278 | ‘The Soft American’ Circa 1960 vs Where we are Today

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Training for When SHTF aka Training for Life

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Training for sport is one thing. Training for Life takes on a whole new meaning. The "rules" of training don't apply as much. You look around and see that you can train with anything, anywhere. You realize that "training" must go beyond the gym walls. Beyond the weights. You realize that the ease and convenience of everything is holding you back. You soon realize that being strong is offensive to many. You will be taxed and penalized for eating meat. "They" want you eating more soy. … [Read more...]

This video takes you inside my training on a lower body day as well as my mindset / attitude towards being combat ready. … [Read more...]

How to Prepare Yourself for The Police Academy

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Recently I was at a commercial gym and about to head out after my training session until 1 of the guys introduced himself to me and asked me if I was a cop.
