Stephan Berwick – True Strength Yang

Make Your Body Combat-Ready Using the Most Powerful Secrets of the Ancient Chinese Warriors Stephan Berwick s True Strengthtm regimen draws on ancient Chinese warrior secrets to present a sophisticated and highly effective program for developing formidable internal power without the help of any devices, medicines, or forced breathing.

DVD 1: True Strength Yang presents essential body-hitting exercises, in a unique training approach that stimulates and toughens the skin, muscles, and joints using only relaxed, flexible limb movement.

Discover how to first toughen your upper body, moving to the mid-section, then the lower, followed by total body, structural toughening executed with a partner. Body toughening is a key part of building True Strength.

The ability to withstand and recover from blows and other related contact-injuries is crucial for any combat style.

While many martial disciplines use a variety of sometimes debilitating exercises to toughen the body, True Strength Yang is inspired by the fluid, relaxed body conditioning and power striking concepts of Tong Bei (Back Striking) and Fanzi (Catch & Hold) boxing to produce extremely quick results for any body type.

After mastering the instructional component, take advantage of three follow-along True Strength Yang Workouts to rapidly weaponize your body in just minutes a day.

DVD 2: True Strength Base: Primers for Natural Strength provides an easy to learn series of mainly lower body exercises to quickly develop overall body control.

The goal in True Strength Base is to strengthen the legs, increasing the trainee s ability to shift the body weight efficiently all towards the ability to relax while the body exerts.

You ll first strengthen your base, learn to better support your weight, gain control of your waist, and then enhance the control of your limbs.
