and coaching aimed at the highest standards created by Coach Takano.   The affiliation also  gives you access to the needed tools and business system developed and used by Takano Weightlifting HQ to successfully start and take your gym to the next level.  

 

The journey has been a long one.  It began as a not so stellar athlete and morphed into a more celebrated career as a coach.  The experience gained through coaching a number of top-ranked lifters has been combined with the tools developed from a forty year academic teaching career.  That combination has been put to good use teaching the performance and programming of the snatch and clean & jerk to audiences in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Iceland and Japan.  What has taken place is a gradual widening of efforts to discover more about the sport and benefits of weightlifting and to make that information available to more people. 
The next step is part of the logical progression. 
By establishing a network of affiliates, educating the coaching staffs at those affiliate gyms and encouraging the proper protocols for coaching the sport, my hope is that more and more enthusiasts will be exposed to the most effective methods for weightlifting development.  We are therefore establishing an affiliate program through which gym owners can operate a weightlifting club program that coaches athletes with the best methods available.  The affiliation will regularly provide programming information and guidelines for training while requiring standards for facilities and equipment.  The goal is quite simply to establish a network of weightlifting gyms that will provide quality coaching and training for weightlifting athletes and enthusiasts.  The overarching concept is to raise the quality of weightlifting and coaching overall.
