Conditioning & Heavy Bag Attitude by Mark Hatmaker

60-Years-Old in 24 Days

Sub 30-minute conditioning sessions 5 days per week

All using Old School Principles.

I’ll admit the details gotta be followed to a Strict T, but that’s where the devil lies-- in the details.

6-Blocks of Conditioning over a 6-Month Training Cycle

In other words, 6-Months to a Makeover of You if You Choose—Man or Woman

The 6-Blocks Build with Emergentism and the Final Phase Interlocks and Provides the Capstone for a Lifetime of Sustainable Time-Respecting Conditioning.

· Strength

· Stamina

· Aesthetics

· Mobility/Flexibility

· Explosiveness

· Resilience

· Agility

Overarching Principles for ALL Blocks

· Strict Sequence is vital--Isolation Will Provide Less Bang than the Synergistic Torch

· Strict Cadence: “First Rep Equals the Last Rep”

· 5-Breath Protocol on Single Sets [Exercises NOT in italics.]

· Zero Rest Between Exercises—moving from exercise to exercise.

· ZERO Rest Between Super-Sets VITAL in the Whole Hog Program. [All italicized exercises are a continuous loop of metcon activity.]

· Set-Up Stations BEFORE you start to reduce any and all lag time.

· Lag time equals rest time equals cheating your overall Program Effect.

· Always hit ALL reps even if that falls into forced singles.

· DO NOT MOVE UP IN WEIGHT unless or until you can hit all reps in perfect form and cadence.

· Only move on to the next Block once the prior Block has been honestly completed.

Well, wanna join the stalwart Crew already on the 6-Month Journey to a Brand-New Y-O-U no matter what age or injuries you currently carry on that chassis?

Apache Running by Mark Hatmaker

Of the many Native American tribes of the southwest United States and Mexico the various bands of Apache carry a reputation for fierceness, resourcefulness, and an almost superhuman stamina. The name “Apache” is perhaps a misnomer as it refers to several different tribes that are loosely and collectively referred to as Apache, which is actually a variant of a Zuni word Apachu that this pueblo tribe applied to the collective bands. Apachu in Zuni translates roughly to “enemy” which is a telling detail that shines a light on the warrior nature of these collective tribes. Among the various Apache tribes you will find the Kiowa, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Chiricahua (or “Cherry-Cows” as early Texas settlers called them), and the Lipan. These bands sustained themselves by conducting raids on the various settled pueblo tribes, Mexican villages, and the encroaching American settlers. These American settlers were often immig...

A Conversation with Neil Melanson by Mark Hatmaker

Here is a chat I had with a good man with a good mind, Neil Melanson. If you are unfamiliar with Neil’s exemplary work he has coached at Xtreme Couture, Alliance MMA, and a HC with the Blackzilians. He is now at gym Genesis Training Academy and Coach of the Filthy Few MMA team. -DVDs out are: Head Hunter, Catchwrestling, and Ground Marshal guard basics -book Mastering Triangle Chokes -black belt under Karo Parisyan in the Hayastan Grappling System First things first, Brother Neil, thanks for taking the time to have this chat. Allow me to get another thing out of the way, your book Mastering Triangle Chokes , top-notch. This is high-speed, low-drag stuff all the way. Often there is chaff to be culled through, but you have a linear approach that appeals to the pragmatic streak in me. Excellent work. Thanks a lot man. You are a real articulate and detailed coach so that means a lot coming from you. Your approach to grappling appeals to my expansiv...

Walk Like a Warrior by Mark Hatmaker

In reading contemporary historical accounts written by soldiers (cavalry and dragoon), settlers, scouts, pioneers, and other citizens of the American frontier 1680s-1880s, I find mention that Native Americans (“Indians” or “Savages” in the accounts) did not walk like “white men.” Their gait, stride, and foot placement is described often in poetic terms as “light” or “light-footed,” “fleet”, “gliding”, and often times “springy” or “spring-like.” These terms while descriptive of the effect do little to tell us the how or why of the gait. We can find clues in accounts given by trackers in any of the myriad “Indian Wars” or skirmishes that riddled the continent in the first few centuries of the settling of the nation. The obvious telltale barefoot or soft impression of a moccasin is often a giveaway that you have a Native American track but this is less so in the moccasined foot as more and more Anglo backwoodsmen adopted this footwear. But there are a few accounts that mention ...
