Toughen Up Self-Defense Training Tips

For the past several months, I’ve been searching, studying, reading and investing a ton of time and a small fortune acquiring information and resources that I can use to bolster my own training, the curriculum of my courses and seminars and the content and quality of my Toughen Up Training Guides.

In addition to punching and kicking workouts, I’ve been exploring, reviewing and “test-driving” various combat-specific and combat-compatible training methods that will not only increase your legitimate self-defense skills but improve your health, tone and strengthen your muscles, prevent or rehabilitate injuries, burn body fat and “turn back the clock” on age-related performance problems.

Allow me to refresh you memory about the “Toughen Up Training Philosophy,”

• to use combative training methods to improve health, fitness, functional performance and mental toughness, and…
• to implement conditioning methods that translate directly to your functional performance and fighting abilities.

Over the past several months, I’ve come across information and resources that have lead to a “breakthrough” in my own training and have DRAMATICALLY changed my understanding about training, conditioning and injury prevention.  (And don’t forget, I’ve been searching for stuff like this for almost 35 years!)

That being said, the absolute, hands down, BEST resources I’ve come across have come from a company called, “DragonDoor.com .”

I’ve bought and reviewed several of their books and DVD’s and, without exception, I’m thoroughly impressed!

It’s hard for me to write this without coming across as “pitchy” or like I’m trying to sell you something.  If you know me well, you know that I’m not like that… BUT…

At the risk of being blunt… If you want to get the most out of your combative workouts you want to:

#1 Buy my Toughen Up Training Guides. ;-)  The current guides provide you with the “building blocks” you need to design your own productive and safe self-defense workouts and…

#2 Checkout the ton of free conditioning information and products that I’ll be reviewing and recommending at DragonDoor.com .

In the future, I’ll be writing reviews about some of the Dragondoor.com products that I’ve studied and will be working much of the material and concepts into articles and training guides. (as well as information from other high-quality sources)

In the meantime, I suggest that you download a copy of Dragondoor’s “Hard-Style” Catalogue. 

Without exception, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by all of the products that I’ve reviewed. 

Download the free catalogue.  It’s loaded with excellent articles and training advice.  It will also give you a sense of what Dragondoor has to offer, what I’ve been studying and the direction I’m heading with my Toughen Up stuff.

If you’re interested in downloading a copy of the Hard Style Catalogue, you can do so at a link I’ve set up for you:

Go ahead and download the catalogue… It won’t cost you a thing to take a look and you might just find the articles to be the kind of thing you’re looking for. 

If you do, fire me back an email at Randy@ToughenUp.com with any comments or questions you might have and let me know what you think.

Take care, train smart and stay safe,
