Action Strength Training: Transform Your Body and Mind
Revolutionizing Functional Fitness
Action Strength is not just another workout. It is a complete training system designed to awaken the body, mind, and spirit. Modeled after Bruce Lee’s training philosophy, Action Strength blends ancient wisdom with modern sports science to create powerful, practical, and deeply transformative results.
This system has been embraced by elite professionals and warriors alike, including members of the Navy SEALs, FBI, CIA, DEA, SWAT, and competitive athletes across multiple disciplines. Why? Because Action Strength develops not only raw power but also presence, precision, and resilience.
The Four Pillars of Action Strength
At its core, Action Strength is built on four essential principles. Each one balances physical performance with mindful awareness, ensuring you train with both intensity and intelligence.
1. Bodyweight Mastery
Training begins with bodyweight movement across all planes of motion, addressing symmetry, mobility, and strength. This restores natural movement patterns, builds functional strength, and unlocks hidden stability and agility. The body itself becomes the ultimate training tool.
2. Linear Force: Kettlebells
The kettlebell is a cornerstone of Action Strength. Its dynamic, swinging motion teaches explosive power, grip strength, and cardiovascular endurance. Slow grind lifts, like presses and Turkish Get-ups, create power and fortify resilience. It is a simple tool that produces profound results.
3. Elliptical Force: The Gada (Indian Mace)
Drawing from ancient warrior traditions, the gada or Indian mace develops rotational strength, shoulder mobility, and whole-body coordination. This unconventional tool challenges the body in ways modern gym equipment cannot.
4. Mind-Body Connection: Tai Chi
No system is complete without stillness. Tai Chi is woven into Action Strength as the anchor of presence and mindfulness. Through proper structure and alignment, one can access whole & total effortless power. It refines coordination, restores energy, and integrates the mental discipline required to perform under pressure.
Benefits of Action Strength
Action Strength delivers a training experience unlike anything else. Students experience:
Maximized power, strength, and endurance in a single program
Improved balance, dexterity, mobility, and agility
Greater structural alignment reduces the risk of injury
Efficient workouts lasting 20 to 45 minutes

A training style that is engaging, playful, and deeply rewarding
In short, this system sharpens the warrior within while cultivating the calm of the sage.
