Welcome to Warrior Fitness!

Dear Friend,

My name is Jon Haas. I’m the founder of Warrior Fitness Training Systems, as well as a certified Underground Strength Coach-Level 2, 9th dan Black belt in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, and a certified Personal Trainer and FMS.

I have spent over 30 years – a lifetime – training, studying and working with the best in the areas of martial arts and strength and conditioning to figure out how to reverse engineer the ultimate in human performance for martial art, combat sport, and living a powerful, healthy warrior lifestyle. The goal of my teaching has always been to help as many people as possible reveal their full capacity as human beings while living a strong, happy, and pain-free life.

Back in 2008 I wrote the book, Warrior Fitness: Conditioning for Martial Arts. It was a huge hit and helped martial artists across the globe upgrade their health, strength, and performance for martial arts. But I wasn’t satisfied with it…

Since then I have been working harder than ever to refine my understanding, improve my system, and clarify my communication to bring you the best possible training programs for building superior strength, flexibility, and whole-body power and pain-free movement for ALL people across all walks of life!

Beginnings

The idea for Warrior Fitness, as it exists today, began back in 2004 while I was working as a business consultant in the financial services industry.  The job involved about 80% travel and we usually worked 10-12 hour days, long after the client had left for the day.  Since most of the work involved sitting in front of a computer, or in meetings, for long stretches at a time and eating out on a daily basis, I began to put on a little weight and develop low back and neck pain (Read – How I Healed My Neck Pain with Mobility and Breathing) I realized that I needed to do something to help compensate for the periods of inactivity, but long workouts simply did not lend themselves to such crazy work hours.  I began to formulate brief, yet intense workouts in my hotel room using just my bodyweight and usually a chair or two.  After discovering kettlebells, I usually brought one along in the trunk of my car as long as the client was in driving distance.  Daily joint mobility work helped to keep all my joints lubricated and using yoga asana (postures) after workouts, or as a low intensity workout of their own, helped to abate muscle soreness and compensate for the training, as well as for the hours of inactivity at work.

In 2004, I became certified as a Circular Strength Training Coach under Scott Sonnon.  I left the organization in 2006 as my certification expired to walk my own path and work to create Warrior Fitness Training Systems.

As my ideas gradually formulated, and the resulting benefits increased, I began to share my fitness and conditioning discoveries with friends, co-workers, family, and students.  My knowledge and experienced deepened as I read books and articles on sports science, experimented with fitness protocols, and applied these on both self and others.  My book, Warrior Fitness: Conditioning for Martial Arts, was published in 2008 as the culmination of my experiences at the time.

In 2011, looking to once again broaden my knowledge and experience in strength & conditioning, I became certified as an Underground Strength Coach under Zach Even-Esh.  You can read about my first Underground Strength Coach Certification HERE.
