"I could do one wobbly one-legged squat…
[Two weeks later] I did 5 clean, butt-to-ground pistols."
"Last night I did 15 one-arm pushups with each arm.
Two months ago I couldn't do one complete rep."
Have you noticed—the greater a man's skill, the more he achieves with less? And the skill of strength is no exception. From the ancient days of Greek wrestling, to the jealously guarded secrets of Chinese Kung Fu masters, to the hard men of modern spec ops, warriors and allied strongmen have developed an amazing array of skills for generating inhuman strength.
But these skills have been scattered far and wide, held closely secret, or communicated in a piecemeal fashion that has left most of us frustrated and far from reaching our true strength potential.
Now, for the first time, Russian strength expert and former Spetsnaz instructor Pavel has gathered many of these devastating techniques into one highly teachable skill set. In The Naked Warrior Pavel reveals exactly what it takes to be super-strong in minimum time—when your body is your only tool.
Gain more brute strength in days than you did in years of bodybuilding or calisthenics
Discover the martial secrets of instant power generation—for rapid surges in applied strength
Discover how to get a world-class powerlifter's quality workout—using your body only
Master the one-arm/one-leg pushup for crushing upper body force
Forge super-piston, never-quit legs with the Spetsnaz favorite "Pistol"
Discover the magic of "GTG"—guaranteed the world's most effective strength routine
Be tow-truck strong—yet possess the rugged looks of a stripped-down racer
Get a harder, firmer, functionally-fitter body—and be as resilient as hell whatever you face
No gym, no weights, no problem—get a dynamite strength workout at a moment's notice—wherever you are
"Mr. Tsatsouline has redefined strength-conditioning for the 21st century!
Recently retired from 32 years in public education, I used to agonize over the archaic athletic training which I witnessed on a daily basis; Now, Pavel's research can yield a much more condensed, result- producing package."
—John McKean, six time All-Round Weightlifting World Champion
"With The Naked Warrior, Pavel has moved the art of exercise without weights to a new level. Now, whether you have weights or not, there is no reason not to get into top shape!" —Arthur Drechsler, author "The Weightlifting Encyclopedia"
"The tools Pavel explains in The Naked Warrior will help my Olympic style weight lifters gain the core strength they need to put additional kg on their totals. Thanks Pavel for such a great work!!" —Mike Burgener, Sr international weightlifting coach
"For martial artists who don't wish to weight train or just don't have the time The Naked Warrior program is the way to go to enhance strength. You can practice martial skills without the information offered in The Naked Warrior, but you risk not operating at full potential." —George Demetriou, Modern Warrior Defensive Tactics Institute, NYC
"The Naked Warrior has caused me to completely re-evaluate the way I look at calisthenics...it allows us in the field to still train for great strength with only our bodies and that's like money in the bank!" —SSgt. Nate Morrison, USAF, Pararescue Combatives Course Project Manager
"If you are that rare breed who will never settle for anything less than the best you can possibly be, The Naked Warrior is the book for you. It teaches people of all levels of fitness how to reach levels that they might never have thought possible. I improved my deadlift from 465 to 505 in one month. My "pistol" is now rock bottom, and a Gold's gym musclehead called me a Cirque de Soleil performer."
—Randy Part, Santa Monica, CA
"The Naked Warrior is pure gold. If you follow Pavel's advice as laid out in this book, you will get stronger, regardless of your current level of strength. And you'll do it safely - and quicker than you thought possible, with less effort than you thought imaginable. Pavel's works have changed my life, and made training at the age of 44 more fun and effective than ever." —John Quigley, Camp Hill, PA
"No words can accurately convey the depth of my appreciation for Pavel and the light he has cast on Russian strength and health systems. He's deepened and broadened the path between world-class performance and the average individual who wants to increase strength and fitness. This information is worth its weight in gold." —Steven Barnes, North West
"I practiced yoga for years and train hard to be a strong rock climber, but the techniques presented in this book have been more valuable to me than anything I have ever worked at." —Millerclmb, Carbondale, Il
"Pavel keeps delivering the goods. This book has the ingredients that you need to 'have wired in' if you want strength. Like all of Pavel's products, I wish I had this information when I was 20 years old. Better late, than never. Four years of University with a double major in Phys Ed, it's not a patch on Pavel." —Pete, Hobart, Australia

You just thought you knew about bodyweight exercises!
Rated 10 out of 10
Pavel's DVD is a treasure trove of information for any beginner or expert strength trainer. I was trained by Bill Starr in Power Lifting and Weight Lifting(Olympic Lifting to the ignorant.) and was a personal trainer/instructor 26 years, Military Police/Correctional Officer for 11 years and coaching/instructing Judo and Ju-jitsu for the last 8 years, and I was in the Marine Corps, Navy, and the Guard for giggles and grins, so I have some knowledge on the subject matter. I can honestly say that Pavel is 100% correct! Give his DVD or book a shot (hell, I bought both!) and you'll see that you don't need hundreds of reps or dozens of different exercises to become rock hard and strong as coiled steel. What Pavel and Bill Starr have in common is that neither of them accept Status Quo in their work and they both know how to make you STRONG. Both Pavel and Starr looked beyond traditional Western methods and dogma regarding what it takes to get strong. But, as far thinking as Bill's classic work "The Strongest Shall Survive Strength Training for Football" was Pavel's works are light years ahead of the pack. What would you expect from someone who got to use Spetsnaz soldiers for guinea pigs and had all of the Evil Empire's sport science data at his disposal. This guy just keeps getting better and better! Those who whine about "too few exercises" "too expensive" obviously don't know their ass from a hole in the ground! Remember, you get what you pay for! Less IS more! When the exercises WORK don't cry about your pencil neck gym class going bye bye, strap on a pair and do the exercises and become a man! Then maybe you'll be able to pick up a Russian Kettlebell! Pain tells you you are still alive, enjoy the pain.

Rated 10 out of 10
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this video is the offical lecture of super strength. Want to be stronger then every one around you, but can't get to a gym? Not a problem, because Paval teaches you how to get a powerlifters work out with what ever you have now. This program is for every one, even if you can't do a single one arm push up (you will be soon!) This program picks up where Power! To the People left off on tension and effective training. Grease the Groove will fill you with power! If you are not willing to pay the measely asking price for this kind of information, then you are a fool.

Rated 9 out of 10
I frequently travel for my work and many hotels have little or no exercise equipment. The knowledge I gained from the Naked Warrior allows me to get a good strength workout no matter where I stay. I give this a 9.5. It would be a 10 but I would like to have seen a few more suggestions for different types of workout routines.

Extraordinary Experience
Rated 9 out of 10
-This was the stuff your highschool gym coach should have taught you, but didn't.-
Being a frequent 'road warrior' I often find myself staying in hotels that tout their 'GYM' as an important feature and amenity. These so called GYMs are usually woafully inadequate, or in some cases non existent.
Watching this video, I was struck by the concept that not only could I get an amazingly beneficial strength practice in while on the road, but could add two brutally effective and impressive techniques to my already rigorous routines.
Having purchased several of Pavel's books and videos, and already incorporating dead lifts, presses, and kettlebell training into my routines, my body has been transforming itself into a Spetsnaz recruiting poster.(Thank You Pavel!)
The Naked Warrior DVD REALLY helped me to master these two amazingly effective exercises because I could watch the movments over and over, and thus critically adjust my own faltering form, and figure out where I was "leaking power".
Pavel just seems to understand where you might hit SNAFUs and addresses these as well as offers suggestions and tips for how to avoid them.(very comprehensive)
As far as personal application of these exercises goes, the one arm push-up gets practiced mostly on the road, however I find myself practicing my pistols and their variations almost daily, both "naked" and with a 24kg kettlebell.
The benefits of this exercise alone on overall strength and conditioning cannot be over-emphasized. My dead lifts skyrocketed as a result of this little training nugget. The psychological impact of being able to do something very few "fit" people are capable of is an amazing confidence builder as well.
All in all I am VERY happy with my purchase of the DVD. If you are one of those people that can learn by reading only, I applaud you. The Naked Warrior book is certainly a great purchase and an engrossing read. But if you're like me and need a good visual reference and example to follow to really excel, then do yourself a favor and also buy the DVD. You won't regret it.

Nothing Better !!!
Rated 10 out of 10
I have been using this program for over 2 years now. It’s the only strength training I use, and the only one I will probably ever use. This is the real deal; I’m just now able to do the more difficult things on the DVD with maximum proficiency. There is no question this DVD makes you stronger. I have a friend who can bench twice as much as me, but I over power him easily. I could go on and on about this DVD, but no time I need to go do some one-handed dive-bomber pushups. If your hesitant about buying this DVD, hesitate no longer it will be the best decision you ever make.

Not worth the money
Rated 2 out of 10
I was very disappointed with the amount of and type of content. The only reason I didn't give this a 1 is because Pavel is entertaining. If you are an absolute beginner with no skill and some strength then you will like this. If you already know how to do pistols and pushups then do as many variations of those as you can think of and that's the DVD. I have found just as much helpful info on the web. By the way, I'm a girl and I could do every single pistol variation so....they could be harder, I guess. Also, while I haven't mastered the one-armed pushup or one-armed divebomber yet, I have been working on it for awhile and Pavel's "tips" didn't do anything to further the cause.

Fast results that link to everything else in RKC Fitness!
Rated 10 out of 10
OMG! After only 3 "practices" where I just "greased the groove" and had fun practicing a few reps here and there, I was able to do a full pistol! With flat soles, flip flops and barefoot (all 3 in that order of progression, the barefoot being the hardest).
I'm not quite able to do a full one-arm push-up on both arms, but I believe I'm one practice away for my strong arm. Again, that's after only 3 practices!
Regardless, I've noticed not only improvements in the Naked Warrior drills quickly, but I've set a new PR in my presses when following my ETK protocol to lift heavier. And, as a bonus "body" improvement, my muscles truly feel bulletproof! Definitely the best tool to get a hard body. Pavel promises AND delivers here (when does he not?)
The Naked Warrior drills were not covered at my RKC, but I recommend this as a companion book/DVD to anyone.
Short, concise and extremely effective. Like any good kettlebell workout!

All this progress with just a few tips? Too good AND true!
Rated 10 out of 10
So, I've got enough books to read. I figured, a few minutes of my time watching the DVD, Pavel's inspirational wisdom, I should be good.
Well, it was better than I thought! No joke!
Pavel shows you the moves and with a few well placed words and comments gets you going and attempting moves that, though simple, are normally perceived as hard. Well, they are, but he makes it look easy. Besides, it feels like he's watching you directly, so the pressure's on. Or, "compression" I should say :)
Best part, add it to your regular routine, grease the groove with a few sets, a few reps and reap rewards beyond your expectations in other aspects of your training.
A must have to increase your true strength!

Rated 10 out of 10
The Book and DVD are a must have to anyone who goes away from their Kettlebells and other iron, I have a girlfriend that I spend week ends with and I don't always want to haul my iron around especially if I am in my Power to the People cycle. Huge plates or iron, across town venture etc. So this come in very handy if I am not lugging my KB's around.
If you travel and do not have your iron, or where ever you are dosn't have anything useful this is a must have instead of skipping your work out.

Misleading
Rated 5 out of 10
Although there is good information in this DVD, it's description is a little misleading. One would think it is full of bodyweight exercises. Really, it is about the one legged squat and the one armed push up.
Being able to do those exercises is important because of everything else that comes into play. Maybe a rewrite of the DVD's description is in order.
The price in my opinion is also almost double what it should be. You get twice the information in DVDs by some of the worlds leading strength coaches for almost half this price.
Pavel also seems to cash in on the gimmick that he is from Russia. He over emphasizes his accent and says "Comrade" so much it becomes irritating.

The DVD overall is very well done, and Pavel is amazing, however I was hoping for more beginner steps to help you get to the point where Pavel is. Good video for those advanced enough, but not the best starting place for a beginner.

i liked the dvd. the explaination were simple and to the point. the demonstrations were preformed with good shape and alignment. the visual and verble queues were in harmony. i did not see any waisted time which made it easy to watch and learn. the reason i scored the product as an eight was: i was looking for more drills to developed core strenght and fast twitch muscles. i got done with the dvd wanting more information/drills, i just thought it was to short. note: i am a gymnastics coach and i am always on the look out for better and different ways to develope core strength, balance, power, and speed for my gymnastics. thank you very much for your product...

Good-Bad
Rated 5 out of 10
This DVD has great workouts for more advanced "body-builders." However, most of the exercises are almost impossible if you do not already have upper-body strength. I compare this to trying to bench 200 lbs the first time you have ever lifted weights--it's probably not going to happen.
The other "bad" value of this DVD is that if you are looking for a DVD to work out with (e.g. Tae Bo), then this is not the video for you. It simply gives you a very brief overview of the work out to perform--after that, it moves very quickly on to the next exercise. It doesn't even give you the number of repititions you should perform to get a "full" workout.
