The War-Body Manual: Skill-Driven Physical Preparedness for Strength, Conditioning and Combat
From the author of Violence of Mind: Training and Preparation for Extreme Violenceand Beyond OODA: Developing the Orientation for Deception, Conflict and Violence, comes a long-awaited third installment in the trilogy:
War-Body: Skill-Driven Physical Preparedness for Strength, Conditioning and Combat.
In the first two books, the focus was on understanding lethal violence-and developing the mindset, awareness, and decision-making to survive it. But one critical piece was deliberately set aside: the physical preparation needed to make those skills work under pressure.
That's what War-Body delivers.
That topic now gets the treatment it deserves. Skill-Driven Physical Preparedness is a system built not on trends or academic theory, but on 30+ years of direct, hard-earned experience in violent environments, prison gyms, professional coaching, and real-world application. It is a system of training for a state of perpetual readiness for life, labor and conflict; a focused approach to strength and conditioning for those who need high-level capability, particularly in self-defense, combat, and tactical readiness.
As the name implies, this is a skill-centered training. It's not just another gym routine to get strong or have good cardio, it is a methodical approach to building the chassis to perform specific, high-level skill expression, while simultaneously developing those specific skills. It's built on more than 30 years of lived experience in prison weight yards, fight gyms, professional coaching, and hands-on application. This system is for those who need a state of perpetual readiness-for life, labor, and conflict. It's not just about being fit or strong; it's about being capable, day in and day out, in real-world conditions where performance matters.
