Physical culture is a strange beast. There is really nothing new. Some things are occasionally repackaged. The secret then is to view something from another angle and communicate your discoveries to a receptive audience. After all, we are just dealing with muscles, motion, heart rate, and gravity. It’s like Italian food,… the pasta is the same, the secret is in the sauce.

I just had the great fortune of viewing "The Boys Are Back In Town" DVD set from Mike Mahler. This is a tightly edited package of hard won knowledge. I can’t emphasize enough that this material is of the highest value. Before even describing it, I would say it is a "must buy".

Mike Mahler decided to invite Nate Morrison, Steve Maxwell, and Steve Cotter to join him in Las Vegas for a weekend seminar and a chance to share their knowledge. For those of you who have been under a rock, I will spare you the time and space of lengthy resume’s. Steve Cotter, of course is the head of FullKontact.com, a career martial artist in Chinese methods, and competitive Kettlebell lifter, and an evangelist of QiGong. Steve Maxwell is a Masters Brazilian Jiujitsu Champion, trainer to athletes, and an encyclopedia of physical culture. Nate Morrison is a member of the USAF ParaRescue. He has been there, done that, and is a hero. His background in addition to Kettlebell training is Japanese Martial Arts and Russian Systema. Last but not least is Mike Mahler. He is one of the most popular strength authors and instructors around. His powerful and energetic presentation are a force to be reckoned with. I’ve been fortunate to have met and trained alongside or with all of these gentlemen. They are some of the best of the best.

The DVD package is 3 disks long. Each one is unique and covers kettlebell basics, joint mobility, body mechanics, breathing, kettlebell sport, martial arts, stretching, power development, hormonal health, QiGong, and much, much, more. This package is probably the most thorough treatment on fitness and health that I have seen. What is really valuable is the growth of the instructors. As educators mature, they sometime get stale. Not these guys. You will have to get a running start to even keep up with them. To put it bluntly, your fitness library is not complete without a DVD package like this.
