"Stephan Berwick's True Strength Yang regimen is inspired by the fundamental training processes of traditional Chinese martial arts. The result is a remarkable testimony to his decades of systemic study and practice of Chinese martial arts. Different from many other training approaches, the body toughening regimen presented here does not only strengthen muscles, skin and joints, but also effectively builds body flexibility and the ability to withstand contact-injuries. Having been a Chinese martial arts master and professional Kung Fu team head coach for over forty years in China, I truly appreciate this body conditioning method, which is well structured and instructed to be followed easily by the audience."
—Bai Wenxiang, China Senior National Wushu Coach, Deputy Chairman of China Wushu Federation of Shaanxi Chapter and former Head Coach of Shaanxi Provincial Wushu Team.
Stephan Berwick's True Strength™ regimen draws on ancient Chinese warrior secrets to present a sophisticated and highly effective program for developing formidable internal power—without the help of any devices, medicines, or forced breathing.
Most Western-based strength training programs concentrate on building "external" muscular strength. But that is only one link in the true strength chain—which according to Chinese internal martial arts should also include strengthening your fascia/tendons/ligaments, your joints, your internal organs, your internal energy system and even your skin.
Is your strength package complete?
Without strengthening all the links in your strength-chain simultaneously, you remain as vulnerable as the weakest links in that chain. We've all see relatively small internal martial arts masters throw apparently way stronger men around like they were rag dolls. Some of this power comes from martial skill, but much, much more it's coming from the uncanny strength-package the master has developed from a truly all-around approach to strength cultivation.
Many of these internal masters demonstrate this astonishing strength well into their sixties, seventies—even eighties. How do they do it?
Stephan Berwick likes to call this quality "Tangible, True Strength". The kind of strength you really need to survive not only a worst-case scenario in combat or years of full-contact sport, but the rigors and stresses of daily life. Tangible strength is the power to survive. Tangible, true strength helps you ward off illness and injury and allows you to rebound from adversity with supreme resilience.
The kind of strength cultivation where you only seem to get stronger as you get older—rather starting to fall apart at the seams as early as your late thirties or early forties…
Ancient warriors needed to handle blows, wield heavy weapons, and survive on meager rations, while maintaining their victor's edge. Their strength was of the hands, feet, torso, neck, and legs— a total body power designed to meet any challenge thrown at it.
Gain a warrior's formidable toughness with this unique program
For the first time on DVD, Stephan Berwick reveals his regimen for healthy body toughening derived from his unique expertise in secret Chinese martial art body toughening methods. Combining hard and soft forms of conditioning inspired from his intimate knowledge of ancient military-origin Chinese martial arts, Berwick's True Strength Yang™ program offers quick results—conditioning your body to withstand blows, falls, and twists, in an easy to digest, highly intense regimen of warrior conditioning, reminiscent of the best classical martial body practices.
DVD 1: True Strength Yang presents essential body-hitting exercises, in a unique training approach that stimulates and toughens the skin, muscles, and joints using only relaxed, flexible limb movement. Discover how to first toughen your upper body, moving to the mid-section, then the lower, followed by total body, structural toughening executed with a partner.
Body toughening is a key part of building True Strength. The ability to withstand and recover from blows and other related contact-injuries is crucial for any combat style. While many martial disciplines use a variety of sometimes debilitating exercises to toughen the body, True Strength Yang is inspired by the fluid, relaxed body conditioning and power striking concepts of Tong Bei (Back Striking) and Fanzi (Catch & Hold) boxing to produce extremely quick results for any body type.
After mastering the instructional component, take advantage of three follow-along True Strength Yang Workouts to rapidly "weaponize", strengthen and energize your body in just minutes a day.
DVD 2: True Strength Base: Primers for Natural Strength provides an easy to learn series of mainly lower body exercises to quickly develop overall body control. The goal in True Strength Base is to strengthen the legs, increasing the trainee's ability to shift the body weight efficiently—all towards the ability to relax while the body exerts. You'll first strengthen your base, learn to better support your weight, gain control of your waist, and then enhance the control of your limbs.
"As a contemporary Master, Stephan Berwick explains and demonstrates the internal principles that provide the true strength and foundation of traditional Chinese Martial Arts. This 2 DVD set is essential viewing for practitioners of Chinese martial arts and a valuable addition to the DVD library of all serious martial artists".
—Warrington Hudlin, Creator, Iron Ring, martial arts television series, Curator, Fist & Sword film series at the Museum of the Moving Image (New York City)
"Stephan Berwick has ingeniously used his high-level martial arts skills and knowledge to create a unique program. I haven't seen anything like it and think the program will catch on fire. Expect high demand for this innovative instructor to teach his regimen globally. It will definitely benefit anyone who wants to increase flexibility, range of motion and structural integrity while toughening the body. Some methods martial artists have traditionally used to toughen their bodies can cause Qi (energy) blockages that, unfortunately, show up years later as arthritis or worse. True Strength Yang, by contrast, safely invigorates energy flow throughout the body, thus contributing to better overall health.
I especially appreciate the way the exercises are organized into 5, 10 and 20 minute sessions, making them easy to integrate into any workout plan. Indeed, I've already started using them in my martial arts classes. I'm urging everyone to purchase this DVD set. Hope an accompanying manual for the regimen will be produced, which would be a perfect complement to the DVDs."
—Hon K. Lee, Director, Jow Ga Shaolin Institute; Owner, Sports Edge Acupuncture Clinic, Herndon VA
"I was very impressed with Stephan Berwick's DVD on True Strength Yang. It was very clear and very ,very good looking.I loved the simplicity with which it was presented. I passed it on to the gym owner where I work out because I thought it was really thoughtful and thorough. I can't wait to start trying this strength training."

True Strength Yang is completely unique and immediately satisfying. Even the look and "feel" of these DVD's is interesting; when I started the first disc, like a magnet, everyone in the house was drawn to watch. The program has an unmistakable edge; there is elegance in its stark simplicity.

I have been practicing the "soft", non-martial varieties of chi kung (qigong) for about 15 years now. This is as different as a slap to the face in the morning. He does not call it chi kung, but this is definitely a form of hard chi kung.

| Unique and effective | Rated 10 out of 10 |

The Tong Bei striking action is unique and unlike anything I've done before. My arms, shoulders and back have greater range of motion and are more flexible. My legs are also stronger from the stepping and weight shifting.

| It just makes me feel great | Rated 10 out of 10 |
|
I am really impressed with the amount of in depth information Stephan Berwick packs into this DVD set. His "Primers" DVD contains detailed instruction on weight shifting and body mechanics and much more. I am more aware of what I am doing as I complete the exercises and know I am receiving the maximum benefit.

| Finally something creative based in tradition | Rated 10 out of 10 |
|
Imagine a DVD you can follow easily and clearly, using your own body as an instrument to build strength....inside and outside...AND it is totally fun and invigorating, compelling and original, full of subtle and obvious movements to use the body as one unit. Also helps with rooting. I have been a Truestrength fan for 6 years and this type of training has been useful in the development of my flexibility, core strength and balance. Part of the coolest feeling is not just the development of the core strength....it has a rythmn that you feel, hear and see as you get into the program. Very dimensional training. |

This is not only a good set for conditioning one's body against blows it may also be found a bounty in one's learning power generation and developing balance. Following some of the methods on the DVDs one's awareness of one's own body can improve. |

Compelling, powerful, satisfying

Steps are easy to follow, with clear explanations of individual components. For the uninitiated, demonstrations begin with slow, gentle versions of movements that quickly accumulate speed and power. At the conclusion of the two-DVD set, three different routines are provided: "intense," "conditioning," and "endurance." Stephan Berwick's easy, direct teaching method belies the depth of material that he provides. True Strength Yang is a powerful, powerful workout, and requires no special equipment to perform. Movements remain natural and relaxed, even while the body is exerting - so over time, the same length routine yields even greater results. Can't beat that!
