If you have Warrior Fitness Training style questions, send them to me. I answer any and all serious (well, mostly serious) questions about training, my Warrior Fitness System, my views on fitness, martial arts, self defense, strength & conditioning, or training for sport/athletic performance.

Nobody would argue that to reach your true potential in a martial art or combat sport, you need to be accurate when executing a move. Whether you are attempting an arm-bar, single leg take-down or a punch to the face, you are going to suck if you don’t connect with your target where you want to. And while much practice in your chosen sport will go a long way to building this skill, there are extra things we can do to either catch up or put the icing on the cake, so to speak. Continue reading

This past Saturday I, along with my brother Dave and my brother-from-another-mother, Jason, ran the ultimate Adventure Race, the Tough Mudder! If you are not familiar with the Tough Mudder, let me explain. It is a 12 mile race with 25 military style obstacles between mile 1 and mile 12. Oh yeah, and lots and lots of mud! Continue reading
Sometimes it seems so easy to just give in, give up, and go along with the status quo. Such a relief to just let go and allow yourself to become that proverbial fat, dumb, and happy person.
Carving your own path can be too challenging and fraught with many risks and dangers.
Going with the flow, following the pack, doing what normal people do (whatever that is these days!), is so much less trying. Traveling the well worn path with the masses rather than the road less traveled makes so much more sense to most and requires so little thought and effort. It’s safe. The risks are minimal, the rewards are known. It’s a sure thing. Continue reading
Most days I love training. No secret there. But every once in a while, when I’m not quite feeling it, I catch myself looking for an excuse. At these times the flimsiest, lamest excuse will do. You know what I mean, right? The funny thing about excuses is that to someone outside looking in, they seem to be the most ridiculous and inane things, yet to we who are making them they seem to be perfectly logical and iron clad. Fact is, once we set our minds on an excuse, it takes a huge, overwhelming effort to push it aside and get done what we need to do. Continue reading
Alright. Strap in, kids because this is gonna be a bumpy one.
There is a huge problem that affects many people training in martial arts today that needs to be addressed because it is severely inhibiting their progress and skill. It applies to fitness training as well, so if you don’t train martial art read this with whatever type of training you do in mind. Continue reading
