Coach Dru Patrick at the Cave: a look back
For about 18 months we had Coach Dru Patrick running the first ever Powerlifting class at our gym. He changed how we approached training in a big way! I owe him a debt of gratitude. Here are a few videos from that time

Basics versus dogma & silver bullets
Between having trained people in martial arts, military, and the fitness world I have accumulated several decades of experience in coaching. That in itself is not the main point, others have also done that. Some of the things I have learned from working in these disciplines are common to all of them. In all ofContinue reading “Basics versus dogma & silver bullets”
Back by popular demand (and because the coach thinks it’s a good idea)
We are adding CF Striking training into our Warrior Strength-Cardio classes. We used this several years ago in our Tropical Trauma MMA conditioning classes.

Why do club and mace training?

It seems that many people just switch boxes and still get trapped inside small thinking patterns and training dogmas. ManyContinue reading “Thinking outside the box sounds good, but”
At 80 years old he said, “Give me this mountain!”
I love to read about people who have refused to fall apart as they chronologically age. There is so much “evidence” that says you cannot be strong and fit your whole life. I say flush all that garbage! Must be that this ancient warrior never read the studies that said he couldn’t do what heContinue reading “At 80 years old he said, “Give me this mountain!””
