Ancient Training Secrets of a Dying Art - Revealed!
How to Develop Strength, Speed, Power and Stamina
using centuries old exercises from the land where Physical Culture was born
Dear Friend,
India has a Physical Culture tradition which reaches back thousands of years and, ironically enough, it is this subject
on which the least amount of training information can be found.
Once in a while in an old magazine you may be lucky enough to
find a few grainy pictures of Indian athletes using traditional implements such as: (Heavy Indian Clubs),
Gadas (maces) and Nals (Stone Weights).
In my opinion there isn't a more fascinating
collection of training methods, and it is something that I have always been interested in finding more about.
To my knowledge there had never been any footage
of these ancient training tools in action, that is... until now.
Now You Can See These Ancient Training Arts in Action
I recently ran across an amazing DVD, more like a documentary
really, where a researcher traveled all over India documenting all
of these ancient training methods. While modern "training" in most places bears little
resemblance to what people did even a hundred years ago, in India the traditional methods are still being practiced.
The Physical Body is a look at the Dying art of Kushti - Traditional Indian Wrestling Training.
Filmed on location, this DVD takes you right to the traditional wrestling Gyms of India where you will see and learn
exactly how modern day combat athletes are still utilizing the ancient methods.
Right There in The Traditional Gyms
At the Gaya Seth Akhara located in Varanasi, one of the
oldest cities in the world, you will learn about the three things that the members of this Akhara begin each and every
training session with, "Jor," the largest part of the wrestlers training routine,
and "Dhakuli" which, when trained correctly, teaches the wrestlers to twist and rotate
more effectively to escape moves much easier.
Remember, each guru places the elements of the training program in a different order but
the sum total remains the same. You will also learn a rough template of what a wrestler's
typical hour-by-hour daily training schedule looks like.
Next, we move on to Old Delhi, where we see how they combine modern and ancient wrestling
techniques at Guru Haruman's Akhara one of the most famous Akharas in all of India.

Watching this rare footage leads to a more complete and meaningful understanding
of the deeper meanings of physical training and the use of these ancient training tools.
Much more than just working out, these training methods are a way of life.
There has simply never been
anything like this DVD before.
Whether you are a wrestler yourself, a strength fan, or just
someone interested in seeing and learning about unusual strength feats and training, this is a must see DVD!
Train hard.
