FILOSOPHY

THE PHILOSOPHY OF
'POTAMUS POWER
Ourselves, Our Bodies & Our Activities
SHIN GI TAI

The three pillars of sumo are shin-gi-tai, which translate as heart-technique-physique.
Heart - using the 1RM Project's Mission Statement to "do the most you can do," we will endeavor to push ourselves physically, spiritually and emotionally to be at our best day after day.
Technique - whether in the kitchen, at the piano, on the mat or anywhere else in your home, we’ll discuss and share ways to educate and advance our abilities.
Physique - our health & well-being are paramount to our happiness. Using unique methodologies, we’re developing a fitness program like no other to strengthen our bodies and spirit.
Our Interaction With Our Communities
ENCOURAGE INSPIRE SUPPORT

The Pasadena Performance Center was founded with these three simple words as its Mission Statement. The 1RM Project continues to embody that spirit as we, within each of our communities, must continue to Encourage one another to push themselves beyond perceived boundaries, Inspire one another to take chances and seek fulfillment and to Support one another every step of the way!
Our Role as Citizens of the World
TRUTH, JUSTICE & THE AMERICAN WAY
It is easy to look at this statement as an old fashioned notion from a bygone era ... but in this day and age it is perhaps more relevant than ever. But rather than worrying about fighting crime and outwitting master criminals, perhaps it is time to take this philosophy to heart in a more personal way and fight the never-ending battle for our own personal truth, continue to take righteous action to insure justice for our communities and loved ones and to give new credence to the adage that "all men are created equal."
