“Thanks to all of you for a terrific seminar. You are true professionals and masters. This work is not only essential personally, but will be tremendously helpful to a great majority of my patients. UNLOCK! seminars should be a required course for all chiropractors, orthopedists, rheumatologists, physicians assistants, massage therapists, physical therapists, and anyone else working therapeutically with human bodies.”—DOC KELLY, Chiropractic Physician, Trainer for elite, amateur and professional athletes (all sports)

Unlock!

The Course in
Effortless and Unrestricted Movement

With:
Pavel Tsatsouline, Steve Maxwell
and John DuCane

Friday, October 27–Sunday, October 29, 2006
Discover Three "Master-Key" Systems to Unlock Your Body, Unleash New Energy and Release Your Latent Power—Using Little-Known Flexibility, Mobility and Stretching Secrets from Martial Arts, Qigong and the Elite Russian Spetznaz…

Is lack of flexibility and mobility crippling your athletic achievements? Are your joints killing you? Are you stiffer and more rigid than you’d like to be? Would you like to regain the bounce, buoyancy and agility you had as a kid—while retaining or boosting your adult strength and power?

Then…

Let three masters of the flexibility arts show you surefire yet little-known ways to achieve a higher freedom of movement and dramatically enhance your performance, whatever your sport or physical activity.

“The Unlock! course is a must for anyone wanting to significantly increase their functional range of motion and flexibility. I leave inspired and full of new ideas to explore. It is a joy and an honor to train with you three extraordinary men. Hats off!”— CAIN CARROLL, author of Partner Yoga

First, let’s look at who’ll be sharing their hard-won mobility and flexibility secrets with you for three whole days…

For starters…

PAVEL TSATSOULINE is widely regarded as the preeminent authority on stretching and flexibility in this country. A bestselling author of results-based fitness resources, Pavel has excelled in helping elite athletes, military personnel, lifters, martial artists and general fitness enthusiasts blow though their physical limitations, be it in strength or flexibility. Pavel specializes in identifying the crucial principles and finer points you HAVE to know to guarantee yourself superior performance.

And consider this:

If you need to ask what it would cost to train with Pavel one-on-one, you probably can’t afford it! And yet at the Unlock! Seminar you can get hands-on corrections and personal tips from Pavel that could alter your physical capabilities for ever… and in fact, participants at the last Unlock! were astounded at what they did achieve in just a few hours…

However, don’t just take my word for it—listen to what Pilates teacher Barbara McDuffie had to say:

“The Unlock! workshop was truly an amazing experience. The talent and expertise of John, Steve, and Pavel is unsurpassed. What really made this 2 day workshop so incredible was it didn’t matter where you were when you started…you were just pushed, motivated, and inspired to reach your own personal best.

I was able to do things I hadn’t had the flexibility to do before and went far beyond I had imagined I could go. Other participants shared the same “WOW” experience with me as we debriefed after the course. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I would have thought it was just magic. The true magic was the instruction and dedication of John, Steve, and Pavel.

I would highly recommend this seminar to anyone, at any level of fitness. This is one seminar a person can continually attend and continually move to the next level. Please let me know when the next UNLOCK! is scheduled. Thanks for such an incredible weekend!”

And you know what?

Barbara has indeed already signed up for the next Unlock!...

But that’s only part of the story, because you also get to be up close and personal with…

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion STEVE MAXWELL — who has a genius for creating highly innovative, creative and rich workout routines that address the widest range of athletic needs. People have been raving about how Steve’s Joint Mobility Recharge™ has laser-targeted their specific functional needs—and dramatically improved their overall body movement.

Because Steve has been…

Searching the world for over thirty years for the perfect exercises to support his bone-crunching lifestyle… and he’s been honing and honing a workout system to make sure he’s as much a human dynamo in his eighties as he is right now!

In other words, Steve is a MACHINE when it comes to recognizing, absorbing and refining the best-exercises-of-the-best and concocting them into his own super-charged elixir.

But he is also an absolute master at taking this exercise-elixir of his and making it totally accessible and immediately useable by everyone from overweight middle-aged housewives, to butt-kicking Marines, to World Jiu Jitsu contenders to your famous weekend warrior.

And that’s not even beginning to do him justice! Believe me, I could go on and on but I’ll let another of the former Unlock! participants say it for me:

The Unlock! seminar was terrific.  I have studied Tae Kwon Do, Escrima, and Yoga over the past two decades.  It seems a little unfair to learn more in two days than I have in the last 10 years.  These are three of the most amazing instructors and fitness professionals that ANYONE is likely to ever meet. The Unlock! seminar is jam packed with flexibility and mobility jewels that will improve physical performance in any activity.”—JAY ARMSTRONG, 5th Dan, RKC

Steve and Pavel together is enough to rock your world guaranteed, but you also get the inside knowledge and 30-year qigong background of…

JOHN DuCane—who has his own unique genius for distilling the often mysterious internal arts of Qigong into a highly accessible format of techniques for free-flowing movement and high energy.

Like Steve, John has been on a relentless Holy Grail-like search, plundering the planet for the deeper secrets of longevity, radiant health and enlightenment.

Also like Steve, John is an in-the-trenches-teacher-practitioner who helps every imaginable body type and background, week-in-week-out, to transform their strength, flexibility and well being through Qigong.

Make no mistake:

If John finds a qigong technique that genuinely and practically works to enhance body, mind and spirit he’ll get it down and you’ll be the first to know about it!

Let’s face it, if…

Physicians, cops, therapists, nurses, artists, dancers, world champion powerlifters, martial artists, athletes, computer desk-jockeys, construction workers, personal trainers, acupuncturists, actors, teachers and musicians… are just a few of the many thousands who have experienced dramatic improvements in their well being, physical health and mobility after qigong classes with John, then…

Chances are very good you will too… but again, listen to what mathematician and world powerlifting champion MICHELLE KILIKAUSKAS has to say here:

Unlock! is extremely practical – a great complement to RKC training. The course encouraged me that it is entirely within my grasp to increase my mobility and flexibility as I get older rather than lose it (I’m 47) it also convinced me that the real barriers are self imposed. Pavel, Steve, and John are all extremely gifted teachers. They have a vast treasure of knowledge and experience, and they are exceptionally skilled at transmitting that knowledge to others.”

Now imagine if you could combine, in one single program, the essence of each teacher’s greatest contribution to the art of effortless and unrestricted movement?

And…

Imagine the impact on your physical performance, if you mastered these major movement secrets from all the great traditions of Russia, China and the US?

Well, Pavel, Steve and John have decided to join forces to bring you just that opportunity.

Let’s take a closer look at exactly what you’ll get when attend the next Unlock!...

Unlock!™ Master-Key # One:

Pavel Tsatsouline's
Beyond Stretching™
Master the Secrets of Super-Flexibility


“It’s like being given a key that unlocks a rusty old lock and freeing all the shackles. Pavel has given every American the gift of strength, better mobility and the chance to heal old injuries and live a more comfortable life”—Joe Lowry, Actor; New Rochelle, NY.

Pavel will push you to an instant breakthrough in your range of motion by teaching you how to 'find space within your body.' All top athletes and fighters do it but they are unwilling or unable to teach it. It is mind-boggling what you will be able to do once you master this subtle yet unbelievably powerful technique of 'finding space':

For example, discover…

  • How to sink into an effortless rock bottom squat-just like a three year old. (Even if you have not squatted in decades!)
  • How to double or triple the rate of your progress towards the full split. You will go deeper than ever during the course and if you are only inches away Pavel will drop you into a full split! Whether you like it or not.
  • How to make your spine come alive—while dramatically improving your performance in sports as different as powerlifting and wrestling.
  • How to stretch your hamstrings instead of overstretching your back. Critical for health and performance!
  • How to say good-bye to a gun turret head and wake up your neck from stiffness and weakness.
  • How to strike the perfect balance of shoulder stability and mobility.
  • How to release the parking brake of your hip flexors-and lift, strike, run and jump with more power.

Now, ‘Finding space’ is only ONE of PAVEL’S FIVE Beyond Stretching™ master principles. They are subtle and hard to learn from books but unbelievably powerful. Immediate results guaranteed.

Okay, if you’ve got the picture and feel ready to live your life and perform physically with unimaginable new levels of flexibility and body-ease then GO AHEAD AND REGISTER NOW for Unlock! The Course in Effortless and Unrestricted Movement

Want more detail?…

Then here’s even more of the little-known tips and breakthroughs you will walk away with after training with the nation’s leading flexibility expert…
  • FORWARD BEND BACK Stretching

Let’s face it, whenever you bend over to touch your toes you just feel a strain in your sacrum and not much else. Say goodbye to the strain and hello to a long and flexible spine! Your spine will suddenly release as if Pavel has put you in traction during your toe touch stretch—and you will forget where your lower back is.

If you have not touched your toes in decades, chances are you will—right here, in the Unlock! workshop… Your back has never felt so good!

  • BACK BEND BACK Stretching

Now that you have folded forward like a master yogi, how would you like to bend back with the effortless grace of a five year old? Yes, it can be done! Pavel will teach you a simple visualization that will release your vertebrae and spread the stress over the entire length of your spine so you can painlessly bend back without jamming in your lower back as you used to.

Do still feel some discomfort? No problem, unless you have a medical condition, a weird, never-seen-outside-the-Iron Curtain sequence will take care of it in minutes!

Do you need a super arch for your championship bench press? A bridge for wrestling or gymnastics? Do you just want to freak out your contemporaries with your youthful-no, juvenile!-mobility? You have come to the right place!

“WOW! By far the best training I have received on stretching. Pavel’s methods are straightforward and make sense. Conventional stretching methods in the United States are a joke compared to the techniques taught here. Pavel is by far one of the best instructors on physical fitness I have trained under. Pavel’s training methods are a must for anyone who wants to improve their physical ability. From kettlebells to stretching Pavel is the man!”—Jonathan Loden, Federal Agent, Oak Ridge, TN.

  • HAMSTRING Stretching

We do not need to tell you how important it is to have flexible hams. As one famous athlete put it, "I am just a hamstring tear away from oblivion." Yet 99% of the conventional hammy stretches just don't work. Up until now you were either lucky to be born with flexible hams-or you were not.

Just recall the last time you 'stretched' your hamstring. What did you feel? A strain behind your knee and no gain in range of motion? Or a strain under your glute? Or was it in your lower back? One way or the other, you were not effectively elongating your hamstrings but hurting yourself in one place or another. How would you like to experience a deep release in your hip joint and just feel that hammy roll out along its full length and without jamming behind the knee or below the cheek? What would you pay to trade the lower back strain for a sudden relief and dramatically increased ROM? A must for high kicks!

  • HIP FLEXOR Stretching

Would you drive your car with your brake on? Then why do you do it to your body? After all, cars come and go but you cannot trade up your old carcass. The hip flexors on top of your thighs are your body's parking breaks. When they are tight-and unless you have practiced Pavel's stretches, our money is on yours to be tight-they drain your legs' power like a trailer behind a sports car! The power of almost any exertion you make-run, jump, walk, deadlift, kick, punch, swim, you name it-can be effortlessly enhanced just by stretching your hip flexors the Pavel way!

Martial artists, expect your striking power to skyrocket immediately! At the same time you will be amazed with your newly found balance on the ring.

And yes, it has to be Pavel's way because the conventional hip flexor stretches are either worthless-the one practiced by runners is about as effective as stretching your biceps by flexing them!-or plain harmful to your lower back.

Speaking of your lower back, these hip flexor guys anchor themselves to it. When they are short and tight your back just cannot feel good, no matter what you do. You might even get a condition called hyperlordosis, where your lower back overarches and your butt sticks out. Does it look good? Is it healthy? You be the judge.

You will feel an amazing relief in your lower back following Pavel's patented hip flexor stretch which, by the way, is not mentioned in any of his books. Even your posture will change: you will suddenly feel like you are floating up.

Isn't it great to be able to enhance your athletic performance, make your back feel great, and improve your posture with one simple yet subtle technique?!

“I learned more subtleties than in my 19 years of coaching. (I have coached at National, Olympic level). I would highly recommend him to any sports enthusiast.”—Kevin Darkus, Teacher and Manager at Fitness Center; London, UK

  • GROIN Stretching

Okay, you have sat down on the floor and spread your feet apart. What do you feel? Strain inside the knees? You have leaned forward as you have been taught. Funny, you are not getting any longer in your inner thighs but your back is starting to scream. Sounds familiar?

Accept no more dangerous and ineffective stretches! You will be amazed what simple imagery and a subtle pelvic adjustment Pavel will show you can do-on the spot. Your hip joints will suddenly open up like they are made out of rubber, you will forget where you back is, and your feet will start moving further and further out!

Best of all, you can practice this unique hip opener when you are relaxing in front of your TV watching Seinfeld reruns.

“Top-notch instruction in a little understood but crucial area of fitness. Pavel is the best, most versatile fitness instructor conceivable, and to have him in the small group setting is invaluable. Not a moment wasted, not a detail overlooked. I can’t imagine anything better. I was constantly blown away by his level of knowledge and keen observational skills.”—Pilar, St Paul, MN

  • SQUAT Stretching

How long has it been since you could squat on your haunches, freely and without pain? Chances are, not since you got out of high school. Incompetent 'experts' have told you that full squats wreck your knees. The fact is-no pun intended-they simply don't know squat! You cannot be a healthy, agile animal unless you are lubed enough to go up and down.

Pavel will show you his patented, five step, deep squat sequence that is guaranteed to make you squat deeper-on the spot! Unless you have a serious knee condition, you are most likely to go down into a full squat at the workshop-even if you have not done a full squat in thirty years! And your knees will feel good!

Pavel's squats secrets are a MUST for powerlifters, military and law enforcement personnel, and anyone who lays the claim to be young, in action if not in years.

  • SPLITS Stretching

Watch Pavel do front splits, side splits, suspended splits and learn how he got there. Better yet, learn the better and easier ways he has figured out since then, having painstakingly searched for the crème de la crème of stretching super secrets on both sides of the old Iron Curtain. Pavel had to scream, sweat, and shake his way to splits so you won't have to.

How about a subtle tip hoarded by Russian full contact fighters that instantly releases the hip lock, eliminates knee discomfort, and adds a couple of inches to your splits.

Or an outright pleasant drill that lubes your hip joints and sinks you deeper and deeper into both types of splits?

What about a tactic that almost eliminates the painful discomfort of working down into a split?

If you are within a couple of inches of doing a split Pavel will drop you into a full split there and then, whether you like it or not.

You thought splits were impossible. You thought wrong.

“Pavel’s knowledge of the way the body works is unparalleled, and his communication skills are equally impressive. Pavel’s insight into stretching, mobility, and strength cannot be found anywhere else. It was an experience of immense value. I have no prior experience in flexibility activities but I am well on my way to super-mutant flexibility and mobility.”—Steve E., Attorney; Houston, TX.

  • CALF AND ANKLE Stretching

Did you know that the calf stretch you have been doing might have been damaging your ankle? Not any more.

Would you like to be able to extend your foot in line with your shin for smashing roundhouse kicks?

How about being able to comfortably sit on your heels with your toes pointed?

  • UPPER BACK AND CHEST Stretching

What would you give to release that painful cramp between your shoulder blades?

Wouldn't it feel great to open your chest like never before with an unusual collarbone maneuver? Stand tall! And bench press more weight if you are into that sort of thing.

And finally relaxing those traps and letting your shoulders go with a little known martial arts technique will feel great!

“The best seminar I’ve been to, bar none. I learned more about stretching and muscle manipulation in one day with Pavel than I had learned through my whole life.”—Jacob L. Smith, Student; Center Point, IA.

  • NECK Stretching

Weak and tight necks are pathetic. We'll fix it.

How would you like to get the kinks out of your neck while making it stronger in the process?

Would you like to know how to increase your range of motion while decreasing the stress on your cervical spine by opening and closing your mouth at the right moment?

“I now know how to deal with the neck and shoulder tension I’ve carried for 15 years.”—Sybal Janssen, Project Manager; San Ramon, CA.

  • SHOULDER Stretching

Stretch those rotator cuffs like never before with an Olympic weightlifting drill.

Can you raise your straight arms overhead by your ears? We did not think so. Now you can.

Surprisingly enough, this won’t even be everything you’ll come away with from Pavel in your three days with him…

But I think you’ll agree with me that even a tenth of this info would be more than worth the price of admission…

And yet, of course, there is so much more…

Okay, if you’ve got the picture and feel ready to live your life and perform physically with unimaginable new levels of flexibility and body-ease then GO AHEAD AND REGISTER NOW for Unlock! The Course in Effortless and Unrestricted Movement

But just in case you’d like to see a few more testaments to Pavel’s stretching magic:

"Pavel put subtle concepts into normal language. He has described things about the concepts of increasing ROM that have taken me ears to discover in yoga. The biggest benefit that I received was the practical knowledge of helping myself to release tension and cramping; thus protecting me from injury."—Christine Uberti, Clinical Research Monitor; Somerset, NJ.

"I've come to trust Pavel completely when it comes to increasing my "not so natural" athletic abilities. Once again he does his job of instructing superbly. Fortunately this course was so much more than just flexibility. The focus was on proper body alignment and body mechanics and further refining technique. You can count on him to always find a way to make you stronger."—Lorraine Patten, Dentist; Pleasant Valley, NY.

"It changed the way I approach strength training, joint mobility, muscle flexibility, and postural alignment. All my workouts, trainings, and practice sessions will be different from now on. They'll be better. A lot better."—Rob Pakulski, Consultant; Chicago, IL

"As a previous group exercise instructor I have attended numerous workshops on fitness related topics. Not a single workshop can compare to any of Pavel's training courses. I always come to Pavel's courses expecting high quality and practical applications. As usual I have been blown away by the quality, scope and practical common sense nature of the course."—Jennifer Tarle, Speech Language Pathologist; Chicago. IL.

"The earlier version of this course increased my squat by about 10% (the day after the course, including 25+ miles of bike riding to/from). It also increased the depth, by several inches. I expect this to increase my deadlift by at least 15-205%"—Seth Breidbart, Computer Programmer; Minneapolis, MN.

"Once again Pavel has put together a set of skills that will push the limits of athletes, military and the general public."—Chuck Fair, US Army National Guard; Oklahoma City, OK.

"No class I've done even comes close to this. This class is way beyond the usual clinics I've been to. I learned a lot of practical knowledge and techniques I can put into practice right away."—Franklin Pearce, Personal Trainer; Arlington, IL.

"Incredible experience. I am now 10X more confident in my squats. No more guesswork, just get to work stretching and I'll have the flexibility I'm after."—Tonya Ehlebracht, US Army; Rudd, IA.

"This workshop is a terrific anti-aging tool! Two of the traditional characteristics of aging are 1) loss of strength and 2) loss of flexibility. This can sure help with #2. Combine with KB's and you've got the fountain of youth."—Mark Taintor, Teacher; Chanhassen, MN.

"It increased my knowledge and experience of stretching in away I could not imagine. The teaching and techniques were to the point and produced real results immediately."—Bob Beckman, Marketing Consultant; Arlington, VA.

"This is 100 times better than the "normal "stretching exercises that I have been taught. His fine points, which are not in his books & videos, make the difference between doing it ok and being superior"—Laird Johnson, Airline Pilot & Personal Trainer; Summit, NJ.

"Masterful - truly a presentation of the highest quality. The material covered was broad enough to cover a wide variety of practical sport and everyday applications."—Tao Semko, Entrepreneur; Miami Beach, FL.

"Far and away superior to several yoga and other seminars I've attended. The knowledge and flexibility gains were immediate."—Bob Beckman, Marketing Consultant; Arlington, VA.

"Head and shoulders above the back rehab I had for a work injury. I will take this information back to my tactical team. I really want to start squatting again."—Jeffrey Jindra, Police Officer; Andover, MN.

Unlock!™ Master-Key # Two:

Steve Maxwell's
Joint Mobility Recharge™
A Functionally-Dynamic System to Restore
Joint Health, Regain Range of Movement
And Quickly Enhance Physical Performance

“It was super. A very dynamic experience. The tag team between Pavel, John, and Steve left no tightness in my body whatsoever. Great job. The quality and knowledge was superb.” —JON ENGUM, 6th degree black belt in tae kwon do - silver medalist nationals – sparring – currently national level coach; RKC

Steve Maxwell is internationally regarded both as a champion grappler and as a trainer of champion grapplers. Steve's Maxercise Sports/Fitness, was the first kettlebell gym in the United States. Maxercise is also headquarters for two of the oldest and largest grappling clubs in Philadelphia PA, Team Maxercise Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy and the Philadelphia Judo Club. Team Maxercise has long been a training destination for professional and amateur grapplers alike, who come to Steve to be trained for championship by a champion.

Steve Maxwell is known best for his ability to mix training modalities with an unerring eye for workout integrity and efficiency. Steve has been published in Men's Health, Hard Style, Submission Fighter, Muscle Media, Martial Arts and Training, and Ironman- Japan magazines.

Steve Maxwell's Credentials include:

- Master of Exercise Science, West Chester State University
- Senior RKC Certification
- Black Belt, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Relson Gracie)
- Worked with: USSS, FBI, DEA, US Army Intelligence, Southeast PA Transportation Authority Police, US National Park Service, US Marine Martial Arts Program, Seal Team 6, LAPD, Green Berets
- 3-Time World Champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
- 4-time Pan American Champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

So, what do you think? Does Steve strike you as someone who’s been around the fitness block a little bit and might just be able to show you a thing or two?

Oh, and by the way, I have never seen anyone with more passion-in-action than Steve when he’s sharing a high-level fitness secret.

Want Steve’s personal guidance on exactly what you need to do to accomplish a particular mobility goal?

Then, Steve is your Man a hundred times, over…

Heck, Steve even went without his lunch break on one of the last Unlock! days, to answer folks’ questions and help solve their problems…

But back to the content:

Steve Maxwell’s Joint Mobility Recharge™ program is an approach to the functionality of the body that is far removed from the idea of flexibility for it’s own sake. Instead, he teaches dynamic mobility that can keep the body able to participate in the activities of life.

In his 30 years experience as a personal trainer for the general population, grappling instructor, and strength and conditioning coach Steve has seen three major causes for the loss of functionality in the human body:

age, injury, and inactivity…

NO ONE is exempt, the elite athlete can suffer the same as any sedentary individual…

But it was Steve’s experience of his own aches and pains that led him to his work in the area of joint mobility.

Steve had, like most athletes who have had more than a few years of competition, a history of insults and injuries to his body, everything from the standard joint sprains to a broken neck when he was in high school. The prognosis was that he could never grapple again. That was more than 30 years and 2 world titles in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ago.

As the years progressed, Steve saw his mobility declining and knew that this would impair his performance in sports and life, but he rejected Yoga as a solution. He saw Yoga as another discipline that he would have to take the time to practice and become proficient at.

And yet, he had to find some solution to the increasing pain and stiffness that was impairing him…

Steve began his unofficial mission to develop a program of mobility that was effective, simple, and could produce immediate results for anyone, without having to become “good” at it.

And the result was…

Steve Maxwell’s Joint Mobility Recharge™ routines—simple but effective movements that can retain the body’s current range of motion, or regain what has been lost to age, injury, or inactivity.

Steve Maxwell's routines will:

  • Break up joint salts and calcium deposits that cause pain during movement.
  • Release tension that can cause muscular and joint pain.
  • Prevent injury by making the muscles more supple, mobile, and strong in the extreme range of motion.
  • Aid in active recovery after strenuous activity by energizing the body.
  • Accelerate rehabilitation after injury by preventing adhesions and increasing the blood flow, which carries nutrients to the muscles.
  • Reward you with an effective warm up for sports activity by loosening all the major muscles and raising basal temperature without the loss of strength associated with conventional stretching before sports activity.
  • Energize your body first thing in the morning, preparing it to engage in the day's activities comfortably.

And that’s not all…

Since Maxwell’s mobility routines are designed for variable intensity — if you want, you can also use these drills to condition the heck out of yourself.

Steve’s standing and floor routines will include drills to:

  • Loosen your neck and upper spine.
  • Regain range of motion and functionality in your shoulders
  • Reset your back and sacrum.
  • Keep your hands and wrists supple.
  • Increase range of motion in your hips, thighs, and hamstrings, which are usually the cause of most common lower back problems.
  • Strengthen your feet and ankles.

“Having worked with the best as a trainer, it was a terrific experience to find the depth of anatomical knowledge and the accuracy of the proven methods of these three masters. They totally support and complement each other with their knowledge expertise, and professionalism. The course covered everything, every joint, useful immediately personally and professionally with patients.”—DOC KELLY, Chiropractic Physician, Trainer for elite, amateur and professional athletes (all sports)

"At the 2003 Abu Dhabi World Submission Wrestling Championships, Steve Maxwell was there to warm me up and work with me between matches. For my warm up Steve led me through a Joint Mobility routine that left me loose and ready, but totally fresh. Between matches, he took the soreness and fatigue from my limbs as he recharged my body with more mobility movements. That tournament, I not only won my division but with Steve's help, I fought more combined minutes than any other competitor. Steve's the man." -Saulo Ribeiro, 6-Time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion 2-Time Abu Dhabi World Submission Wrestling Champion

"On my second jump of the day at the International Leapfest, a military parachute competition, I slammed into the ground in a dynamic left side PLF that ended up coming to a stop on my head. The time keeper told me later he didn't think I was going to get up, I hit so hard. I did get up and made it to the target in four seconds.

I attribute the fact that I am sitting here writing this to Steve Maxwell. I have been lucky enough to be training at MAXERCISE for about three weeks. He has me doing joint mobility drill every morning (aside from many other exercises). I honestly believe that the drills for my neck saved me from any permanent injury (aside from bruised pride). The man is simply amazing... truly the real deal." -Robert Matthews, US Army

Okay, if you’ve got the picture and feel ready to live your life and perform physically with unimaginable new levels of flexibility and body-ease then GO AHEAD AND REGISTER NOW for Unlock! The Course in Effortless and Unrestricted Movement

And then we have the final key to open up your body—and keep it open!...

Unlock!™ Master-Key # Three:

John DuCane's
Supercharge Mobility Qigong™
Strengthen Your Internal Energy-While Developing a
Cat-Like Suppleness and Snake-Like Fluidity of Movement


“For me Unlock! was an introduction to Qigong, the most advanced joint mobility routine I have ever seen. The level of training and material presented at this course is the best I have ever seen. Near as I can tell you there is nothing else like this anywhere. Absolutely amazing. Outside of the RKC, there is nothing else that is this hands-on, has this much application and is this amazing in terms of new information.”—JOSHUA HILLIS, Personal Trainer, RKC CAS, Crossfit Level 2, NASM CPT, APEX CPT, Krav Maga Level 2

Chinese Qigong masters have spent thousands of years perfecting the art and science of subtle energy and body movement. The range, variety and depth with which qigong works the body has no parallel. Qigong employs a vast array of shaking, vibrating, circling. coiling, twisting, torquing, spiraling and pumping techniques to release, relax recharge, loosen, invigorate, empower, energize and supercharge the human animal.

The qigong ideal finds one perfect expression with the internal martial arts master—a “spirited warrior”, surging with the wild currents of untrammeled energy, yet highly refined, sensitive and balanced. Combining the best of raw animal power with the highest qualities of human mental and spiritual development. Able to pounce like a tiger or strike like a snake—yet the next moment relax into utter tranquility and peace.

John DuCane has spent thirty years researching hundreds of different qigong techniques designed to cultivate the body’s ability to move with the grace, ease and strength of a wild animal. He’s researched the deepest qigong methods for attaining higher states of balanced well being.

And he’s developed his own, personal “best-of-the-best” list of qigong mobility techniques he’ll share with you here including:

  • How to shake and vibrate every fiber of your body simultaneously-for an immediate energy rush and longterm mobility gains
  • An amazing wrist-loosening technique that also strengthens the heart
  • Little-known movements for opening and strengthening the shoulders
  • Dramatic stretches to loosen the waist
  • Powerful moves to open, energize and release the spine
  • Invigorating and very powerful leg-pumping methods for opening up the lower back and spine, while energizing the whole body
  • Coiling and spiralic arm movement for high internal energy and fluid body movement
  • Special chest opening moves that help release and strengthen the whole torso

“Wow! I finally found the missing pieces to unrestricted movement and the ability to achieve pain free range of motion. The quality of training and knowledge provided by Pavel, Steve and John is the highest caliber I have ever experienced from any instructors in any field I have studied. I have and will continue to recommend all three to family, friends and patients. If I only use 30% of what I learned it will increase my physical performance 200%.”— LANCE ALLEN, Licensed Acupuncturist

"I cannot tell you how profoundly changed I feel from over 2 hours of Qigong practice at John DuCane's class. The best way to describe it is - balanced. I think that is what everyone strives for, I know I do. I was affected more with 2 hours of Qigong than years of casual study of western and eastern metaphysical philosophy and constant practice of meditation, belly breathing and sports psychology techniques. I can still feel its effects: it's as though it's easier to be a good person. I am now omitting things from my day so that I can incorporate some Qigong. It is the perfect complement to KBs.

One more thing, John did a qigong tiger form at the RKC. I was standing behind him when he did it so I caught something most didn't: his spine waved like a snake's. I didn't even think that was possible. Just amazing." -Frankie Faires, Dallas, TX

"John, Your ability to break down qigong methods into easily assimilated sections is a very unique skill. I really appreciate the opportunity to have had the chance to study qigong with you. I got a great deal out of the class. Thanks very much. Anyone who has the chance to study from you ought to jump at it. Thanks again." -Steve Cotter, San Diego, CA

I’m kinda kidding, but I can imagine that after you’ve made these priceless Unlock! secrets part of your daily routine…

Your Envious Friends and Relatives May Start Accusing You of Taking Growth Hormone, Using a Magic Potion… Or Getting a Secret Facelift… When You Begin to Look, Act and Feel… TEN Or More YEARS YOUNGER Than Your Real Age…

At this point, the only real question to ask yourself is this:

“Can I really afford NOT to get UNLOCKED?”

Because, the truth is, you only have this one body—and it’s a body that’s going to keep deteriorating on you if you don’t act quickly and EFFECTIVELY to reverse the otherwise-inevitable rot and pain of the aging process…

Why chose pain and rot when you can chose free-flowing, pleasurable, effortless ease of movement?

Truthfully, I am continually amazed that most people DO appear to prefer to fall apart at the seams…

With their self-respect in tatters and rags…

Rather than living the good life of buoyant and resilient energy…

What about you?

If you are ready to join Pavel, Steve Maxwell and John DuCane at their next Unlock!... if you are ready to walk away with twenty years of body-saving secrets in three days… then here’s what you need to know and do:
