It’s exciting times here at Art of Strength as we anxiously await the arrival of our latest and perhaps best DVD. Filmed on location at Santa Monica’s Muscle Beach, the birthplace of fitness, Art of Strength Santa Monica (So Cal) contains the newest, some never before seen, kettlebell and authentic strength routines. Focusing on kettlebell routines, train with Anthony as he incorporates barbells and dumbbells into the act as he introduces for the first time on DVD his Authentic Strength routines. So you don’t have any of our barbells or dumbbells? Not to worry, stick with kettlebells and train along with one of his two training partners.
This fully programmable DVD, allowing you to choose the level of difficulty and rest periods, comes with a second disc containing Ropes Gone Wild training, showing you all the moves and every workout possible with our Ropes Gone Wild line of rope products. At the pre-order price of just 49.99 this will surely become an instant classic.

Our latest Punch Gym Licensee weekend wrapped up recently and we’ve got the picture to prove it. The weekend’s events kicked off on Friday with everyone getting together for the meet and greet dinner. All guests and their significant others joined Anthony and the other Art of Strength staffers and trainers for a great dinner and even better conversation The next day, reserved for participants only, took everyone through every aspect of kettlebell training, from learning the routines themselves to all the "how to’s" of teaching the routines to others. The day included lessons in proper technique, spotting and fixing bad form, Corrective Strategies, Authentic Strength training, circuit design and Ropes Gone Wild. The following day was all business as we went through everything the future Punch Gym Owner needs to know about starting and running a successful establishment.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of photos taken of the weekend’s events. For more shots head over to the registration page and while you’re there check out some of the upcoming dates to see when your next event will be.
here's what one participant had to say about the weekend event:
Dear Anthony, Staci and Dennis,
All the way home I have thought about how to thank you all and express what a tremendous pleasure it was to finally meet you. I've come to the conclusion that there is just no way to do it justice, at the same time knowing that I at least have to make an attempt.
First and foremost, thank you for making us all feel so welcome and so much a part of the PUNCH family. Though it doesn't show as much now, I am at heart a shy person, often opting to stand back and watch, not wanting to be in the way or at all presumptuous--especially in groups where I feel like an outsider or like I have little to contribute. You all immediately put me at ease and made me feel comfortable thus facilitating the learning process, and I can't thank you enough for that. I envy the comraderie of the folks who live close enough to be a part of what you have there on a daily basis.
Often when a setting is so friendly and open, a compromise is made with the level of professionalism, but I have to say that I have never been to a more well organized or more well presented workshop than this one (and I have been to a lot of classes in a lot of fields). The schedule stuck to the itinerary without being too rigid and flowed from subject to subject seamlessly. While Anthony's breakdown of the moves and how to teach them was fantastic, the support staff was just as wonderful, moving quietly through the class with subtle suggestions, always helpful and seeming to pop up just when they were needed. And everyone was just infinitely patient, tirelessly fielding a dozen voices asking a dozen different questions. Just when I thought the system couldn't be more elegantly done, you finished out the day not with nice lazer printed 8.5x11" certificates but the beautiful folder and its certificate--like everything else, elegantly done above and beyond expectations.
Sincerely,
Jen B
