Fitness and strength are meaningless qualities without
health.
With correct training, these three benefits
should naturally proceed hand-in-hand. In this book,
every effort has been made to convey the importance of
safe training technique, but despite this all
individual trainees are different and needs will vary.
Proceed with caution, and at your own risk. Your body
is your own responsibility-look after it. All medical
experts agree that you should consult your physician
before initiating a training program. Be safe!
This book is intended for entertainment purposes only.
This book is not biography. The names, histories and
circumstances of the individuals featured in this book
have accordingly been changed either partially or
completely. Despite this, the author maintains that
all the exercise principles within this volume-
techniques, methods and ideology-are valid. Use them,
and become the best.

ome time in 1969. A brash Cambridge undergraduate sat hunched in the reverent silence,
as two saffron-clad Tibetan Buddhist monks lectured on the mysteries of meditation and
enlightenment.
The monks radiated gentle peace and ease. Their eyes crinkled with humor, as if sharing a per-
petual inside joke. "Everything is beautiful, nothing matters," they seemed to hint. Their words
washed over the young man's head-mostly wasted-as his mind darted from restless thought to
restless thought.
One monk began to speak of the inner freedom that arises from the practice of deep meditation.
The monk used an analogy: "You can be locked in a prison cell-apparently in bondage-and yet
you remain free inside. Nobody can take that inner freedom from you."
The undergrad exploded out of his seat with an angry rebuttal. "How can you say that? Prison
is prison. Bondage is bondage. There can be no real freedom when you are being held against your
will!" A deep button had been pushed, the knee-jerk response out of all proportion to the monk's
analogy.
The fellow monk smiled beatifically at the angry young man. "It is good to question your teach-
ers," he said with absolute sincerity and no hint of irony. And the monks continued with their
talk, flowing like a river round the jagged boulder in their midst.
Forty years later. Some time in 2009. The volatile young Cambridge undergrad is now a some-
what wiser and a whole lot more mellow fellow. He's running a dynamic and rapidly expanding
venture called Dragon Door Publications-a vehicle for those with a passion for the cultivation of
physical excellence.
.
And I'm about to introduce the world to one of the most exciting books I have ever read. It's a
book about prison. It's a book about freedom. It's a book about survival. It's a book about
humanity. It's a book about strength and power. It's a book that belongs in the hands of our mili-
tary, our police, our firefighters, and all who protect our country from harm. It's a book to circu-
late in our high schools and colleges. It's a book for the professional athlete and for the out-of-
shape desk jockey. It's a book for stay-at-home moms. It's a book for boomers seeking to reverse
the sands of time. It's a book for anyone seeking the secrets of supreme survival strength.
