ATTENTION: Are You Sick and Tired of Being WEAK, OUT OF SHAPE, and Barely Recognizing the Person Staring Back in the Mirror?
STOP! Before you even think about another overpriced gym membership you’ll abandon in three weeks, or another useless supplement promising miracles, listen up.
Because what I'm about to reveal will utterly transform your body, your strength, and your very outlook on life. This isn't for the faint of heart, the "casually interested," or those content with mediocrity.
This is for the warrior within you, the one who demands real, undeniable, bone-deep results.
If you’re ready to ditch the excuses, shatter your limitations, and forge a body of raw, functional power that few can even dream of, then pay close attention.
You’ve seen them – those chiseled, agile, almost superhuman individuals who move with an effortless strength that commands respect. They don’t just look strong; they are strong. And they didn’t get that way by endlessly lifting pretty weights or spending hours pounding the treadmill. No. They tapped into something far more primal, far more effective, and far more… combat-ready.
And now, for the first time, the secrets to that kind of explosive, real-world strength are available to YOU.
Introducing: The "Combat Fitness" Manual – Exercises of The Iron Man by GM Jim Brassard.
This isn't just another workout book. It's a master key to unlocking a level of physical prowess you probably thought was reserved for elite martial artists, special forces, or Hollywood action heroes.
And here’s the kicker: it requires little to no equipment.
That’s right. No expensive gym fees. No fancy machines. Just you, your body, and the unshakeable will to transform.
GM Jim Brassard, a man who has dedicated his life since 1976 to the martial arts, isn't some fly-by-night fitness guru. He’s a Soke, a 10th Degree Black Belt, a multiple Martial Arts Hall of Fame Recipient, and a master of exercises that build true, functional strength.
He’s trained countless students, and now he’s distilling over 25 years of teaching and research into YOUR hands.
Forget everything you thought you knew about getting strong.
Most people slave away in gyms, lifting weights in isolation, building “show muscles” that have zero real-world application. They might look big, but can they move? Can they generate explosive power? Can they dominate in a real-life situation? Often, the answer is a resounding NO.
GM Brassard’s methods are different. They are battle-tested. They are proven to build strength that transfers – strength you can use in every aspect of your life. This manual teaches you how to make your body work as a single, coordinated unit, with all muscles firing together for maximum power.
This is about building a body that is not just aesthetically pleasing, but profoundly capable.
Why bodyweight? Because it’s the ultimate truth teller.
Many of the strongest people GM Brassard has ever met incorporate these bodyweight exercises into their daily routine, and he teaches them in all his classes.
He even found that using these exercises increased his own strength more than just using weights alone.
Think about it:
- No gym required – perfect for those with no time or desire for a local gym.
- Develop incredible functional strength.
- Increase flexibility and endurance.
- It costs nothing but your time and effort.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT STRENGTH?
The "Combat Fitness" Manual reveals exercises that some "bench press champions" couldn’t even master. Take the Hindu Pushup, for example. Many wrestlers use these to build incredible upper body strength and increase flexibility.
GM Brassard had a student who could bench press 380 lbs., but couldn't do 25 Hindu Pushups in a row. When you can "crack off 100 of these," you'll see a big difference in the mirror and gain immense lung power.
This isn't about fluffy workouts. This is about real drills designed to push you beyond your perceived limits and forge an "Iron Man" physique. We're talking about:
- Hindu Pushups: Build incredible upper body strength and flexibility.
- Divebomber Pushups: An advanced variation requiring immense upper body strength. Master the Hindu, then tackle these. Your goal? 100 straight to become a "true warrior".
- One-Arm Hindu/Divebomber Pushups: For absurd strength and balance. If you can do 25, you're in a league of your own. 50? Stay away from Kryptonite!
- Clapping Pushups: Develop explosive strength and add inches to your chest and arms. When you can push off the floor and stand straight up, call the Guinness World Records!
- One Leg Pushups: Excellent for developing the "king" of all pushups – the one-arm variation.
- One Arm Pushups: Increase upper body strength and balance. A goal of 20 per arm will demand new, larger shirts.
- Reverse Pushups: Strengthen your back, shoulders, and arms, promoting flexibility throughout your entire upper body, especially the spine.
- Tiger Pushups: Build power in the shoulders and arms, stemming from old Wing Chung exercises.
- Back Bridging: One of the best exercises for spinal flexibility, building muscles in your abs, legs, back, shoulders, and neck.
- The "X": Develops immense strength in the chest, arms, and stomach. Hold it for 3 minutes, and you'll know what true core stability feels like.
And that's just a taste of the UPPER BODY section! This manual is packed with exercises for your lower body and core that will push you to your absolute physical peak.
ARE YOU READY TO UNLEASH YOUR INNER BEAST?
This isn't about looking good in a tank top (though you certainly will!). This is about building a foundation of strength that permeates every aspect of your life. It's about having the physical and mental fortitude to tackle any challenge, anytime, anywhere.
The "Combat Fitness" Manual isn't just a collection of exercises; it's a philosophy. GM Brassard teaches, "Change your mind, and you'll change your body". If you're in poor shape now, it's time to change your thinking. By adopting the mindset of a conditioned athlete, your body will follow.
This manual pushes you to develop "mental toughness" because that's where true, lasting physical transformation begins. You'll learn to embrace high-intensity drills with minimal rest, mix high and low rep days for constant gains, and understand that real strength comes from consistency and variety.
