Calling all feature:
New Licensee Certification Class October 18th
Many times in the rigors of everyday life we find ourselves forgetting just how precious our lives truly are. September 9th is my reminder. It was today, 3 years ago that I received my last treatment of radiation in my battle against cancer. What I went through is never far from my mind, and I hardly need an anniversary to remind me of it, I need only look at the scar on my leg to be reminded of what was and what could have been. What happened to me I wish upon no one, especially anyone of you who I all consider to be a part of the Art of Strength family. Please, do not let a tragedy be your wake up call. When this happened to me I was in the best shape of my life, disease and breakdown were the furthest things from my mind. But it happened anyway. Illness and tragedy isn’t reserved for the weak and reckless it can happen to anyone at anytime. Enjoy your life; take it for all it’s worth – this is your only shot at it so make the most of it. Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one.
Enjoy the journey,
Anthony
Well it finally happened. We knew it was only a matter of time before the economic woes we find ourselves in reached the point that they were going to effect some of our products. We just got word from our rope supplier that the prices on all manila rope is going up. We were able to talk him down a bit and managed to even get him to hold off on raising his prices for a week just so we can get you guys a last few days of savings. Those price increases will effect all our bandit’s loops and our 30, 40, and 50 foot manila ropes, not to mention our new creation, the 100’ two inch diameter manila rope that we planned on introducing today with much pop and circumstance before the news came down on the price increase. We even have this great new workout for you to check out showing the 100’ rope in action - but before you take a look I just want to reiterate to you one more time, please, we were only able to hold our rope supplier at the old prices for a week so don’t procrastinate stock up on your rope they won’t be at this price much longer.
Oh, and pay attention to the new Bulldog Beast we're featuring. We showed it off a while ago but just now decided to sell it. We've got 6 instock and ready to go at the special price of $275 with a free 50lb bag of shot. This new bulldog will reach a weight of nearly 150lbs. Check it out here after the video.

One recent graduate of our program wrote in to tell us of an interesting event that happened to him shortly after his certification weekend, he writes:
Hey Guys.....
I just received the AOSX Blast from the Past workout. It’s awesome!!!
Ever since the AOS Essential Workshop in Aug, I have discovered a new passion in training for myself and for my clients. My status as trainer at the Sports Club LA NYC has become very popular. I have created a new buzz at the club and now Kettlebells are the feature exercise tool everyone wants to use.
I do have some people questioning me about kettlebell training (I bet you have as well) but if you ask them if they’ve ever tried KB's there answer is no.
I was training an athlete this past Saturday during a prime time hour at the club. While the athlete was performing the wonderful Snatch exercise with perfect form-driving with the hips, arm relaxed (taming the arc) swing, punching and locking the arm at top, and finishing with the arm retracted and depressed - A member (about 5'5" 150lbs-unfit, wearing a wrist brace and a wightlifting belt) decided to speak his mind and yell out "Your killing his back!! That's the worst exercise!! I'm a doctor" and walks away with frustration to a Smith machine to do some squats.
I did not pay any attention to this absurd outburst -i was more focused on my client’s performance . My client loves doing snatches and never complains of any back pain working with KB's.
It just goes to show you that some Dr's have no knowledge in functional training. They’d rather prescribe medication and hammer strength machine exercises to improve someone’s lifestyle- it’s so ignorant.
This story is probably not new to you. But I must say that it felt great hearing that from a Dr. I'm 100% more confident improving someone’s lifestyle and athletic performance.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
