Erwan Le Corre (French pronunciation: [lɵ̞ kɔr]), born in France on September 10, 1971[1] is the founder and innovator of a physical education system and lifestyle[2] known as MovNat, which derives from the French words "mouvement naturel" ("natural movement").[3]
Early life and training
Erwan Le Corre grew up in the French village of Étréchy[4] , which is located in the countryside about 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of the center of Paris. As a child he spent his free time outdoors exploring and playing in the fields and woods around his village. His father encouraged this activity. At age 18, Le Corre received his black belt in karate. Starting at age 19 he did parkour-like training for 7 years with the Parisian stuntman Don Jean Haberey. During this period he also began barefoot running[5]. At age 27, he began a period of training which included sailing, Olympic weightlifting, rock climbing, long distance triathlon, trail running and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. [6]
Family status
Erwan Le Corre is married, with children[7]
Development of a system of natural movement
In 2004 Erwan Le Corre started researching the physical training method of the French naval officer Georges Hébert (born 1875; died 1957)[8]. The training developed by Hébert is known as "la méthode naturelle" ("natural method"). In 2008 Le Corre formally began his physical education system and lifestyle known as MovNat.[9] Erwan Le Corre began teaching his MovNat principles via weekend workshops and also weeklong outdoor retreats.[10]
Regarding the difference between Hébert's "méthode naturelle" and Le Corre's MovNat, Le Corre said that "the main difference resides in the coaching system, which has been updated. It is more elaborate and efficient in MovNat. It also has solid scientific backing. MovNat's philosophy is formulated to better fit with today using modern forms of communication, for instance video and the Internet."[11]
In 2009, Le Corre moved to the United States[12], and he is currently based in the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico.[13] In 2012 MovNat began holding courses to train and certify instructors in the MovNat method internationally.[14]
The method of MovNat
In a summary statement about the method of MovNat, Erwan Le Corre has written: "...MovNat, a school of physical competency [is] entirely based on natural movement, which includes locomotive skills of walking, running, balancing, crawling, jumping, climbing and swimming, the manipulative skills of lifting, carrying, throwing and catching, and the defensive skills of striking and grappling. The most important principles of natural movement are practicality and adaptability-- practicality because the movements are useful to real life in a direct, tangible fashion, and adaptability because natural movement demands high levels of adaptability to a great variety of environmental and situational demands."[15]
Iconic video of Erwan Le Corre
In the year 2008 Erwan Le Corre (MovNat) released an iconic video of himself moving through various scenes of nature. The title of the video is: "The Workout the World Forgot." The video is 3 minutes, 30 seconds in length. In the video there is no dialogue, nor ambient sounds from nature, but rather there is an instrumental music soundtrack. The opening scene shows Le Corre walking in a stream while carrying a log on his shoulder. The next scene shows him barefoot as he climbs up a pole-like tree. Among other movements, Le Corre is shown swimming, jumping and running barefoot. The filming took place on the island of Corsica, located in the Mediterranean Sea. The filmmaker was Timothy Kahn. The music track accompanying the video was by "Tryad," with two musical pieces: "Waltz into the Moonlight" and "I see."[16][17]
